We're talking about the music and where it comes from, right? Her music, her songs...the whole thing came from outside the culture being targeted.

Want genuine teen music? Check for the Beastie's 1st album.

Umm...the band's. Or their parents. Or whatever.

I mean, as far as I know they weren't part of Black culture, but they made "Black music". I could be wrong...I'm assuming they weren't part of the culture cuz they weren't Black.

It takes more than making music to be accepted into a culture. I could make a bomb assed piece of Bhangra...but I'm not going to be accepted as an Indian b/c of it. You know?

We're talking about the music coming FROM the culture, right?
