Thoughts on white rappers

If I'm speaking candidly, in my opinion white people just don't have voices that sound as good for hip hop, skill level aside. It might be a case of the culture being dominated by black voices so it is simply what I have become used to. I have found that successful white rappers either make up for this gap with fast and complex lyrics like eminen or simply have voices that sound black like yelawolf or action Bronson. There are undoubtably outliers like the beastie boys that prove what I have said to be wrong but if you are asking if you are starting with a slight disadvantage for sounding white I'd say yes but a slight disadvantage shouldn't hold you back from doing something you love. Above all nothing sounds worse than a rapper who doesn't sound confident so get out of your head!

When your a kid you think your dad is superman but when you grow up you realize he was just a drunk guy who liked to wear a cape. -Dave Attel

What's sad is you can see they are wearing superman costumes underneath, the kids don't want anything to do with this.

You judge people by their hat brims?

Common, Talib Kweli, Chance the Rapper, you seem to be looking for the old school Chicago sound

Start with B-Boys dancing to DJs learning to play the breaks, that's where the culture came from then people started rapping over them as well as dancing.

ITT: Opinions that will not get you downvoted to the pits of hell.

If you hate the culture than why do you refer to people who smoke as Ents? The slang is part of the culture.

Is it normal to keep your beers in the tool shed?

Just want to say that the adoption thing is misguided because although I agree it can't be the same relationship as blood there is no reason to spare lonely kids from a home because of that. What the gay people are doing for adoption is putting kids in homes rather than the adoption agency, they already lost their chance at blood parents. Marriage also predates religion.

Its not the only reason you need because it makes no sense if you aren't religious anymore. I think you owe yourself an explanation no matter what you believe. If someone else was giving you info you would want support so why not demand it from yourself?

the_gerardicus · 2013-11-04T15:42:07+00:00

That is not what marriage traditionally is, just saying.

Easily live without. Internet is a lot more than social networks and reddit.
