I get so sick and tired of white boys try­ ing to be like Nubian Kings and white girls trying to emulate the nature of “a sista" just to get into a broth­ er's drawers. For centuries, since the first African ancestors were brought here, whites have tried to imitate blacks in every way, shape, form, or fashion and I'm tired of it. They watch what black folks do and try and try again to make it into a trend. This isn’t about racism. It is about image. "Hey Whites! Rap is not our music.” Just kidding.

And it doesn’t take long to figure out who’s real and who's fake. I would now like to take you on a short exploration of whites in rap: One thing that all white rappers have in common is the one word that looms in front of them like a gigantic Poetry collection explores the roadblock.
