I can think of osme myself but no real reason. The main reason in my head is the black vs white thing historicaly in the USA and therefore whites doing music form black culture being percived as ...... bad / corny. Things changed a lot but it's still at the point I literary want to start a duo with a black guy to not feel stupid bout myself on stage as white dude who also raps in his music. My music is going to be a mix, I just have osngs writen not recorded and produced but there's about 35% rap in it and it's simply cause I like to write raps, they're good.
When you think about it, being white and rapping is pretty much the only thing in the entire world where if 1 race does something that is considered culture of another race does, it is very controversial. No matter what esle you would do that was not originaly part of your culture there wouldn't be as nearly of a big "thing" as if you rap and are caucassian. Caucassian aka whitey ;/ .
Maybe the thing is that it often could feel liek someone white is pretending ot have the life of someone black, like hey you didn't go trough what we did but nah if someone is high class suburbs black and they rap = no problem, even if they are black from another continent if they rap in english it's cool, nothing unusual. But whites is just like "oh oh this guy is -white- he raps - oook. In 2012 it's way way different but you can't really erase the past. Before I deleted my facebook I had tons of afor americans and they all been very cool with me also liking rap, like not 1 instance of negativity.
I guess if I was in the USA i could test it first hand and be like ok so it is cool, like whatever, it's just MY music and my musical influences I can do what I like. But bieng in a random ass country in europe I'm thinking I should just get a black dude form the USA, it's better.
I already had 1 guy to form a duo with, networking has become easy to me, but lol it turned out he was the typical hood dude, he was really nice, but his music was lyricaly kinda like pac, it wouldn't fit togehter at all, he even still sold drugs, or sells better said. I mena he is gonna rap bout his strugels the system and street life and I'll do what on the song ....
I personaly don't feel bad bout being white and including rap in my music at all, but being on stage and rapping as white dude, dunno bout that. Once I did a karaoke show, it was more like a singing competition, noone read the screen lyrics and people really could sing msotly, and 1 of the 2 songs I did was "Umbrella" I didn't even think nothing bout the first part f Jay rappin, so the beat starts and I'm like ok let's go, I didn't give it 0 tough that it was a rap intro, I'm bout to rap - look into the crowd and change my mind instantly, well that place was about croatian folk music anyways, I was outa place. Last place for me .
I type reckelss, sorry for typos of any.
