I saw a black guy in town drive by, and he was listening to , not rap, but head banging metal music. I thought how odd that was, because I'd never seen that. Is it racist that I thought a black guy listening to heavy metal was odd?
Nope. It is odd. Some guys go against the grain. Lead guitarist for death metal band Suffocation is black. Animals as Leaders, a progressive metal band has a black dude as their guitarist. Its not unheard of but it is pretty rare.
I think the issue is a socioeconomic thing. You have to buy an amp and a guitar for rock/metal/country. With rap you don't need any instruments.
