“Battle-tested rapper Saigon, who recently took to the Internet to launch diss records and threats at his own adversary, New Jersey–based emcee Joe Budden, has dealt with that narrow a window before. “When I was going through my thing, motherfuckers were like, ‘You got 48 hours to respond,’ ” he recalls. “And it wasn’t fair, because with Nas and Jay-Z, you had to wait. I remember it took months to hear Nas respond with ‘Ether’ after Jay-Z dissed him on ‘Takeover.’ The Internet is microwaving hip-hop. It’s about everything else except skills.”"

Black boy white boy is young dro’s new style change. You ever notice how he dresses like a hood carlton? He’s getting his mr. fonzworth bentley on while still being hood.
So he’s got the white boy tags, which are made by white people, but his swagger is still hood, ghetto, country. Hence white people designer clothing mixed with a black man’s hood swagger.
