His music aint like most other bay area rappers n therefore wudnt go 2gether well with most other rappers in the bay.. Especially with his newer style- can't imagine him ona track with some rappers goin off about gettin hyphy or some thug/turf shit.
IMP, Equipto, Mac Dre.... he gets down with more than just "perv-p style youngsters"

n about the white fans that shit is true... never been to a whiter rap show than nickatina. if u ask most white kids who aint into rap much to name a bay rapper they'll probably name nicky cuz...
1) "Ayo."
2) He aint all up on some thug or hyphy shit- probably makes him easier for more white people to relate to, opens him up to people who aint into that, and makes him stand out in some ways.
3) he's always performin and unlike most rappers can put on a good show. by tourin all over u spread ur shit to new places and people who otherwise wudn't have otherwise. most of the people who go see live music are white so that spreads that way.
4) he's got TALENT.
n so on...

^^^true, look at Hiero.. all they do is tour, and look at there fan base (worldwide)
nickatina always be sellin out at the record store out here. it dont matter who's hot, when he drop an album he is always #1 for the store. maybe its because of "white people".. (lol..wtf?)
dude has always been one of my favorites. very original, only other bay rapper i could compare him to is Del.

I personally don't like Nicky, cause you can hardly find a verse of him where he doesn't say "like". IMO when sbd says "like", he doesn't really know what to say. It's like a filler. "I'm fast like cheetah, dumb like dumb and dumber that is cold as ice..." - stuff like that.
When I listened to that new Nicky & Equipto cd I was like "damn, I didn't know that <like> could've been used so mant times on one track". Among other "like" type of rappers you may find white folks who have Nicky on their cds, like Savage C or V-Boy.

To be honest (I'm not trying to be rude or sth) I was taught that "like" is not a metaphor, but a comparison. In some cases comparisons are treated as metaphors though. However metaphors are sth deeper than "When I see cops I disappear like Copperfield". When rappers use "like" it's usually some cheap ass shit. However sometimes it's great, but rarely.

before you talk about white people like this black people like this... you have to define black and white people. becuase i know some black people that grew up in white areas and they like rock music. i mean you cant say BLACK PEOPLE like anything, black people are in all walks of life everywhere and into everything.
