Thread: White people can't use Black slang unless it's played out - Kanye West

what pisses me off about his statement, is that it makes the assumption that the english language is a black language!!!!! and that white people need to wait to speak there own language!!

Fuck that. How are you going to call someone rasist and then say white people can't say certain words. I have one thing to say to that...nigger.

Remember boys and girls: it's only racist if you're white.

I think Kanye West is the bees-knees.

Slang can not be tracked down to who started it so how can it be restricted to a certain race?

Like right now every rap song you hear they talk about the candy paint on their whip. They overuse terms to the extent they end up in our general language eventually, but the thing is none of the words are new. Candy paint likely derived from a candy apple red paint job.

Bitches may or may not have originated from the trailer park or vet school.

Aw heres one, playa (player). Became popular in much of the rap jargon, but that word is ancient. Hell it's even in an old Fleetwood Mac song so who's gankin' whose style?

Kanye West is acting like rappers are inventing a new language or something when most of what they're doing is using a certain expression so repetitively that it can't help but get absorbed into our everyday lingo. If they don't want anyone else using "their slang" then don't use it in every damn song for weeks on end be original and come up with a more descriptive metaphor or analogy. Would Stephen King be able to sell books if he used the same metaphors, analogies and similes in all of his books? So Kanye should be glad the rap customer base accepts being bombarded with the same lame shit for over a year, right about when it gets "played out".


Wait that explains why he doesn't want "white folks" using the words too soon then that means he and his cronies have to think up new catchy slangs to describe their treasures like their whips, kicks and dookie rope chains and that requires more thought and creativity.
