but yeah some white rappers are good... atmosphere... aesop rock and those dudes, but other than 'hip hop heads' they aren't known or respected. They have their own lane or did at one point and go with it. I listened to all that shit, but growing up people who I was around would be like wtf is that. I heard about it on here.. no one I knew listened to it and when i'd play it they'd be like nahh.

But regaurdless I think white rappers don't have it too easy, you could say Em.. but he was an exception, and a lot of the dudes I grew up with and stuff wasnt even listening to eminem at all. I did, but I was an exception.

So yeah the truth is white rappers have a hard road unless they get like a niche market or whatever like atmosphere/aesop/brother ali... or some total weird niche shit like ICP or something.

Although back in the day who was the main buyers of rap music, it was middle class to upper middle class white people buying CD's. And they don't want to see someone who looks like them... they want to see/hear something they aren't used to hearing, some ghetto black dude or at least someone pretending to be a ghetto black dude.

I cant say im very active these days but like to write some now and then.
Did you write there?

Not much. I wrote a little but was more interested in the trolling aspects or topical tourneys with exceptions for certain threads and discussions. I battled a little bit but not much. I remember Tannfeen, Bubba Mo, Jørn Jeezy and a few others. I felt there was a lot of elitism going on so I gave a shit tbh, when I wanted to get more serious the Homer controversy with newspapers and police getting involved it seemed to be the straw that broke the camels back, and hh.no died pretty quickly after that. Wish there were some sort of warning, a lot of sick texts and work got deleted just like that.

I hate the "I'm bored today"-persona I had on that site now, lol. But if you remember an annoying brat called Kringle saying shit for that purpose alone at times that would be me, wouldn't be surprised if you don't cus I wasn't that active and joined around 05. What was your name over there?

Fuck yeah, @Concrete! I'd love to read them! I bet the guys over at the Norwegian HipHop Discord or the fb group would get a kick out of it as well. Always got inspired to write some in Norwegian when I checked that stuff out. Lurk (remember I battled him and that was how I learned "Lurk" is an English word cus I tried to rhyme it with Skurk, young and stupid, lol) and Atil were beasts, the other names ring a bell but can't place them. Amusing for sure, the jokes were good times. I guess that's why I settled here as well, text section is serious stuff, people don't fuck around with votes and feedback is on point. Disc here is basically Generhelt pt.2, lol.
