People need to reconsider this whole definition of a genre of music by the race that historically dominated and originated it.
It would be like people bashing black people for using English as a medium of speech because of the "hype brought about by Kunta Kinte showing that he was educated."
Or maybe we should beef black people falling for the hype of learning French because "chicks dig it."
All I´m saying is, as the cleche goes, "Hip-hop doesn´t belong to anyone, it belongs to the people." Cheesy, but f***ing true. There are a lot of "larney white kids" who could tell me more about hip-hop and have a deeper pa**ion for it than I could and ever will. There are a lot of "larney white kids" who eat, shit and breathe hip-hop 24 hours a day. Does it make them any less worthy to be welcomed in our community because they´re white. What´s this "for us by us!" mentallity we´re all of a sudden following. We´re beginning to behave like those same racist nationalists from the past, that we´ve read about, that we hate with such a pa**ion. Sure they started it, but does that really justify us using their model? Does it ,make us any better than they, any more righteous?
I say, to paraphrase Dr Martin Luther King Jr, "let them not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the character of their heart."
Boom!
