"A white rapper cannot be considered a white rapper until he rips in front of a crowd of black people. I am not saying they all have to be black. You can have some spanish, some multi-racial kids mixed in there for flavor, I would even say Asian people. But if you are a white rapper that performs in front of a white crowd then you are not a rapper at all. You are a guy who is simulating what it feels like to rock a crowd. And I might go as far as to say that even if an all white crowd shows love to a white rapper and there is no black people in that crowd, he did not rock that crowd. White people will usually applaud anyone who has the balls to step on stage. I have seen tremendously wack rappers get in front of white people and becasue they heard a few words that rhymed, gave them love. To be a white rapper you must rip in front of a black person so hard that the black person leaves the show and says "That White boy ripped that shit!" Now you are a white rapper. You have gotten approval from the people that started and built this culture."
That's an excerpt of a MySpace blog entry by MC Serch. The second last paragraph puts his words in perspective.

Some of this, well most of this as I am sure you know is tongue-in-cheek but lets be real. If a brother or sister don't give you the thumbs up, then you are faking the funk on way too many levels and its time you went back to wall street or college or the bowling alley or the Klan meeting. White Rappers, dont call your self white rappers until a black person calls you it first. And trust me when a black crowd shows you love, you rise above all other white rapper into the sphere of being just a plain old rapper. And probably a great one at that.
