He was genuinely a fun artist to listen to because his overall persona was down to earth and entertaining. His lyrics weren't half bad either.

Rae and Ghost are doing a 20 year anniversary tour of Cuban Linx. I'm thinking whitey might have to mind himself at that show but we'll see.

I've been to see Wu Tang, and there was definitely a large black audience, but they're also a famous group even today, so it's not really fair to compare them to older artists who don't have the same name recognition in this day and age.

And I didn't have to mind myself. Everybody was too busy smoking weed to give a **** about all the white people.

Just don't say nigga when you're rapping the lyrics or it'll turn into that weird movie scene where the music gets cut and everyone turns around to stare at you.

Just because they were popular among white people doesn't mean they weren't more popular among black people. I'm not saying white people haven't always listened to rap, but don't tell me the fanbase hasn't shifted since the 80s. Let's be honest Eminem brought a ton of white fans to rap.

Could be, but that isn't what you said. You said the majority of their audience was black.

Well I believe the latter to be true which means the majority is black.

How so?

If it's more popular with black people than white people than black people are the majority of the fan base. We aren't that far apart in age and I can tell you almost no one in my school listened to rap other than maybe wutang.
