plan b is a very respected grime artist from the uk.
he’s white and said in an interview he didn’t have an interesting enough childhood to rap about so he raps about other peoples. he also addressess big issues like knife crime etc so you could copy his style.

It really doesn’t matter what race you are in any genre of music. Although the majority of hip hop artists are black, there are still some who are white or other races. It’s all about the music you make, not what race you are.
Here’s a tip on how to get noticed. You should join YouTube and post videos of your performances of songs. Justin Bieber, the fifteen-year-old who recently got a record label from Island Records, was discovered through YouTube. He just released his first single "One Time" back in June. One of his managers is actually Usher.
Good luck!

Why not? The Beastie Boys and Eminem are white, and they are some of the most successful hip-hop artists of all time.

1. It doesn’t matter about you race or culture when it comes to music. music is about passion and emotion, not racism and that crap. Well, it shouldn’t be anyway.
2. You don’t need to have crap happening to you. You could write about things that make you happy, sad, things that irritate the crap out of you. As long as it’s how you actually feel. Far out, you could even write a song about something so small and sill and unimportant and make it seem like the most important thing in the world.
Have fun mate

You almost sound silly. but i’m going to help you. Eminem, Atmosphere, and Asher Roth made it because they had talent AND were white. You need talent [not another skin color]. You’re too young to be able to do shows and stuff..but get up and write. The more you write the better you become.

yea, but if you really want to be like CB you should beat up your GF and act like your not sorry about it at all and even joke about it a little.
