a wigger thing
I totally understand your irritation at wiggas.
I see 'em walking around here and there and they definitely exhibit a special kind of stupid.
White guys who talk black, have jungle fever, diminish the authentic roots of hip hop.
I also get how I am at times indistinguishable from a wigga.
Honestly, it amuses me when I get comments like that.
But, yes, wiggas are corny, and some white guys (https://cutt.ly/4OeBNjM) take it too far.

And yet I suppose from a purely artistic level hip hop became about the spoken rather than sung word. Artists like Elvis and The Beatles would try to sing like black artists but when they were done singing they didn’t walk around trying to talk like them too. However, when the sung word becomes the spoken word it might seem disingenuous to rap like that and then not talk like that. You see the same thing in country actually where singers not from the South try to emulate that accent in their singing but then try to talk like that too in order to pull the act off.

I personally believe that the greats emulated black artists because black people by and large are born with a natural sense of rhythm and ability to dance.
Of course, there are exceptions to that rule, and I don't wish to promote stereotypes, but I do believe that white artists mimic black ones because its a shortcut to sounding genuinely gifted on the mic or playing an instrument.

Actually, I've never really thought of it like that. That's a brilliant observation.
I sometimes wonder what Eminem (for instance) would sound like if he didn't "talk black?"
Did he make a habit of copying black culture, and it just became how he spoke?
Is it unfair for me to single him out? He profits off the mimicry of his supposed black idols, just like Elvis.
If you caught a wigga at sunday dinner with their parents you'd probably hear a much whiter style of language and dress.
That's part of what makes them corny.

It never occurred to me, but how much of a "wigga" was Jagger?

For sure! His whole style is really pretty James Brown. Still, he never seemed to try to talk like that in conversation outside studio creation.

I was (somewhat) unfairly lashing out at hip hop because of the constant culture hammer of black good/white bad we’re all forced to endure these days and for how often hip hop is made a part of that. I resent that but not hip hop itself.

Yo dey be gettin wiggaz in all de verts deez daze, and dey on everywhere now all de time 24-6.
People used to dress great just to go buy milk and eggs. Now people wear pajamas everywhere they go, in their devolved silly state. Not just wiggers, but everybody, but mostly wiggers.
Ghetto culture should not be celebrated. It should be shameful.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
