Clearly this is a black-originated phenomenon and one that continues to evolve via "black urban trends" as you say, but to ignore the role of whites - even just as consumers - seems odd. 1855@blogcritics.org Thu, 7 Nov 2002 13:55:35 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/152341.php#comment-1854 I would say whites purchase more than 2/3. I think it's somewhere in the 90s. Whites are part of the hip-hop generation but who do they follow? They follow the black urban trends that make up the hip-hop culture. 1854@blogcritics.org Thu, 7 Nov 2002 13:23:03 EST
