He's right you are just trying to be a snobby elitist.
I' give you an example from 2012. "A Queens story"
A non New Yorker wouldn't be able to understand the references Nas is making in that songs.
You act as if Nas didnt know that when he recorded the song. Maybe it was something for his New York peoples, maybe he didnt want EVERYONE to know what he was talking about. It's not about being a "snobby elitist" its about preserving black/(peurto/domin/etc) music, because that's what it really is. Where did hip hop start? What was early hip hop about? Now ask yourself why the "sound" if the 90's gone. Who's running hip hop now, who's it aimed at? Who are the main PURCHASERS of hip hop nowadays? It hurts me yall cant see through this scheme. How bout this, put up a youtube video describing how your grandmother/mother make their kool-aid and EXACTLY how they cook all of YOUR favorite meals.
Go on youtube you see all these new white and asian rappers coming out. Who do you think they're really taking after? The music or our people?
"Acting black" has become an accepted term, the media has stripped us of damn near everything and makes us out to be cartoons/caricatures of real people. And yet they still copy our image, so when you see all these other ethnicities wearing durags and saying nikka and you turn the other cheek.. youre perpetuating it.
fukk outta here with that music is for everybody bullshyt. You dont see black artists making waves in the electronic, country, heavy metal or folk music scenes do you?
That every man was created equal shyt is the us constitution bruh. In no holy text have i seen it say all men were created equal. I live for god not the oppressors of my ancestors.
Just the fukk up. Please
Give two examples than.
the hell does this have to with Nas saying lines like 
). Music is for everyone, but the powers that be took it (all music in general) and made it money driven. Yes, rap is mainly geared toward White teens, but whose to blame? It isn't just "bad ol' Whitey's" fault, we barely even support our own. shyt, if we DID support our artists on a more broader scale, you'd see more independent artists like a Master P or Baby, starting up their own labels and generating a good profit.
