Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Although hip hop is a primarily music oriented culture, the political significance of race sometimes comes into play, with accusations of cultural appropriation against non-Black typically white and Asian performers, and charges of racism and self-stereotyping against black performers. By the United States 2000 Census, three quarters of the United States'' population is white, while one eighth is black. However, most mainstream rappers in the United States are black. Some believe this discrepancy is a good thing; popular rapper Kanye West has said: "I hate music where white people are trying to sound black. The white music I like is white". Other artists reject such distinctions and argue that it''s absurd to racially segregate music four decades after the civil rights movement.
