If I am a white female is it inappropriate for me to be singing along to rap songs?

Question

in other words do i look like a damn fool? Cuz sometimes when I know a song real well and I like it I will rap along....but SOME people look at me like I am crazy. Plus i had this dumb beeotch say that she thought i was tryn to impress the black dudes.LOL. You think guys really think like that?

Answer 1

Yes, unfortunately you probably look like a "damn fool", which is your right to do so.

What I don't understand is what it is that you find so appealing about rap, especially being a woman.

Answer 2

Stupid guys may well think that, but fortunately not all men are idiots.

If you're good at it, there's no reason that you shouldn't. Take into consideration that people may not actually be looking at you like you're crazy, but may actually be impressed that you can do it. Rapping is easy, but rapping well is damn nigh impossible.

Even if you're not good at it, if you enjoy it, that's all that really matters. No one worth knowing is going to judge you harshly for getting into the music. From a musicians perspective, I'm always flattered when people sing my songs, regardless of how foolish they may look doing it. And frankly, I've heard a few people sing them better than I do.

Short answer is...keep doing your thing.

Answer 3

There's nothing wrong with you liking rap music. White people have actually invested more in the rap industry than Blacks for many many years. If you feel like singing along, you should make sure it's because you just wanna sing and join in, not because you're trying to get attention. It's about being real, being yourself.

Answer 4

Girl, be yourself. If you want to rap, rap. Bump other people, don't matter what they say. I'm a white girl, and trust me, I bump 2pac, Jay-z, or whatever I feel liking singing along to! I get crazy looks too, but I don't care. I like what I like. Enjoy it, and ignore people like her.

Answer 5

i think it is. I think it looks stupid for anybody to be singing along to a rap song for that matter. Especially with all the language. If you think you are cool, then i guess you can do what you want.

Answer 6

Who the hell cares what other people think. If singing along with different type of music makes you happy then do it. Society has too many stereotypes out there.

Answer 7

SWEETY IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK ONLY WHAT YOU THINK. I AM WHITE FEMALE ASWELL. I CATCH HELL ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I LIKE RAP AND OTHER MUSIC ASWELL.IF YOU KNOW THAT YOUR NOT DOING IT JUST TO IMPRESS ANYONE THEN DO IT. IF THATS WHAT YOU LIKE F**K THE REST OF THEM.BABY BE YOUR SELF NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS SAY.AND IF THAT WAS A FRIEND THAT TOLD YOU THAT THEN MAYBE YOU NEED A NEW FRIEND.

Answer 8

you sing what you like, do what floats your boat and dont worry about jealous folks. im a black female and i sing some of the wildest songs...i like aerosmith, soul asylum, creed, nickelback, three doors down, hoobastank!! i even play it loud in the car, riding through the hood. you should never care what people think about you, as long as you carry yourself well.

Answer 9

You can do whatever you'd like. If you like it, do it for yourself and for those who support you. Those who don't appreciate what you do can just leave. That's what I say. I mean it's not like you're infringing on someone's rights or something. Go right ahead.
