Who, where and when? If so, then you might be right.

@ 1 & 3, no

Africans living in Africa dont call eachothers nigga or sag. Cursing have always been a way of life, long before rap music.

Cosign 100%

there are many good AFrican singers. all my favourites come from the North west (Mali especially).

There's no such thing as Ghetto culture.

Lol, I made this topic soooooo long ago


Suuuuuuper BUMP!

PhysicsQED:

Africans in Africa don't seriously ever call each other "nigga" besides a few of those actually living in the West, where they've adopted that from some of the locals or the media. Even among African musicians that imitate or attempt Western musical genres like rap the use of the word "nigga" is quite rare.

I once came across an image of it being used by a poor African shop keeper somewhere who tried to use the word on a sign on his store in the "cool" way that rappers in America do but instead failed terribly at it. I can't remember what country it was right now but I think it was in central Africa.

Tanzania.

@ mrs chima Nigga and Nigger are two very different words.

But that is not the only point addressed in this topic, you guys cant deny that Africa imitates many facets of hip-hop culture. Most of which i think are negative.

For realz, when I first saw a few of your posts (before I saw your PP) I thought you were smart. Obviously, long azz epistle is not a good judge of character.

Stop with your ignorance. . . . how's nigger and nigga different? They hold the same connotation, just spelled different.
It's like calling a fat girl Phat.

Nigga is often used as a term of endearment, i am ashamed to admit i use the term with my brother and other black males.
Nigger is simply the white pronunciation of this word, usually used as a racial slur.

likewise, Phat and fat are also different. Phat refers to a curvaceous female while fat refers to obesity. But of course, there is some overlap with both words.

BTW. whats with all the personal attacks

LMAO @Nigga is used as an endearment. Duuuuuude. . . .. .just stop.
You know that even fatazz women calls themselves phat and wants to be called phat too right? Twisting spelling of words does not decrease the degree of it's meaning.

Personal attacks?

Take a trip to Lagos, and then rethink your claim
