I can see the bull**** factor in "Malibu's Most Wanted", but when you live in an area where there aren't that many black folks, and hip hop is the music of choice by people of a certain age -- regardless of their colour -- it starts to make a little more sense. The way they see it, it's less about mimicking a race, and more about belonging to a universal culture.

(Yeah, we know where that culture came from - but when Eminem is the most popular rapper on the planet, and most of his fans were born in the 80s and don't know the history behind the culture of hip-hop, what can you expect? )

And am I wrong for wanting to see "Platinum"? I thought it might be interesting to check out the first hip-hop mini-series...
