UGH quit f*****g calling us "white" or "olivey yellow" or whatever f*****g color. Can I be Brian and not "white boy" for once? Can I be Brian the poet and producer and not "that white boy who spits and makes beats"? Dear Jesus. Whenever a white dude steps up to a mic or produces, he's not a producer or an emcee, he's a "white rapper" or a "white producer". It's an immediate f*****g downgrade because people immediately expect you to suck and some even bias their opinion of you based on your skin color. What's even worse is s**t like "oh he's good for a white dude" or "he's white but he knows what he's doing" like my heritage as an anglo-saxon automatically makes me suck unless I work for it. It's f*****g retarded how some people complain about racism in America and then turn the f**k around and expect "whitey" to be some goofy, disgraceful, republican flunkie with no rhythm. If I were black it wouldn't matter because, of course, even suck-a*s rappers get signed because skin color obviously sells over actual talent.

Okay I feel your pain on that. Sad to say,that's how people are. You have to work three times as hard and make no mistakes before some one says he got talent. Here in the cafe I think it's light hearted. Likefamily jokes so to speak. Out there , they expect to see that stereo type. Rap is very comercialized and if you don't fit that cookie cut image of a rap star well they assume you can't sell. I'd prove em wrong if I were you and I had the skills. From what I've seen anything that works well in the streets gets uplifted. Sad to say, in some cases it gets stolen and sold back. I wish you the best.

Actually...I've found that more white kids know more about the roots of hip hop and good music then alot of the regular black kids listening to young jizum and lil brainz...Some of them have a better handle on what is good music than alot of kids being raised on that bulllllllllllllshit...i'ma check it out T

Another singer I love, even though she is white was Lisa Standsfield I'm All Woman, that song just brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. I like Mariah Carey older stuff when she actually sung a song. Her new stuff is nice, but is her ballards I love. Toni Braxton, Mary J Blige, Jade, Brownstone, Tracy Chapman, Mahaljia (sp) Jackson, Betty Wright....the list could go on. THAT is the sounds I like. I love the 70's soul hits, big fan of Al Greene. Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass, Smokey Robinson, Temptations, Prince (yes even him, but the old stuff), Debrage, S.O.S band, I can shake my groove thang all day long to those peeps. LOL And that to me is what missing!!! Soul in songs, where that sound could NOT be manufactured and easyily forgotten. You guys help me to see...yeah, hip hop is a ugly cousin to pop now and Soul is what is dead now. What happened to groups like Jagged edge, Silk, Portrait, Boyz 2 men and New Edition? I want it back!!! I want SOUL back in our music. THAT is what is missing!!!!


Yeah you know i'm with the old music all day...New edition ,Silk, Troop, Portrait, Jade, Mary J, Luth and Al...yeah u right we could write a hall of fame list and it would last the entire blog...Guy...man we could go on and on. But yeah I miss the days of R and B when music had a soul. But those days are gone...So now its all about getting your mixtape cd's together and making a collection you can get with on the everyday thing. Yeah lisa standsfield was the s**t...Been around the world and i i i...good s**t. Janet jackson when she was in her prime...Yup its gone now girl. Now u gotta listen to weak a*s songs about a guy going "suicuidal" cause some jawn wont talk to him. Weak a*s s**t. How u gonna have a song about suicide on the damn radio. What da hell is that?! But yeah man lets go on strike fuckem.[/quote]


Sorry i just had to put my 2 cents in. How in the hell are they gonna put a song by a 17yr old (just fyi) about suicide on the radio and just because they figure we haven't heard it enough they play it 15 times in less than an hour....I'm sorry but it they complain so much about censorship why in the hell are they gonna let a little kid like him (did I say he was 17 already??) talk about suicide when he's suppose to be appealing to younger generations?? So it's ok to talk about suide just as long and he doesn't say anything about b*****s, hoes, a*s, p***y, ect....? I just don't get it how is that ok?? When most suicides are committed by teenagers!! What's next family guy's scripts are going to become our bibles...lol sorry i'm just being retarded now.

That s**t is subliminal messages like everything else thats why i dont f**k with the radio like that...Mess around and have kids thinking thats the alternative if some jawn aint feeling u...WHERE IS THE SELF ESTEEM?!?!!? Corporate america be on some s**t...

Dont take it personal like monica...Its not about white...its more about america's infatuation with anomoly's..A white rapper...A black Golfer...A white basketball player...A black female tennis player...People fall in love with images that arent normally seen...And its marketable...Look at Michelle Wie...the asian chick...she aint won a gotdamn thing but just because she's young and tryed to play in the pga tour and still gets her a*s whipped she gets media attention..dont take it to heart...Sometimes that bullshit can work to your advantage

Brian, although i do look at you differently cuz your white *takes time to laugh at white people* i don't look down at you because of it. i think hip hop is universal and i have no problems with white rappers as long as they don't suck. i was a huge eminem fan before and he's actually the reason i started rapping. i wanted to be as lyrical as he was but right now this dude named Tree Freeman, who is a white kid who graduated from my high school a year before i did, is probably one of my biggest motivations and one of my favorite artists.

sorry Brian, you'll always be white to me. but if you're good at what you do you'll be white and talented

I have to agree with Troy..... no matter what race you are you get respect in what you do if your good at it. You can't be mad if some one call's you what you are unless they mean it in a totally disrespectful demeanor. It's just like Obama running for president they don't call him Obama to most people he's that n***a running for president or the black democrat or that n***a that made it. Everyone is judged on there race no matter what. That's why eminem is now known as eminem and not the "white rapper" he WAS good at what he did. So basically if your white then just be white, but be the best white emcee/producer to ever hit the mic or make a beat so people can actually remember who you are by what you do and not by the color of your skin....
