White boys from the suburbs discover rap music!!

I have to laugh at the part during the woodshop scene, when one of the white boys in class, pops in an Ice-T song in the cassette player. It's funny how all the other white dudes just flock around together in front of the radio like pigeons. As if somebody threw bread crumbs on the floor. And the guy who popped in the tape in the first place, acted as if he just discovered electricity. LMAO, White boys can be so funny!!!

I'm sorry...but if the roles where reversed and some black guy from in all-black high school, eagerly puts in a Kenny Chesney tape in the tape player, expect that black guy to get shot by his classmates.

Yeah, white boyz now got themselves Vanilla Ice, Snow, and Eminem. And Black folks got themselves, Cowboy Troy.

Kill Whitey!!!...(No the guy from Leave It To Beaver)

Except the reverse wouldn't be Kenny Chesney it would be Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, Iron Maiden, Pantera, or something like that.

I'm a white suburban guy and I've listed to rap since the mid-80's and it was the first music I was into to. I just didn't see the appeal in White Snake or Ah-Ha. It wasn't until Green Day released "Dookie" in 1994 that I showed any interest in rock music, and now I listen to everything (outside of country). And on the other hand, no I don't "dress black" as many teenagers today do. Find it funny that some people just won't accept that it's just the style now. If anything I'd rather just not see every teenager shaving their heads, that's only ridiculous part I see in it as not everyone can pulled off the shaved look.

[–] jayhn1111 16 years ago

people can't accept that that's the style? That may be the style as far as the way kids dress, (which is bad enough), but unfortunately it has become the "in" thing to do to put up a phony front and create a fake accent and try and walk and talk like they were black. No disrespect whatsoever to black people, I just think it is pathetic the way all these kids are pretending to be something they are not. The "style" should be to be yourself and stop pretending

yeah you can wipe your arse but it wont stop the *beep* coming out.

It's so wonderful for you do define how black people walk and talk. I didn't know there was a black way of walking and talking. Maybe you're confusing Hip Hop culture with Black American Culture. Those two things are not equivalent.

[–] jayhn1111 9 years ago

You're welcome and I'm happy to do it. Yes they are equivalent because the hip hop culture is overwhelmingly prevalent among young black males. And not only that, you hear all the time about black kids being bullied that aren't part of the hip hop culture and they're told they're not black enough or they're a sell out to the white man.

You watched Pump up the Volume, know how to use a computer, and come to imdb to post about movies.. its you that pretends to be white.

If you love hiphop; then you had better thank God for white people; because if they did not exist; hip hop would collapse; they are the ones who are buying it.

No, Hip Hop artists will still be doing fine if just Blacks and Latinos bought it. Whites didn't start buying much hip hop until the 90's. Before that artists got wealthy just selling to POC.
