Anticon and middle class rap

"Maybe Anticon is what happens when self-proclaimed 'wiggers' grow up. Instead of trying to sound like Buckshot and Nas, they learn to let loose their true feelings and honest emotions in that nasally white whine, which can be endearing or irritating depending on the audience."

And then this quote from Anticon member pedestrian:

"I think introspection is a deeply middle class value, and with rap being as verbose as it is, it seems to make sense that as middle class white kids take up the form, many are trying to map out new territory, so to speak, in songwriting. It's interesting though: at the same time rappers have traditionally presented themselves as units of sheer bravado, rap has always held something intensely human and personal about it. You could argue that one worthwhile contribution of middle class white kids in rap is an attempt to reconcile this deeply held contradiction between bravado and poetic honesty."
