Game On a Nation: Hip Hop Intellectual

This may seem disorganized and maybe ill conceived but it is a stream of consciousness that just came out:

This is a serious question. Is it racist that I am just not in to the sound and flow of white MC's?

I'm serious. Is this some sort of internalized racism, some fetishization of African Americans that somehow takes the authenticity or "cool" out of hip-hop when the MC's are white? When I listen to hip-hop am I somehow participating in some modern day, mainstream, widely acceptable version of tossing pennies to black kids skiffling on street corners in early 20th century; Expecting a, "thank yuh sir, can I do another dance for ya?"(Trying to Channel Dave Chappelles impression of a skiffling Uncle Tom).

Perhaps it is that these white rappers try too hard to not come across as what some unfortunate minds would deem a "wigger", and this is what takes the authenticity out of these MC's.

How do attitudes about race play out for the MC's themselves? Is it impossible to seem "authentic" as a white man in a black man's game? Is it coincidence that Asher's big debut to the mainstream is a song about college and beer pong, two activities that seem pretty darn white when juxtaposed with mainstream hip-hop culture? IS he trying to play up his "whiteness" in an effort to disassociate himself from the "wigger" image in an effort to NOT seem racist or inauthentic?

A repsonse would be appreciated...after all this is the blog for Hip-Hop intellectuals...
