Kind of still wondering why it is that you end up favouring the white rappers, even if you don't know they're white initially.

[(Anonymous)]

I've wondered this myself. I like a lot of hip hop but it's turned out to be by predominantly white artists. I don't know that they're white until I look up videos or something, but the consistency of the pattern makes me wonder.

[(Anonymous)]

Which white rappers do you like? I can only think of four off the top of my head lol

[(Anonymous)]

Which four? Eminem is the only white rapper I can think of off the top of my head.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

Macklemore is one I was definitely surprised was white.

[(Anonymous)]

Is "Thrift Shop" Macklemore's? Because if it is, I would never guess he was white based on that song.

[ninety6tears]

The Beastie Boys and Slug from Atmosphere and that's about all I got.
I would be surprised if OP is a big Vanilla Ice fan.

[(Anonymous)]

El-P. Who I also thought was black until I saw a video.

[(Anonymous)]

Cage, Sage Francis, Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks, and then you've got the Australian hip-hop scene (Hilltop Hoods are the only real mainstream ones). I know there are more but I can't think of them right now...

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, and Mike Shinoda! I liked his solo stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

Eminem, Macklemore, Vanilla Ice, Beastie Boys. Yep.

[(Anonymous)]

Er, Aesop Rock? ...Professor Elemental?

I've run out.

Warning for generalisations:

Could it be that you relate to the general subject matter favoured by many white rappers compared to black rappers? It can be harder to really identify with an African-American rapper talking about his life growing up in the ghetto and such if you've never grown up in the ghetto yourself. A lot of white rappers such as Eminem, Slug, Cage, many Australian rappers, etc. tend to talk about emotional struggles and relationships a bit more. It might just be that their cultural experiences resonate with yours a bit more.

I know that when I used to be really into rap, I admired and respected so many black artists. But could always relate more to Slug talking about his relationship struggles than 2Pac talking about life in the 'hood, for obvious reasons.

I dunno, this is just a theory -- anyone else feel the same way?

(Disclaimer: of course not all black rappers rap exclusively about gangsters in the ghetto, and white rappers do rap about that too. I am just theorising about general trends I observed when I used to be into hip-hop, and by no means saying ALL black rappers are gangsters or whatever.)

[(Anonymous)]

it's possibly an airplay thing. white rappers tend to be more mainstream

[cadremage]

...what?

Who are these white rappers that are so mainstream? The only two I know of are Eminem and Macklemore (and the latter is, obviously, rather new).
