  The sad part is, half of those rap album sales were more then likely whites. I can't see why whites would ever buy such crap. Like for instance, my ex roomate loved Chris Rock. I watched him live once, I heard the word, CRACKER at least 45 times. How is that cool, hip, or funny to a white?   Here in the UK, the majority of rap fans seem to be from the white middle classes. It's a popular trend. I find the lyrics asinine and distasteful myself.
