I knew someone would have something to say about that.  The truth is, before black people started wearing sports merchandise as clothing it was seen as something for dorky white guys (no shots fired - white guys who are dorky, not all of them) to wear.  You can trace that all the way back to the 80s when rappers were the only ones wearing sports gear for teams they didn't really care about.

A good amount of the kids in New York had their roots in the Caribbean, yes, but the fact remains that rap was started in The United States and many of the MCs back in its infancy were black American.  And I've never heard or seen anything supporting your first two points.

Autotune
"Remixing" of songs
Jazz music
Blues music
Hip Hop music

Those are off the top of my head, there's actually a ton more. People like to emulate various aspects of black culture which is ok to me but when they don't acknowledge that whatever trend they are emulating was started by black people is when I'm annoyed.

Rock music as well.

So I suppose the skinny jeans fad has always been a black thing?

Edit: I also remember dudes bashing Jim Jones for dressing like a 'rocker,' but when Weezy did it I didn't hear anything negative.

LOL and you think I'm trying to take shots.

Most people don't expose themselves to their little niche/circle, so its harder for them to see the bigger picture.
