It is NEVER Open Mike Night at the SDMB. Nor is it “Advertise for Free” day. If you have a genuine complaint, then go ahead and pit it. Do not attempt to build up an audience on this message board. Lynn For the Straight Dope ---

I’m thinking that it isn’t because you’re white… it’s because you don’t know how to pick a target audience. Trying to sell your own rap on a site like this is a prime example. ---

Word, brother. As another white rapper trying to get _his_ career off the ground, I just think it’s a huge shame that a nation as large and diverse as our own cannot find it in their hearts to accept even a _single_ white rapper over the past two decades of hip-hop. Not a single one of them. No white rapper in this nation has ever achieved a smidgen of respect, commercial success, or critical acclaim. For shame. ---

I tried the rap game, but couldn’t get a hit so I opened up a thread in the BBQ pit It not that my rhymes are weak or my beats are too thin I just know it’s all about the color of my skin No one can convince me, it’s to the contrary that what I really need is a [Ryhme Dictionary](http://www.rhymezone.com/) So now you know what it’s like to see through these eyes I should call Eminem, Vanilla Ice, and the Beastie Boys…and apologize. ---

I don’t know… Third Bass! Dude, if Weird Al can get respect for rapping, anyone can. The trick is to do it straight, from the heart, and from the gut. Don’t front. Don’t pose. And so what if you have to work twice as hard to get respect? It just means that if you have the talent, when you break, you break big. ---

Personally, were I the OP, I might aim more at simply being a “rapper”. If the colour of your skin comes before your presumed occupation as a rapper even in YOUR head, you can’t be that good at it. ---
