Stupid people on the mike, regardless of their race, religion, or orientation, suck. But I don't think political correctness is the issue here. Drum and Bass in particular grew as a grass roots thing with black working class kids in England. Many (if not all) of the originators are black, and the Jungle MC'ing is usually in a UK Urban Black patois. White kids trying to sound like UK black MC's are going to be pretty bad, and it doesn't have anything to do with racism -- the white kids don't have the cultural context and connection to pull it off. They're just aping what they've heard. On the other hand, anyone who can find a unique voice should step up. Suburban white kids singin the blues sounds pretty lame too. The 'lame' line isn't a color line. It's a matter of originators vs. imitators. Originators have their own thing going, and imitators are, to use the technical term, "sucka MCs."

Sorry for labelling ya a racist. I'm sure you would be just as pissed off at a "stupid black kid" making a mess of the MC thing. I truly didn't see any humour or sarcasm there. Maybe I missed the smiley face.
