[QUOTE=threemae] 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. [/QUOTE] Not even Deborah Harry? d&r ---

[QUOTE=Lynn Bodoni] You have a flow, all right. Same kind of flow I get when I eat bad food. I suggest that you pay attention to your high school lessons. Not only do you have problems with spelling, grammar, and composition, but you seem to be misinformed about freedom of speech. Here’s a hint: the SDMB is NOT a government agency or branch of the government. Before you post anything else, I require you to compose an essay about freedom of speech, and where it applies, and where it DOESN’T apply, and why. Lynn Bodoni Administrator For the Straight Dope [/QUOTE] Nice. Has a beat, and I can dance to it. 10/10. 😃 Remind me not to piss off Lynn… ---

[QUOTE=Marlitharn] Emperor Palpatine is a rapper now? [/QUOTE] The force is strong with this one. Indeed, he would make a powerful ally. Perhaps we should convert him to the Dope Side. (on second thought, can we just make fun of him relentlessly?) ---

[QUOTE=Hammer1Man] chill out wit the spell check… so I spelled discrimination wrong, so what… look at the name of this site: straight dope… thats broken english too… so why must i spell correctly in a damned website forum… i think most of you guys hate on me cus i am white and I happen to rap… and whoever that lynn lady is… she is the number 1 hater… she sensored (spelled wrong?) my rap. HATER. she should feel blessed that i flowed on this forum… nothing else to do besides censor post? Freedom of speech… uh oh, i feel a flow coming on: hey yo check it, never open mike nite? why? because i am white. and that aint rite. i kicks the free style wherever “white sun” aka trevor. I am Lyn’s dream…when i get rich she gonna be on my team. no more censoring posts. Force feed lynn some apple juice and toast… now thats str8 dope. forgive my broken english i aint no genius… nerds worried bout my spelling while i am chilling and jellin’… ## ewww thats sick right. dont copy my dope rhymes…they copyrighted stay outta my profile [/QUOTE] Black or white, poor writing is no excuse. There will be typos and mispellings in any internet forum, but you intentionally do it, either by lack of skill or by design. Heres a hint…if you allow yourself to look like an ignorant fool, people will treat as such, even if you’re really a rocket scientist. I can’t speak for the entire black community, but no one I know speaks like that. But then most people I know have higher aspirations than “The thug life”. I’m seriously hoping you’re just a troll. The world has enugh lame crap in it. One more person glorifying ignorance is something we can do without. ---

[QUOTE=astro] Don’t be discouraged, follow your muse. I know your [mother](http://www.wtsh.de/wtsh/de/ueber_uns/team/mitarbeiter/wigger_tanja.php) and[father](http://www.ingd.de/dozenten/wigger.html) are proud of you. [/QUOTE] Y’know, I usually cringe at the term “wigger,” but I gotta say, **astro** , that shit was high-larious! I damn near busted my gut from holding my laughter in. (I’m reading this at work, so I’m trying to maintain \*some \* kind of decorum.) And the rest of you? You guys crack me up, too! I really needed it this morning, so thanks! 😃 Oh, and, **shizaru**? Amen to that, my bruthaaa! 😉 (From another black guy who despises rap music and thug life aspirations.) ---

You go, my homeboy! I also happened to see [your video](http://youtube.com/watch?v=_7ngh3AuGgw) on YouTube! That is is completely very fly, and dope, and there is nary a smidgen of wack in sight. (Note: link not taken from the OP. I missed the original link too.) ---

Thanks **rinni**! Woah, I thought he was a troll - maybe the poster isn’t the rapper in question - but if he’s for real, those videos are amongst the funniest things I’ve ever seen. (Maybe he’s a life troll. I suspect not though.) Oh dear god that’s fucking hilarious. I’m blazin’. No wonder he don’t gets no respect. What’s with the mullet BTW? Is he from the 80s? Next thing: I _really_ want to see him doing some freestlying. ---
