Just because I grew up a white guy in America doesn't mean that's the music of my life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I see myself as a hip-hop artist, but I never wanted to make music for a specifically white audience. That's not what I grew up around.
I think America concedes that true American music has sprung from the Negro.
American music culture is black culture.
I don't think I'm really so unique. If every black person looked at their life they would quickly discover that they have been influenced by every type of music prevalent in America.
Society wants to categorize everything, but to me it's all African-American music.
Country music originates with the colloquial, rural aspects of white America. It's really, truly, rural white America's blues.
A whole generation of young whites have involved themselves with traditional Negro music.
Since the age of 12, all my musical thinking has been influenced by Afro-American music.
English music is white - it evades everything.
I think music is one of the hero/sheroes of the African-American existence.
