(Anonymous) 2013-04-09 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)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.)
