"Sounding Black"=Bad?
 
I'm white, and love to listen to and make rap music. I have a music background and feel as though I make decent beats and lyrics. The only problem is my voice. I honestly think it wouldn't sound bad if I tried to "sound black." But I definitely don't want people to think that. What do you guys feel about that?

I think you should do whatever comes naturally. Who cares if you "sound black" or don't "sound black".

I think it would sound worse if you were a white dude putting up a facade of being black, rather than just doing your own natural thing.

This.

Don't be something you're not.

Like they said. It doesnt matter how you "sound". ****ty/good music has no preference.

An example would be all the popular white reggae bands. Sublime for instance took being white and ran with it.
