    I grew up on the South Side of Chicago in the hood. I listened to anything from ABC to Grand Master Flash to Mozart to ZZ Top. Nobody gave me any grief. No one ever considered me a sellout. They knew that’s just who I was. My nickname was New Wave (it was the 80’s). I’m the same today. I can bob my head to The Game or Marilyn Manson. Still not getting any grief for it either. It’s who you are & how you carry yourself. If you are in the hood walking around acting like Hillary from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air or Whitney from a Different World, then yeah folks are going to think that you are acting White & are selling out. If you are just yourself, then it’s all good.
