My point wasn't that I was bragging about knowing the most. I was merely stating that while all these Limp Bizkit fans in school are all claiming to be "true hip-hop" fans and all wearing Ecko now, I don't feel that its necessary to make my apperence "hip-hop". I just meant that white kids wearing FUBU is bad enough but they could at least know something about the culture. see what I mean?

That was my point exactly. re-read my post.

Yes, it does. I live hip hop music. I seriously lay down at night with my head phones on and just listen to it until I fall asleep. Everynight. I'm by myself with no else around; thers no front, I'm not trying to impress anyone. Yes, I hear the messages, yes I "feel" it. Hip-hop has made my cry if thats what you mean. Why do you think I like the artists I do. If I was into it for the beats then wouldn't I just playing some ruff ryders?

>Welp, the wigger you hate just
>might be yourself.
Wiggers try to to be black. I'm just trying to be a hip hop fan without any of the shit that goes along with it when you're white. seriously, not every balck person feels hip-hop so why is it so impossible that a white boy can feel it.
