Do you think blacks dominate hip hop and rap music than whites?

I think yes. I see more blacks rapping and doing hip hop than white ones on tv, newspapers, books and magazines.

I don't mean to be rude, but are you kidding me? The only white rapper ever to go platinum and have #1 hits was Eminem. Any other rappers tried to follow suit. Unfortunately this is due to the fact that a lot of the content the black rap artistts talk about is real life events and situations they have been in or know of. Statistically more blacks live in "harder" areas than whites, so they have more stories about how to survive or people getting shot or whatever. The good thing is some make it out with the talent of the rappers you hear today and entertain people and make millions. I don't personally listen to rap anymore, but I used to enjoy some like Project Pat and three 6 mafia. Here lately it just sounds like the same old stuff, however true it may be to their life experiences, it's just too common these days.

Yes blacks are better at rap and hip hop because that is their culture and musical style that they prefer. There are also some white guys out there that can rap pretty well but it's obviously dominantly black. In the same aspect white guys are better in rock singing perhaps but there are black guys that can sing just as well its all about style really.
