well, I certainly don't want to let anyone down!
but what else to call it?
there's always somebody who fits that bill; be it: snow, vanilla ice, insane clown posse or whoever. white people have been repackaging black music for ages. this isn't something new. m&m's nasally voice just happens to resonate well with the "white, male, under 18 and living in the 'burbs" crowd.
as soon as my (then) 13 year-old brother-in-law brought eminem's first album to my attention, I knew it wasn't going to be for me (dr. dre or not).
and there's no slightly racist about it. I hate white people. hate them BAD.
