[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]What do I know?
I don't even watch movies or t.v. anymore and I'm on this website :suspicious:[/font][/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Speaking of divide, who's looking forward to going to work today. I can only imagine the "impeachment" discussions that are going to be flying around.

This is me trying to avoid a conversation.

[quote=doubledenim][quote=John McClane]Here’s an interesting question: am I a cultural appropriator for partaking in hip hop? I say no.[/quote]

[font=century gothic]Music is music. If it applies to hip-hop, let's go ahead and assign every music style.

I love hip-hop, but I don't "hear" most lyrics. Rhythm, bass, hook, etc. It's easier to divide than unite and that's what we seem to be doing.[/font][/quote]

It's really a shame what's happening to society. So many people overthinking everything. Beastie Boys had a pretty good go of it without any issues. Eminem, Aesop Rock, 3rd Bass, etc. The term cultural appropriation has become the very essence of segregation and racism. The world's a melting pot, with it comes being exposed to different beliefs, cultures and so on. The outcome? A white kid growing up listening to rap music and wanting to be a rapper. Enjoy your passion. Just make sure you don't have "Lil" in your name. That's actually a felony in the rap game.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Plus,I wouldn't have trust my mom in the slightest to be left alone with my kid. I can only imagine the fights that would have created.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I always feel bad critiquing my parents method of raising me. It’s like how are we supposed to know what we needed as a kid until we’re older and able to reflect on it? And then if, in so doing, we discover we needed something that was neglected due to circumstances outside their control how can we discuss it without devolving into an argument?

As much as I’d love to have a kid the pressure was far to great for me, so I’m ok with not being able to procreate.[/quote]
