White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I'll include Eminem and I don't care if he's been given the pass.

He grew up in the ghetto around that culture. He wasn't pretending. I didn't know he used the n word in any songs. He may have used it in conversation idk.

Repeating song lyrics don't count bc usually you are alone anyway. It's a 'tree falls in the woods and no one there to hear it' situation.

About your last point, I've been trying to make it a habit that I replace it with "brother" or something whenever I'm singing along.

But you gotta use it without the hard R. "Brotha"

I use 'glip glops' referencing Rick and Morty.

Rick: What's up my glipglops!?!?

And

Summer: Are some glip glops from the third dimension gonna come over and play cards or something?

And Rick eventually explains: Glip glop is like the n-word and the c-word had a baby and it was raised by all the bad words for [juice].
