White niggass

Can a white person be a rapper? can a white person listen to rap?? Can a white person rhyme? or does a white person have swag?? 

This week we talked about the dilemma of white people in rap music. In short, why do white people like rap music or even become rappers?

Everything but the Burden: " what white people are taking fro; black culture" was the base of our lecture this week.
We can already see the main dilemma in the title of the book. White people are co-opting black styles of music, dance, dress, and slang. Though, they can in no way “take the burden” of blackness, of whose roots go back way further in the past.

Well to my opinion white people may love rap as well as create rap. I personally love rap and love song white artists. 
BUT I do think it's an african american thing to rap, when you are white you have to create your own style or be really good. 



this is one of m favourite songs by Mac Miller.


This discussion about white people saying the word n*gga has come up before and is another dilemma about white poeple rapping or liking rap music, now do you think that A white person should use the word nigga ?? or do you thing its insulting?


This is the Answer of an African American : Now, I'm NOT saying that white people should be able to address their Black friends as n*ggas, or even say n*gga in their daily lives, but what I'm saying is that I KNOW that MOST white people don't edit the word n*gga out of their vocab during a rap sing-a-long.”


The African Americans do merit credit and gratitude for inventing hip-hop and the history of hip-hop cannot be changed. But I do think that white people can be part of it.
