the n word in rap/hiphop lyrics?

Question

people, i been thinking... Now I dont do that a lot. But here i is...

most black people gets offended when a caucasion says the n-word.
that means most black hiphop acts get offended ... well you know what I mean.
Yet the likes of jay-zs (i'm a stan) T.Is, Lil waynes feel they are entitle to say whatever the **** they wanna say in theire lyrics and I agree with them (y'all with me so far)
However the audiences of these cats is in part white youth.
Now when those youngn'z cop hiphop CDs and are jamming to them in their cars to the hot new Roc Boys and they are reciting the lyrics and they come to the line that says
"Thanks to the lames, ****** with bad aim", when they go to hiphop concerts when the crowd is rocking and screaming "Wuts my muhfukking name? Jigga!!! And who I'm rollin with huh?
My ****** !!!! what are they to do? MUTE those lines? chant in chorus?

Answer 1

at a concert reciting a rapper who u likes lyrics is not offensive....

in the heat of an argument, or any other kind of altercation, calling a minority a n*ggeR..is a totally different story

Answer 2

First of all lyrics ain't the bright side of metal and rock genres and sub-genres. Rock/metal songs usually consists of 2-3 short verses about women and beer with a refrain in betweens. It's the presentment of the lyrics is what you people actually are hooked on. All the guitar solos, screaming and growling and ****... Hiphop has a more monotonic, rythmic sound, since the beats usually has some type of loop in them. Therefore it has to compensate on lyrics, and it does. Hip-hop has way more complex rhyming schemes, way more text and a wider variety of topics. So STFU since you're too ignorant on this topic.

Answer 3

well i was at the concert in NY for Jay-z's American gangster. and yes it was a bunch of white people there reciting those exact same lyrics word for word. did i get offended? no. why would i. its like a reading a book and you come across the word you not gonna skip over it. why? because its apart of the project. now if they would step outside and refer to any black person as a *****. there would be problems. its not the song you were rappin you said it to get a reaction. we are adults not babies you know what is right and what is wrong. if i say my ***** is actin funny what would you think? you think i'm talking about a woman when in all actual i'm referring to my k-9. but the way i would use it you can assume i using it in a derogatory way. we all in a concert seeing the same artist and respecting his writing abilities. i know why he says it. that how people like us grew up. but as white America becomes ad-vet listeners of hip-hop they grown to love and respect the culture. we grant that pass because they are still human and can feel the same energy we feel when we hear the song. why stop my essence to confront the white guy when he groovin just like me. its all harmony. but outside of that harmony could be deadly if used wrong.....

Answer 4

People do get offended. But now its not so much. Within everyone's close circle its someone who isn't black. wether they be filipino, white or whatever its just relaxed. If they say the n word its like whatever no one pays it any attention. People try to put a front and get all offended if they are in public and someone uses the n word.

Answer 5

Nowadays, it's not meant in an offensive way, but just another way of saying "Wassup?". It is kind of funny (and annoying) when white people pronounce it with the R at the end. Then it sounds a little racist. Sometimes it's just the black people that make too big a deal of it.

Answer 6

If Dog the Bounty Hunter can say it... so can rappers.

Answer 7
