Current Events > Is it wrong if a white boy uses the N word while rapping a rap song?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well CE?

How hard is it to just not use that word

---

i've always had the opinion that if an artist doesnt want people to sing/rap the words of their songs then they should deliberately not play in front of those people

lauryn hill is a bitch for her comments about white people buying her CDs but at least she's consistent

As a Black person, no.

---

What does wrong mean?

---

Replace with "ninjas" or, if it's meant in a derogatory way, "ninjer" with a hard R. Problem solved, you're welcome

---

are whites even allowed to have an opinion on this

No, just replace every occurrence of ninja with the n-word. Even exchange.

because you can totally say ninja just as fast as n**** rite

Of course it's not "wrong", but if you're out in public while singing aloud to rap music for some god forsaken reason, having a little decorum wouldn't hurt.

Don't think you're allowed to even censor it like that

use the H-word instead, just because.

Acting as though it is up to individual artists to decide if they want you saying the n-word is a huge cop out. You have the ability to decide which words come out of your mouth

MachineJaipur posted...

Depends on if it's a hard -er or not

I mean if theres any song that exists with this in it, it is probably some neo-nazi song, so yeah

---

What the hell. How did so many people vote no? Somebody's alts got a work out today.

---

Inherently wrong? No
Inadvisable? Yes

Tamale by Tyler The Creator says it and I'm almost positive it isn't the only song by him that says it

I put it to Only 1 Vote per IP as I do with all polls I make on this website

If you want to. No one is gonna drag you out of your house or car for singing along to a song on the radio.

ah weird lol, Ill have to check it out. (not because I want to hear the word, but I like some of his work and am curious of the context in which he uses it)

Its all about fairness and consistency.

if you want your music to be ONLY purchased and listened to by a specific audience, in this case black people, be up front and honest about it.

imagine if the weekend had launched his records with a serious warning saying: I only want black people to buy my music. Crazy, right?

why do I bring this up? Listen to starboy. He goes like every time a ____ try to
test me, ha! Every time a _____ try to (I forgot), im a mother fucking starboy!

i think his song rocks. But I cant sing his song? What kind of bullshit is that? Am I really expected to close my mouth and hum during those parts?

If anything this racializes music. I only buy songs from (insert ethnicity here) artists because I am like them.
