we used to call each other the n word, stupid I know, but we had no idea at the time it was wrong, we were kids trying to be cool

Eh, in that respect, that's one of the few positive things to come out of this cultural appropriation/things made by my race are off limits to whitey nonsense.

There's nothing more pathetic, IMO, than a suburban kids (of any race) trying to act ghetto/gangsta. It's not 'wrong,' just fucking stupid. And rap, by and large, is utter garbage. There are a few diamonds in the rough, obviously, but as a body of work it's even more creatively bankrupt than modern pop.
