[lee]

he he .... OK I was in work the other day and me and my co-workers were talking bout' music, anyway they ask me what sorta music i liked and i said rap ... and they were all like "er... ok" then they asked me who i liked best and i said i liked Snoop Dogg ... About 4 people burst out laughing and were like "u like Snoop Doggy Dogg? Ha Ha!!"
I was completely in shock I didn't realise it was so funny to be into this, I mean its really popular!!! Then came the most embassing thing of all .... I work in a cafe.. a BIG cafe where theres must have been say bout' 200 customers and bout 24 staff and these idiots who i had been talking to earlyer screamed at the top of there voices all together as i walked passed Pointing at Me !!!! "SNOOP DOGGY DOGGGGGG!!!!" (from whats my name) Everyone in the place just was like staring at me !! Man, I didn't know where to look.... And em, my nickname at work now is offical Snoop.

Yeah i live in a 50/50 black n white area, but i go to a predominently white college and they aint got no love for rap or black culture, when i say i listen to rap they all give it, you like DMX or Eminem, when i say no they say im hardly a rap fan.

But its cool im white and i can see they just garage bumpin townies.    

[Rud]

[Mr_Loc]

Yup I used to get shit like this, Im from the UK too (hmm seems to be a pattern here - perhaps because there are so many small minded people here?)

but shit i dont let it fade me, i just ask right back 'whut type of music u like?' and when the reply is house/garage/pop etc i can laugh right back. u cant speak on music when u like that retarded shit.

also i learned not to say snoop or dre first when people ask fav artists. If you begin with Daz, Kurupt, C-Bo, etc (people who arent on mtv everyday) mu-funkas dont trip

Get This the people who were slagging me were dedicated WESTLIFE fans!!!!  And thats pathctic seen as they were all aged between 16 - 24

Down here there are alot of peeps into Linkin Park and other stuff. At my school I always got peeps who scream out "Rap is crap" and other gay shit. I just ignore them. And since no one like rap here they always have the albums I want in record stores so its all good.

[Top-Dogg2001]

Living in Philly, Everyone likes rap. However I get made fun at for like people like the dilated peoples, talib kweli, mos def, and shit. Most teenagers around my way and school aren't on my level and show there ignorance. most teenagers around my way and my school like that commercial stuff and don't know any better so they laugh at me.
