Black people have to take an L on this one....When the older generation started seeing the wack changes that were going on in rap 15 years ago, they were shouted down as being old irrelevant haters, and all that mattered was making money. Over time the significance and meaning was pushed out of rap, and the idiocy not only took over but became the standard. Most importantly black people were pushed out. Now rap is barely popular and doesnt make good music, almost all the popular rappers and money makers are white, and white girls can come in and push a totally insulting imitation of black inner city inflection and nobody bats an eyelash as they become superstars

Hip hop doesnt so much suck now, as it is irrelevant. Just like the "old" rappers new jacks derided years ago.

Not only this...but her (And others like her, Miley, Macklemore, etc) are condescending and cocky about it.

Race has been an issue since you first got noticed as the tall blonde who rapped. Did you understand that some people in the U.S. would think you were fake?
Yeah, but it’s retarded. The Rolling Stones go to America, play “black” blues music, and nobody has a fukking issue with it or thinks it’s weird. But here we are, 50 years later, in the 21st century, and people are like, “This is so weird that you’re white, from another country, and you like black music.” Why is it not weird for Keith Richards or Mick Jagger, but it’s so weird and taboo for me? Do you think a kid liking my music is gonna make rap music some other thing, or that all of a sudden nobody’s gonna like Scarface?

In a country where “speaking black” has been a hindrance in almost every profession but rap, do you see how a white person making money in rap by adopting this accent could ruffle feathers?
If you’re mad about it and you’re a black person then start a rap career and give it a go, too. I’m not taking anyone’s spot, so make yourself a mixtape. Or maybe if you’re black, start singing like a country singer and be a white person. I don’t know. Why is it such a big deal? This is the entertainment industry. It’s not politics. You should be more concerned about the message, not the voices saying it.
