This matches the lyrics to his first "White Privilege" song. He asked: "Where's my place in a music that's been taken by my race? Culturally appropriated by the white face? He added: "we still owe 'em 40 acres / now we've stolen their 16 bars."

Rap has stolen the guitar riff licks (the key to those hits memorability) and looped them and reissued those licks as "new" hits. Stolen the idea of rap. Preposterous.

As older songwriters will tell you NOBODY OWNS THE BLUES.

[Kaslin]

Rap is anything but music
