Why do some people think all black people know every rap song?

Posted by admin on April 3rd, 2010 and filed under rap music artist | 9 Comments »

I noticed that a lot of people from different races will start talking about random rap artist and songs when ever they talk to a black person as if we know every rap song or artist. Why do some people do that? I mean, I know some rap music and artists but I’m not that into all of that. I also would like to know why is it that when ever I’ve been in the car with some people of different races, they always have to turn on rap music. What’s up with that? Has anyone else experienced this?

EXACTLY!!

When I was in high school white people would approach me and all of a sudden start singing a rap song and talking about rap music as if I listen to it just because I’m black.

I guess they thought they could try and relate to me……..sad attempt.

Those people got on my nerves.

They strongly believe in black stereotypes and generalizations too.

    Because your own culture advocates that you should know all rap songs and if you don’t listen to rap you’re a race traitor.

    I don’t make the rules, jesse jackson and al sharpton do.

    I know. This might be a surprise to them..but I absolutely hate rap music. I liked a couple of songs back in the early 90s but rap music today is disgusting and I just can’t listen to that stuff without getting a headache.

    Stereotypes, it’s annoying when I ask what type of music someone likes that’s not black and they go "I don’t like rap". I asked what you like not what you don’t like. Your question is similar to mines though.

    Considering it mostly white kids who buy the music, you should be asking them about rap songs.
