ok mate ...i'm 54 ....i get what you mean ....i had loads of black mates in Brighton and Worthing in the early 80's ....blues do's in Montpellier place ....?? Loved rap as it was back then ....gansta rap is just pony in my opinion....rubbish.
they have carte blanche to use the term , we don't , it's their thing not ours .....i think you said before you had been to the states so you should know what i mean .
it is an Americanism.....let it remain so. Although NWA , Public Enemy , Cypress Hill , Snoop seemed to get by without it's wholesale use in their material ....gangsta rap is where it finds it's home , you need to have spent some time in the good ol' US of A to appreciate where it finds its roots.

what a pathetic attempt to get "down" by the FA ......hypocritical , wokist , numptery.......i not that the official "ENGLISH" beer for the Euros is ahem Bud Lite....:facepalm:
