Kind of ironic that music created amongst conditions of extreme poverty in places like South Central LA is now so popular with rich suburban white teens.

Why is this?

[Akkuz]

coz soulja boi crankd it up

[Devel]

People like it?

[*theKid*]

'Cos black rappers are 'hard'

[_MaLc_]

i like to crank dat ****.

edit: bastard. someone beat me to it.

[PeanutButterJellyTime]

Blame Eminem

[n1r4v]

They want to be hardmen

[sjaf]

Even more bizarre; why do racist British skinheads listen to ska music? It comes from the Caribbean..

[spex]

Why should race have a ******* thing to do with what music you like ?

[redluc]

Because life in suburbia is all about 'bare merkage'.
Be real to yo'self.

[punktopia]

Someone told chavs black men have large penises; now all chavs want to be black.

[Lampshade]

*turns off dirty south online radio station*

[zKlown]

Most rap these days is very commercialised and aimed at a wider audience (such as Gym Class Heroes, Kanye West and Flo Rider)

The more hardcore Hip-Hop underground stuff still is more associated with "black" minorities. Most people are just suckers for a decent beat

[chilleyd]

well said spex!

[Keiron]

Coz guns don't kill people, wappers do!

Seriously though, where did you come up with that? From the Too posh wash encyclopedia? Created in South Central LA .... oh boy lol

kind of a generalization, and a major one. . .

RELAX! DON'T DO IT!
WHEN YOU WANT TO GO TO IT!
RELAX! DON'T DO IT!
WHEN YOU WANT TO COME!
RELAX! DON'T DO IT!
WHEN YOU WANT TO SUCK IT TO IT!

Lyrics don't neccessarily matter a whole lot. I don't think everybody in Britain was having gay sex when Frankie Goes to Hollywood stormed the charts.

People like the music and listen to it.

I don't know many white lads my age here that love hip hop and rap... its mostly Electro, House, Trance and Dnb which is favoured Perhaps in London it could be like that but up here it aint

[SuicideCommando]

...Rap is popular. Everywhere.

[Revolution is my Name]

because it makes them think that they're all hard, when in fact they're not hard enough to listen to metal
