This is why I am a Hip Hop Fan 4 Life...
The people who have done the most to ruin hip hop and sell out have been the black artists themselves. Stop blaming white people for everything. White people don't have to steal anything, these guys are just giving it away for the money. Has anyone done more to prostitute hip hop in the name of cash than Puff Daddy or Dre? Has Master P proved anything other than you'll never go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator? NWA did more to ruin rap than any white person ever could have.
Blame black people who love money for the death of black culture, but don't ever say it was stolen. Before you guys start blaming others and acting like victims, you need to take a long hard look at yourselves. The very word "steal" is misleading. These people say it like there are white people with guns sneaking around stealing your culture while you are sleeping and helpless. I am white and I know all about classic hip hop and the great rappers of the past. I'm not stealing anything, I am just a consumer of what I believe is good music. I take enough crap from ignorant white people about my choice of music, I don't need to hear it from racist black people as well.
Life is progress. Life is change. The question is why are these people so quick to assume that white people do not respect hip hip history? That is such a pathetic and racist stereotype. Look around, most of the black kids on the street don't even respect hip hop history. Its not a race issue, its a stupidity issue that transcends race. I try to talk about Rakim and EPMD and kids look at me like I am some old idiot. Look at the whole dirty south and gangster movements.
White people didn't inflict those plagues upon us. It was black people. Why does everyone hate on Eminem? That man can rap his ass off, and he is actually talking about something other than Money, Hoes, Jewelry, and Champagne (Thank you for Bling Bling P-Diddy, Biggie, and Jay-Stupid-Z).
FUCK ALL OF...
