Maybe hip-hop is no longer ‘a black thing’, but there is such a history of black people creating an art form and then having it co-opted by big business that it can’t help but anger some of us. Jazz, blues, rock and roll and hip-hop were all decried as worthless n**** music, until someone figured out that 1. Young white kids loved it 2. They could make money off it by putting out watered down versions with a white face. Not saying there aren’t white talented rappers (Eminem is not the first – Beastie Boys and 3rd Base were doing it long before him), but can anyone seriously say there is anything real about an Australian woman with a fake ass reciting someone else’s words with a put-on southern accent?
