Emulating Black Culture

[Darthphere]

Damn kids and their rap music!

Parents have a reponsibility too. They can't just blame work for not being there for their kids. It is called time management.

Like I said before, rappers are at fault as well. But the best that can happen is censoring bad words on the radio, and putting a parental advisory on their albums. While rappers should put out more valuable songs out there, it's still not right censoring their right as an artist to do what they want.

Excuse me.....but didn't I say "help" the parent out?? That infers that the parent is trying to raise the kids the right way. It takes a village...etc..... But when the village is fighting against the parent, it makes it darn near impossible.

Nobody's asking rappers to raise our kids. We're just asking that they put out material that "everybody" can listen to. Like music "USE" to be. Is that so hard??

There was once a time when you could just have the radio on in the house for all to hear. Not any more. Tell me....Is that progress??

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head

Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico

Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down
Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee
if you've got the warrant just aread it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail

Early next mornin' bout a half past nine
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Talked and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court
Into the courtroom my trial began
where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw the little judge commence to look about

In about five minutes in walked the man
holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered Lordy Lordy have a mercy on me

The judge he smiled as he picked up his pin
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad ***** down
Come on you've gotta listen unto me
lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be

Speaking of which, as I was coming out Snakes on a Plane, I see a car pulling up blasting some loud ass rap, I mean the real hardcore stuff, and who do I see inside but three Abercrombie and Fitch/Hollister wearing white dudes. I know it's wrong, but I laugh my ass off when I see that.

 

[Alpha and Omega]

It's far too common around my area as well.

 

[Lantern Venom]

OMG! Teh braids are black exclusive!

Not really. It's been part of the Samoan tradition for a long time too.

 

[The Riddler]

dumb thread.

seriously, who cares?

Did I say everything was right? Plus we didn't listen to country music in my house. There have always been artists who take it to the edge. But now???? Everybody takes it there...and over.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Even before Hip Hop people have been attracted to black culture as to what's cool. Look at the days of the Blues and Jazz culture

White people like Elvis took Rock N Roll which was started by blacks and rolled with it....

Besides most black culture is mainstream that I wonder if people know there emulating it?

Crackers BEEN listening to Hip Hop though...

Sometimes it's mockery, sometimes it's flattery.

All depends on how seriously you take it

Man, I see this all the time where I live and I can't do anything but shake my head.

There's nothing more silly then seeing a group of preppy white girls wearing stupid Abercrombie & Fitch clothes and flip flops saying "we look so gangster".

You know what's sad about those dudes? There the same hipsters that before Eminem came along they mocked Hip Hop culture, the token black dude at there school, there little brother who they saw as a "******" (and he probably was, although some whiteboys just generally love the culture so I'm cool with those ones) and saw it as a novelty. But when Eminem came along suddenly it was different story....

 

[Darthphere]

So if a black kid dressed up in Dockers, wore a polo shirt and some top-siders, would he be emulating white culture?

that's called dressing properly. now if they wore a sweater tied around thier necks, thats just pure preppyness.

 

[E-Mack]

that's called dressing properly.

Proper in what case? Going outside?

There's more than way to dress "properly". In fact, I'd say there's no such thing.

i never said that was one way of dressing properly. how can you say theres no such thing? i doubt you're going to go to church wearing baggy pants, that shows your butt crack, with some huge ass shirt, with bling hanging around your neck.

 

[PyroChamber]

Am I the only black guy in the world who doesn't like bling, or jewelry period?

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

no you're not. I certainly don't.

 

[Alpha and Omega]

Period? No.

In "Chi-town?" Probably.

Seriously, I think the only jewelry I have is my hs ring, a few classy time-pieces for formal evenings, and a few cuff-link/tie-clip ensembles.

There's no way you'd catch me in some ridiculous medallion or pendant; it makes no sense and most of the people(race aside) who do it are cattle stampeding from one fad to the next.
