One-time Biggie collaborator R.A. says "this is who I be" and "I'm sticking to shit I'm livin'" and I don't doubt it. R.A. would say that his whiteness and his nonconformity has something to do with his inability to become more successful. The music is self-centered, self-loathing, myopic hip hop - the same ingredients for another white hip hop boy - the clown Eminem. So why is Eminem a money-ed star and R.A. still cruising the underground? R.A. says he won't bow to the "white boy needs a black boy to win" biz mentality. And I'd say Eminem without Dr. Dre would be even more unlistenable without Dre's skills adding a little sex to Eminem's catchy, bitchy, sexless whining.

So blues and jazz were both huge cultural and musical changes yeah? Rock n' Roll too. And most recently Hip Hop which is still working its shit out. All black American creations by the way - later to be changed and morphed by folks of all different races and nationalities. Does the future hold yet another seismic musical creation like those others? What will Hip Hop turn into next?
