Are White Boys Guests in Hip-Hop? | Ep.34 | Pop the Trunk with Vinnie Paz
The guys tackle whether white boys are guests in hip-hop, and the answer is more uncomfortable than yes or no. It starts at the roots: rock and roll, doo-wop, the Great Migration, and who was actually in the room when this culture was built. They talk about the kids who wore the gear and borrowed the slang, then grew out of it. They cover the ones who swapped rap for pickup-truck country, and the self-proclaimed heads whose top five doesn't include a single Black MC. Plus a birthday, a brewery wrestling show, and a long-overdue reckoning with rap's biggest culture vulture.
