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. ;)
-

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.
-
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.
-
Same here...My friend was like "Crooked I" sucks (even though he never heard a single song frum him) when I said he's my favoruite lyricist...(Even though Xzibit is, I just wanna shock him)
-
I am white an go to a school 85 % white. The kids that listen to hard rock an punk call me a wigger an always saying the N word around me an talkin ebonics an shit even though i talk in proper english i do say slang but they act like i talk like a rapper i dont get pissed but at times its annoying. I wanted to kick my friends ass after he said if PAC was still alive he would kill him an he said GIN & jUICE an NUTHIN BUT A "g" THANG were the worst songs ever .
-
man, i live in an all white community. every single day i c white people and Asianz. it'z rare that i c Mexicanz (i'm Mexican) or Black people. tha only Mexicanz i ever c r more white than tha Whites r. i never here nething like "rap iz crap", except 1 time. my friend wuz all, "u like that rap crap, huh?" i juss said, "if it aint rap then u know it'z crap". that'z all i've done so far. and 4 tha people that hang around me that didn't like rap at first, well they now listen 2 rap. especially my friend Paul, cept he only knowz tha commercialised rapperz. only rapper that'z dead iz Eazy-E. i got him into that.
all i ever get at my school iz "rap iz scary" now.
-
All the asians here are cool. Half of my friends are asian. They all smoke weed and listen to the same rap I do. If it weren't for them I would go crazy.

opposite over here
I DO NOT LIVE IN THE GHETTO, REPEAT I DO NOT LIVE IN THE GHETTO buuuuuuuut.....
somehow the school system always buses me to the most ghettoist schools where 71% of the kids there are dirty wet back i'm like 1 or only 20 or so clean mexicans there than theres like 20% blacks, and whites and arabians are the minorities...so basically every one listened to rap during kingergarden -8th grade basically, sure i probably only like rap cuz i grew up around (i'm greatful no doubt) but i also liked Rock N Roll and i was ALWAYS ridiculed by all my friends and peers for holding a 2pac cd in one hand and a Nirvana or KoRn cd in the other...it wasn't BAD like the stuff that would make me run home cryin' or come to school and kill evry one, naw it was more like a nusance , even though i don't like Limp Bizkit i'm greatful they made it Ok to like both rap and rock....
-
man i get everyone makin' fun of me cause i like rap, even some of my family members make fun of me .... but its all good im used to it,,,, i dont really care.
-
Man when I was in School not too many listened to rap. Sure they make some would say some shit to me but i was like fuck you cuz i don't give a fuck what others say bout me. Back in School all my peeps called me Snoop and still to this day same wit some of there parents do to hehehe
Even to day some say some shit cuz i lisen to rap, some say i only listen to cuz everyone else does.... Well fuck that I got listening to rap back in 93 "Doggystyle" came out and the next day i went out and bout the album my next was "The Chronic" So how tha fuck can they say that cuz at that time not to may knew what rap was around here. But i say Fuck Them!!!

8) What's Crackin' 8)
Damn, this shit is funny! I'm Mexican frum Southern Cali so I was raised around all kinds of Races... at school I would hang with other Mexicans though... not a racist thing, you just get along more with people you can relate too. I aint a hip hop head but I do only listen to rap....West Coast Gangsta Rap, that's my thing, and even some Chicano Rap which I know alot of you dont like and will probably talk shit but I dig some of it so it bumps in my ride 8)
Yeah, when I was going to school there was all kinds of crowds, Mexican's (wetbacks & chicanos), Blacks listen to rap and R&B, Skaters (wiggers to us) listened to that Metal Rap shit, and then there's tha normal muthafuckers who listen to tha comercial shit that's on MTV everyday....
Some people would talk shit about what you listened to or who you kicked it with but it wouldnt really matter.... only people i took serious were tha people in my crowd who were down with what I liked..... cuz bottom line, whoever talks shit about something they know nothin about dont really have no say
Peace Out... 8)

man....
back in the day when i was livin in new york i was the biggest rap head on my block...but i used to get a lil stick off the older cats for strollin through the hood bumpin that west coast shit!!!
then once i moved to london everything switched up on me....living in Brixton rap or black music in general is a huge part of the culture (just like ny) but, when i first came here the uk didnt really have big rap groups of their own to idolise so they idolised the american cats.
so when i moved into the block peeps were lik "oh wow your from manhattan!"
and everyone wanted to roll with me...after a while though everybody realised it wasnt no thing and all was cool....

ROUND OUR WAY EVERYONE LOVES HIP HOP AND WERE ALL QUITE IN TO UK GARAGE 8)

Man, What It All Comes Down To Is, Don't WORRY About What Other People Think, It Really Doesn't Matter, They're Nothing To You.

Yeah I know what some of yall be sayin. It's not easy for me either. Its like this:
I started my youth education last year, and I came directly from a public school, and there I had a lot of friends who were into hiphop, but then I start the y.u. and theres a lot of people who listen to Dance, rock funk etc., but im the only one who listens to rap, and they be sorta hatin cuz they dont understand hiphop-culture and shit. Ignorant azzed muthafuckas!
-
at my school, i'd say almost all the guys like Rap, some liking the more Punk-Rap crap like Limp Bizkit... but for the most part Rap is the dominant genre for the guys... i'd have to say the ones everyone loves is Eminem, Dre, Snoop, Nelly, and a few like DMX...
Out of the ones i mentioned, i only like Dre & Snoop... and i'm the ONLY one that has their earlier albums in the whole school... i have all their albums, most of em just got 2001, Last Meal, and Top Dogg... i like Daz, Kurupt, Snoop, Warren G, Bad Azz, 2PAC, Xzibit, Ras Kass, and basicly the whole Westcoast scene... most of em say "who the fuck are these guys?" i mean they know 2pac and Xzibit... but as for Daz, Bad Azz, Kurupt, they don't got a fucking clue who those guys are. I got a few of my homies into the whole West, but most of them are way too ignorant to try something new, so they just stick to their Dre's and Snoop's... its their loss really, i don't get made fun of or critisized... no one got the balls to critisize me.

I dont really gte made fun of for liking rap, but my dad does by my mom...She thinks it's teenager musi, but I feel sorry for my dad, cuz he's embarassed to like rap..
