I'm good. If you think Kool Keith didn't put a wig on and a costume and Zev Love X wears a metal gladiator mask with glasses on the outside as MF DOOM or Bobby Digital coming up with a super weed story as to how he transformed, then either you're unaware or being intellectually dishonest.
And as far as Parliament:
During a contractual dispute with Revilot, Clinton temporarily lost the rights to the name "The Parliaments", and signed the ensemble to Westbound Records as Funkadelic, which Clinton positioned as a funk-rock band featuring the five touring musicians with the five Parliaments singers as uncredited guests. With Funkadelic as a recording and touring entity in its own right, in 1970 Clinton relaunched the singing group, now known as Parliament, at first featuring the same ten members. Clinton was now the leader of two different acts, Parliament and Funkadelic, which featured the same members but were marketed as creating two different types of funk.

Kool Keith did the same thing. He's talked about it in interviews. We Tang did something similar.
I'm not trying to sway you. I'm simply saying I disagree. I'm not a broken record because I'm citing different examples every time of why I don't find it corny. I equate your view to someone that stopped liking Andre 3000's music due to his many outlandish outfits or Common's crochet era. If a person's opinion of art is based on the way the artist dresses, that to me is a little silly.
Here's one: Is Kelsey Grammer a culture vulture?
lol @ white people firing back
BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN BLACK GIRLS WEAR INDIAN JEWELRY OR NATIVE AMERICAN HEADDRESSES

the main point most people miss about "culture vultures"
is that
the vulture makes a profit off of features of a culture they are foreign to, which actual members of that culture do not have access to...
FOR EXAMPLE
black girls wearing braids is considered unprofessional
while
white girls wearing braids is the new hot trend.
black girls can't get paid
white girls can.
all this who is real and who is authentic **** has nothing to do with the REAL issue....
if its black its wrong
if its white its amazing.

So now that Rachel Dolwhateva has popped back up on the scene does anyone think we're gonna have more people claiming to be trans-racial? this is a serious question. how long until we have a rapper start off as white & feel he's so intuned with the culture that they turn themselves black? it's 2017 and the way this is going i got til the end of the summer
I put 6ft in my twitter bio. I'm actually 5'8", but if I keep telling myself otherwise and get offended if people don't see me as 6ft, she could probably do the same. I am officially trans-measurement.
Miley Cyrus is preparing to release her first major label studio album since the 2013 hit Bangerz. Speaking with Billboard ahead of the release of the still untitled album's single "Malibu," Cyrus discussed her "rootsy" new music and claimed that she's backed away "a little" from listening to hip-hop due to some of its lyrical subject matter.
Asked by John Norris about the "singer-songwriter-y" vibe of her new album and whether folk singer Melanie Safka (who performed with Cyrus on her Backyard Sessions web series in 2015) had any influence, Cyrus said she did. "But I also love that new Kendrick [Lamar] song ["Humble"]: 'Show me somethin' natural like *** with some stretch marks,'" Cyrus said. "I love that because it's not 'Come sit on my ****, suck on my ****.' I can't listen to that anymore."
Cyrus added: "That's what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much 'Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my ****'—I am so not that." Cyrus' comments on hip-hop have been met with criticism reminiscent of the original claims of appropriation lodged against her work on Bangerz:
In the Billboard interview, Cyrus also addressed the initial controversy surrounding her Bangerz era, including the criticism she received for using black backup dancers at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. "That became a thing, where people said I was taking advantage of black culture, and with [Bangerz collaborator] Mike [WiLL Made-It]—what the ****?" Cyrus said. "That wasn't true. Those were the dancers I liked!"
So now that Rachel Dolwhateva has popped back up on the scene does anyone think we're gonna have more people claiming to be trans-racial? this is a serious question. how long until we have a rapper start off as white & feel he's so intuned with the culture that they turn themselves black? it's 2017 and the way this is going i got til the end of the summer
Cyrus catchin heat on da interwebs
Didn't Chuck D make them battle LONS for the name? He had a bunch of names on a board and both crews wanted it? That's what Busta Rhymes said on Ice T's Final Level podcast. LONS got their name from Chuck D too. If Chuck stamped them I'll let them live.
**** Miley Cyrus.
We all saw this coming though .
Her foray into what she thought was "black/hip hop culture" was her rebellious stage....and "slumming" stage. Privileged white people do this.....then grow up, leave it......and talk down on said culture and places they appropriated.
Rinse and repeat.
Crazy thing is it backfired for her. She could've been close to Taylor Swift status had she had not done all that ****. She had pop hits.
