As we enter 2012 and hip hop has fully evolved into the multimillion dollar genre of music that it is today we have now embarked on what use to be a joke as well as a rarity but now is the norm... The White Rapper.

The white rapper is no longer swaggerless and without soul. The white rapper not only speaks to white youth but all youth as well.  The white rapper comes from the same places that we do so the white rapper's stories have become relatable.  The white rapper is "gangsta", "hood", "certified" and respected?

Not taking anything away from the new crop of caucasion "clappas" but should we wonder if this has to do with the evolution of the white artist in hip hop or the growth of the business of hip hop which is making hip hop more "friendly" by selling our white brothers and sisters. Is it the same cycle we're going through when white artists in the 50's would take songs from African American acts and sing them as their own?  

Now of course like most people I am a big fan of MGK and Mac Miller and really it doesnt matter to me what color you are as long as the music is great but it's hard to not notice that there are some perks to being the white kid in hip hop these days. Are white artist able to get more press than black artists in hip hop? Are white artist able to express themselves more about their thoughts and ideologies and hardships as compared to black artist who most are successful for "street rap" or "cocaine rap"? Are black artist pigeonholed into this "macho braggadocio" style of music? Did I write too many questions in this blog right now? LMAO

Some of the points that I've brought up may rub people the wrong way and make 'em say "maybe you're just hating". Whatever.. now so many people are afraid to state what they think so they wont be labeled a HATER. I happen to believe in what I say even if I end up being wrong about it. Maybe our culture isn't going through a complete whitewash but if we don't pay attention now to the content of the music we're putting out these white kids are going to gain control of the music we created.

Are the white rappers simply just making better music?

Well, I just want to give you guys something to think about.
