Do you know of white Gansta Rap professionals ? That`s a Black thing, no matter what you think.
Pssst.... Check this out.
According to Charles Aaron of Spin Magazine, 71% of rap listers are in
fact white:
"Demographically, there's no mystery; the terms majority and minority
are busily playing musical chairs. Between 1970 and 1990, the white
population in the United States dropped almost 10 percent, while the
black population rose slightly, the Hispanic population doubled, and
the population of Asians and other nonwhites tripled. The nonwhite
middle class is now a substantial suburban presence. Despite pressure
to choose "black" or "white," Americans identify themselves more and
more as mixed-race or biracial. Hip-hop, during this period, has
mirrored the country's multicultural shift, becoming a pitched battle
of race and identity. Emerging as the radical (re)vision of pop-rock
that punk never managed, hip-hop is the crucial cultural influence for
Generation X and beyond. The music-industry numbers are undeniable.
According to a SoundScan study, 71 percent of rap music is purchased
by white consumers..."
