If he's faking he's been doing it for a minute

All things considered (hip hop's obsession with "authenticity" and "realness" for all rappers of any background), don't really think it's all that high at all...whatever distinctions there are from the general "is he keeping it real though" standards, are born from white america's history of raping and appropriating elements of black american culture throughout the centuries...don't really think "are you deliberately appropriating or making a mockery of black people" is all that high of a bar
... in riff raff's case basically the only thing separating him from being a modern day minstrel act is whether or not he goes home and washes off the symbolic blackface at night...it appears that he once he created the character, he fine tuned it over the years and fully committed to it so he's kinda like Scott Hall running around being Razor Ramon full time, even when he's off the clock...so at least there aren't any half measures here, he's all in

all that might be beyond the scope of his intentions though. maybe he just wanted to be a rapper, and emulated those around him

Shocking
basically Riff the gawd aint from the hood at all. BUT unlike these other culture stealers he decided to move to the hood, hang with exclusively black people, and immerse himself in the culture.
he's not like miley cyrus where he's gonna run to his white family when shyt doesn't pop. he's gonna stay doing this ignorant shyt for life.

Exactly why I give him a pass. He can't undo any of this shyt. Nah he stuck for life.
Bruh if you in ya 20s and the first rapper you heard was dmx then you dont belong in this rap shyt
Riff should thank jesus every night that his homey Vaughn deleted that old Youtube account for him. I started following his videos back in '09 when Gs to Gents was still on TV. He had videos shytting on the show and calling Fonzworth Bentley a "fakkit ass nikka" like 10 different times with no shame. That wouldve ended his "career" right there. I'm actually surprised nothing has popped up yet...
