Whites have been acting or trying to "act" black since Blue Suede Shoes. This present situation of white fascinated with Hip_Hop culture is no different than whites being fascinated and inlfuenced by early jazz and bebop era.
Every form or art or genre of culture emerged from Black America has been degraded in its birth form by white america, but as it matures and lil white kids grow up listening to Snoop and Pac, a generation spawns of whites fascinated with the present black pop culture.
So now as you see so called noted white musicians paying homage to cats such as Coltrane up to G. Clinton. You'll see the same in years to come with old white men talking about their rare collection of 2Pac CD's.

- Old is new & new is Old, or so I've been told...
