double standards

[jpeck]

i was jus listen to my music today and noticed alota rappers say cracker all the time in lyrics and its ok but if a white rapper says nigga hes a racist. wat ya'l think bout this anyone agree with me that there are double standards with rap now days?

[MalcolmMeX]

yes multiple double standards do exist.


see my post in the "does racism still exist" thread.

how you gon say black people dont have standards thats dumb. and it aint jus plies its wayne nas and alota other rappers but i remeber a couple years ago they dug up old eminem shit where he said nigga once and it was a huge deal.

well what do you think Nas was trying to do with this new album?

"Not mad cuz Eminem said nigger
cuz he's my nigger
wigger
cracker friend
We all black within
okay
we all African
okay
Some Africans don't like us? no way!"

"I'm a nigger
he's a nigger
she's a nigger
we some niggers
wouldn't you like to be a nigger too?
To all my kike niggas
spic niggers
Guinea niggers
chink niggers
that's right, y'all my niggers too"


the problem is too many people saw the album's message differently and in the end... what the album was made to get rid of in the first place... it just helped spread more.


and also im pretty sure Nas himself is confused about what his own album/message was about because Ive seen his interviews about the album and it seemed like he was confused on quite a couple of things regarding what he and his music stood for.

Okay it's not logic but Rap is black music, white ppl who listen to it are still a part of a minority, minority can complain it don't change shit, it's not black folks who gon help you about it and it's normal *N Word*

if you're talking about the white artists being in the minority then thats true..
but if you were talking about who listens to it and buys it then your wrong because white people actually make up the majority of the people that buy it and listen to it.

anyways thats not the problem. the problem is all the misunderstandings in hip hop.
