I recognise this, and I would say it could be one of the negative parts of hip hop culture depending on the rapper being listened to, but I chose to focus more on the good that hip hop has done. I know there would always be people that would bring to light the wrong notion of the black people that rappers put in their songs, so I might as well leave those people to do their job while I do mine.
The reason why I am writing this is because of the wrong conception that a lot of people have over a recent event in hip hop culture. Jay-Z and Kanye West are on a Watch The Throne tour, and there friend Gwyneth Paltrow (a white actress) was with them while they were in Paris. And while they were in Paris, performing their hit song, Niggas In Paris, she got over excited about the reaction of the crowd, and tweeted this words- "Niggas In Paris for real", with a picture of herself dancing on stage. A lot of people, bloggers, hip hop reporters and some rappers have bashed her endlessly on the use of the "N" word.
Personally, what I see is the beginning of what I feel black people in America have always wanted- Equality. I think someone like Gwyneth Paltrow and other younger generation of white people that love to be a part of the hip hop culture no-longer see Negroes as black people, but just as people like them and the rest of the white people out there. What I am saying is that Hip Hop music has been able to bridge that gap between the races, to the point where you have white rappers, Black rappers Asian rappers, Hispanic rappers; Hispanic listeners, Black listeners, white listeners, and Asian listeners. Now, you have a lot of white people at hip hop shows and concerts, and they look up to this rappers. They don't just like the music, they like and respect the musicians.
I think this is a great development. Although this is just a social thing, it will definitely transcend to other spheres of life. And, one step at a time, the dinosaur age of white people that can't stand black people will fade out, and this new generation would take over, and we will just be one happy planet...One Human Race.
