Different Meaning of "Mainstream" Hip-Hop to Black and White People?
I found this video very interesting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62WTAzM3TZQ&feature=g-high-rec), where it essentially says that the target audience for white rappers are college kids, while those of black rappers are anyone but college kids. What do you guys think?

I feel that some rap music (not all, of course) perfectly encompasses the lifestyle of a college student, which is obviously partying, getting drunk, and one-night stands. Only makes sense for these college students to listen to the music that explains the actions they will commit, and if the the rappers are making absurd amounts of money off of it, why should anyone particularly care? As more and more people are going to college recently, the music will just be exacerbated in popularity.
