He was mocking Method actors who do that shit to get into their roles. He was not being serious.

What about "Black voice?"

I swore up and down Paul Wall was Black when I first heard his verse on Grillz. Then I saw the video. And he's not acting. That's literally just how he speaks.

R2, many white dudes talk that way. Hip hop is the soul of Generations. Where have you been since 1987?

The very idea of "doing blackface right" is ludicrous.

Been there, done that.

Nah. Paul Wall is on a different level with it. There's speaking with a street/hood accent, and then there's having actual Black soul/flavor in the way that you speak (hard to explain). He grew up around Black people. Period. His wife is also Black.

^ This applies to singing also.

This, too, threw me off when I found out, lol.

It's ok now.

Anyone is fair game. They're just jokes after all.

R1 too bad the people on twitter don't understand that.
