I don't get it. Why only atheist rappers?

What? That is like asking why black golfers or black hockey players?

There are plenty of white atheists in media, just very few in pro sports, black or white.

Even with that, try pointing out black atheists in history to your black theist friends.

I understand that there are very few black atheists, but it just seems kinda weird to me that the main reason to listen to them is because they are black atheists. It gives me the impression that the reason for liking them isn't their music but their background. It'd be like if I said I didn't like actors/actresses, except for Marlee Matlin because she's deaf and I only like deaf actors/actresses. So what if she's deaf, is she good?

It'd be different if you were just talking about supporting them. I'll support any black atheist for being a black atheist. That shit is tough. But it doesn't mean I have to like their music/acting/dancing/etc just because they're a black atheist.

Dude...nobody holds a candle to Jimi. Countless guitar players started out because of him; countless guitar players cover him. Dropping coin on Vernon Reid is throwing money away.

Jimi was ahead of his time. But Vernon would clean his clock in dueling guitars.


Jimi would Shut'em Down. (Public Enemy reference for topical relevence points.)

He ascended to Valhalla at age 27...he was just getting warmed up! Imagine Clapton's career with a more talented git slinger. Reid would soil himself. Besides, speed and technical ability are fine, but mojo....yeah. Mojo isn't something you learn. The best blues men had it, and Jimi did too. Hell, he defined what it meant to multiple generations. He was/is the god of guitar. Full stop.

I like the message and the musical platform on which it's delivered.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
