:word: i definitely agree with what y'all are saying
the article definitely poses a good question: Why aren't the black audience interested in political hardcore hip-hop. i think it's kind of nice 2 know that the state of hip-hop has changed for whites and they can appreciate that stuff, but it's not really made 4 them. the black audience has recieved the message in their communites that they're supposed 2 be as gangsta as they can be and that's why they've bought in2 the gangsta rap. i think it's nice 2 know that white people can still enjoy sensible underground rap, but i have 2 admit there's a lot of stupid fake white gangsters who like Eminem. overall, it's sad that hip-hop has had to come to this state.
