One thing I have always wanted to do is to go to a real good rap concert, recently I found out Ice Cube, Snoop and Bone Thugs are coming for some MTV show.
Well the first two I could give or take but I would like to see bone thugs as its the first time they have had their full line up in like 8 years with flesh bone finally out of jail. Only problem is, rap concerts often appear to be hit or miss, I don't want to go and see them lip syncing the words and only singing the hook (seems to happen at alot of hiphop concerts) also probably the second problem is I am a non gangsta white person, I will be going with one other friend but I know there are some really big maoris around and it might be a) very scary b) awkward as fuck for me. Honestly, I've been to several clubs where people have tried to fight me for similar reasons!
I love hiphop and I will know all the words but I don't dress or act like a wigger in the slightest and I would prefer not to do die. Its my 21st comin up and I can probably get a ticket to this as a present.
So tell me two things, A) Do you think I will die if I go B) What has your experience been with rap concerts?
k
here are some awesome songs i hope they perform properly
so far i have a feeling it will be poo if i go, also in other news i am probably going to be seeing neil young/pearl jam live
-
"wigger"
-
dont be afraid of black people
-
You obviously don't know what it is like! (im going with a black person and i know a few other black people going but i fear the scary GANGSTAZ who will be there)
-

i got a gun pulled on me cuz i was white in the wrong neighborhood at night while visiting Louisiana shortly after Katrina but he called me "nigga" tho, so I think that means we're cool
-
So should I go hmmmmmm......
What rap concerts have people gone to? I've seen so many live performances that are just lip syncing ugh

i saw dead prez before and that was great, i also saw public enemy, blue scholars, wu tang(minus dirt dogg RIP), Nas and kanye west
they were all good except kanye, he never finished a single song, he'd stop and talk about stuff he's doing with other artists, play some parts of his favorite "joints", and he changed his clothes like 4 times no shit
-
hey how were blue scholars live? i kinda forgot about them but i only have their self-titled. is their mc still completely unexceptional?
-
NICE NICE NICE
surely dead prez would have been a dangerous/thuglife crowd!!!!!
one of their main themes is:
Racial animosity Racial animosity Racial animosity Racial animosity Racial animosity
Panda do you think I should go?
-

Yeah right
-
Well if I did then I wouldn't be scared of going would I?
-
Show us a pic

afuras afraid of the black man. pass it on.

are there even any black people in New Zealand or do the Maori function as your black people
which is a shitty question to ask cause I thought New Zealanders and the Maori got along great (as in like you guys had/have a Maori president or something)
-
I can safely say I was never racist in the slightest.
However, I would - in a heartbeat - cross the street to avoid a bunch of black thugs.
I don't consider this racism... I consider it self-preservation. What are you, loco? Just play it safe, don't go.

I had the impression that the maori in NZ were kinda in the same situation as the aborigines in Australia. racism is like a joke over there, it's not really a serious subject at all compared to america

well I'll be darned!! thefataussiebarstard removed his videos about them fucken aborigines/fuckin black fellows.
-
just go dude.
EDIT: I'm kidding, don't go.
-

their second album is a lil better IMO and the MC isn't remarkable but they're a lot of fun and he spits some positive rhymes so i like them

i live in the NW USA, there was quite a bit of white people there. They seem to be more about their politics than yellin' about crackers so it wasn't that awkward.
-
I don't really think racism is bad or anything here but its like if I went to a predominantly black gangsta club I would kind of be drawing attention to myself and asking for it. I don't know how to explain it perfectly but it is not a racist thing on my behalf, its just facts of life! I still might go though, I haven't quite decided. I don't know how good BTNH will be live.

they function as our black people i guess, although obviously its not as bad as America it still exists! And no we have never had a Maori president and their language is almost dead.
I get along great with most Maori but there is still a divide in society, we also have a big pacific island community.
-
I get it, I know there are places where it's dangerous to be if you're white and don't dress like a gangsta. I think you'd be safe at a concert tho if you're just there enjoying yourself. it's a concert, it's not like any real thugs will be there. maybe some people who try to act like thugs.
-
no i definitely think you should go, but don't listen to render okay because he is just completely off the mark. real thugs attend concerts, especially gangsta rap concerts. i do not know about NEW ZEALAND RACIAL CLIMATES but yeah, in the states at least, thugs would fucking flock to a snoop concert and that shit could be legitimately dangerous, especially for a white dude. but i'm still saying you should go, because POSSIBLE DANGER!!! is a silly reason to miss something like that, and ultimately i think the risk is worth it. these can be really memorable experiences, and for me at least, i usually regret things i didn't do for whatever reason a lot more than things i did but later thought i shouldn't have.
-
Afura, remember in Batman Begins when Bruce Wayne went into the bat cave and let all the bats surround him to conquer his fear...?
Well this is just like that. You need to conquer your fear.
-
a good compromise would be to go in blackface

Yeah basically this, I don't want to go and be too scared to scream "t.h.u.g we be, thats thug mentality".

Thugs that can afford it will probably go so it will be a stadium full, but I think you are probably right, I usually go to clubs filled with black people and it's semi dangerous I guess but I love the music so I don't usually care plus it will be probably worth the small increase in danger. Now I just gotta think whether I think they will be good enough live to pay for and bother seeing

Ahahah funny because we were just watching this on TV, I'm actually surprised that no dickheads actually came in here trying to tell me I am racist, even though I'll be going with black people!
I'm pretty sure you have seen photos of me strangeluv but I don't mind uploading one..?

next time dead prez come to your city i dare you to do this either that or go as a white guy in suit or a police uniform
-

I've got black friends too
jokes bro we're cool we're cool
-
i saw snoop dogg live once

the thugs in scandinavia generally aren't black but pakkis so it's cool

REAL hoods?? I just can't see that. guys that try to be tough, sure
only hip/hop dudes I saw in concert were Jurassic 5 tho so iguess I wouldn't know.
-
render do you just think real legitimate thugs dont like gangsta rap or never attend concerts or what??
-
I'm sure they listen to it and go to clubs, but I dunno going out of your way to go to a concert seems a bit much. organised mainstream concerts are kinda gay comparatively
why you got ants all up in your pants bro? just calm down. neither of us really want to do this.
-
what is THIS. i'm not trying to START A FORMAL DEBATE here at all and neither of my posts have really been antagonistic, it just strikes me as kind of a naive misconception on your part that no actual hoodrats go to concerts. they really do, man! and also maybe you should not take every post directed towards you as an attempt to argue//make you look stupid??
-
i was trying to post like somthing to do with this thread
-
get it? jeez louise, you gotta learn how to chill. but don't sweat it bro, I'm not judging.
-
hahaha okay you are just trollin now
render you so ornery lol
-
I like that I can be really confused and have no idea whats going on and people will think I'm doing it on purpose. thats how you know you're going somewhere in life.
-

That would forever ruin my dream of one day meeting them and becoming their white homie and getting a ton of street cred like those white dudes who were cool with and hung out at the black panther organizing centers in the 60's
-
be careful afura! I heard all black people were criminals. I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU!
-
That concert would probably be good. Ice Cube was down here last year and he apparently rocked but I didn't go so who knows.
I mainly go to see local hip hop, I can't remember the last time I went to a 'BIG CONCERT' and I usually prefer clubs/bars as venues (all the big international acts will take arenas or whatev usually).
But yeah go to this
