Its not so much racism. I have no problem with people listening to any kind of music they can relate to. The question is how one group of people can relate to the life experiences of another group of people who have lived 180 degree different lives and lifestyles.
How the fuck does a suburban upper middle class kid with a BMW relate to some guy from the hood who potentially knows no dad and has a prostitute for a mom? What exactly
do you have to be angry about? How much drug dealing
have you seen? How many drive-bys
have you been a part of? How many friends
have you lost to violence?
Try driving your 335 down the streets of compton bumping your hip hop with your hat turned to the side and see how well received you are LOL I dont think you will garner a lot of respect from the people in the areas where hip hop was born.
Oh, BTW, hows France in the summer?
