“poor whyte dude can identify with being Black about as much as much as drag queen can identify with being female.”

True, but they can identify with being part of a marginalized cultural group.

This isn’t a new idea. Have you ever read A People’s History Of The United States? Blacks and poor Whites have been in an analogous position ever since there’s been a United Snakes.

I never said we could identify with being Black. The implication was that we could identify with being underprivegded, having less access to resources, being discriminated against by the dominant culture, having problems with police, having high teenage pregnancy rates, and living around drug problems.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but a lot of hip hop seems to address those issues.

Black, White, Asian. Who gives a fuck? I know poor White people, I know poor black people. Why do you care how someone else acts? Down here we are trying to fix our racist problems (and believe me we have some problems that you wouldn’t believe) but you fuckheads in the US want to keep the fire burning. Well fuck you! I’m half black half white. What does that make me in “the land of the free?” Fuckin’ clowns.

You make some excellent points. I think this “regional” -hopping-oneupmanship is beyond corny (word to DJ “Hyphy” Shadow).

When will it end? Cant we all agree that most hip-hop coming out in 2006 is pretty much recycled garbage? I dont really buy it when a middle class whyte kid tells me with a straight face that Jeezy is the next shit and do i have the new “BMore club” tape? -Wigga please!

I have to admit i own we got it for cheap vol.2…

I Fux–

Ehh, I hear you. I just have a fond appreciation for the good ol’ days.

As for being a “hipster”, definitely not. Too fat, too hispanic, and too poor for that nonsense.

In any event, I agree with you.

Hey, I guess you’re the only one that’s allowed too extrapolate over here, I’m sorry! (Being sarcastic again).

I don’t care what you say, that Blender article was funny, and says a lot about the superficial nature of Hip-Hop marketing and “the mixtape game.” Rap isn’t special; it doesen’t get to choose who can & can’t make fun of it. If it did a good job of that, Blender wouldn’t have to point out what a farce much of it can be.

I could give a shit about anybody’s opinions or labels on anything. Do you, don’t be a faggot and worry about the next man. Man, there is no hope for our generation. We failed, and this postmakes it all too obvious. Maybe the next one will be better.

@rey

I assume you are hipster because you live in the past tense all the time about when such and such artist used to be hot or whatever the fuck I hate people who talk about the past like it was the best shit ever, I listen to an old Run DMC album on my ipod which was created like a minute ago, so who gives a fuck if hip hop is dead; it cant all of a sudden be like it used to be when De La Soul or Public Enemy actually mattered, Niggas are getting mad cake these days with all the opportunties afforded to them by the doors Run DMC, so to think someone is going to rap the same or with the same hunger is ignorant. Niggas is all about getting money and brandishing that shit in our face. So next time you see a hipster with a grill you will see what hip hop is nowdays, just one big fucking commercial of selling you the latest shit, its immpossible to ignore 50Cent rocking an Ipod on P.I.M.P. or selling some fucking flavored water. It is what it is hip hop wont be the same ever, so just back and enjoy it and if you dont like dont listen; thats exactly what i do.

* This brings a great qoute to mind from the great coach Bobby Knight “If rape is inevitable why doesnt the victim just sit back and enjoy it”

Breihan: I ain’t alone in this observation. Take it for checking.

Walt: I’m not one to argue for victimization, but I’d gather that a poor whyte dude can identify with being Black about as much as much as drag queen can identify with being female.

Freddy & Mrs Marley: Let’s just make believe I didn’t mention the fallacy of binaries. Twice.

And no one fucks with the Eskimos cause all the toxic waste and unused ammunition that this country’s been dumping in the oceans for decades is sending them the way of the dodo. You can look it up.

why must everyone fit into one box or another, I am looked at funny because I’m a young black female that enjoys all types of music from TI to the Wu, Outkast, Phil Collins, Common, E Badu, Lauryn Hill, No Doubt, Dead Prez, Bob Marley, Damian Marley, The Goo Goo Dolls, and much more. The only time I hear about choice of music is when I am around black people (i don’t hang with any white people, work with but not chill) that doesn’t mean I’m trying to be white because I listen to their music, not trying to be Jamaican because I listen to reggae, I just enjoy different music on different days you can’t put a label on everyone

Oh damn, being a white person I apparently can no longer just have love for hiphop like I thought I did. I either have to be a hipster or a wigger!
Ummh….
Can’t some cool black person on these boards tell me which is considered the lesser of two evils so I can choose? If none is available a down-ass latino’ll do. Thanks in advance!
