First, let me say that I enjoy reading this blog. I discovered “Stuff White People Like” and laughed because I know so many white people that fit the stereotypes depicted in that blog. I wondered if there was a “Stuff Black People Like,” blog and discovered there are several. I find this one to be the most humorous.

That being said, I have a humble criticism and I hope you will take it in the spirit that I offer it. Your grammar is atrocious. You tend to mix tenses, create run-on sentences, and over use colloquial phrases. I find your poor grammar distracting at times, which is unfortunate because the blog has so much potential. I don’t know if you are aware of the fact that the guy(?) that created Stuff White People Like parlayed it’s popularity into a published book being offered at major book retailers. I am certainly not implying that you mimic his accomplishment, but it is something to consider. You have opened a door for yourself, why not maximize its potential?

Without sounding facetious, I suggest you pick up a copy of The Only Grammar Book You’ll Ever Need
by Susan Sommers Thurman. It is an excellent desktop reference.

Peace to you.

actually altho the other 3 were mere good rappers, 2pac was something else he had meaning in his songs jus check out - changes, ghetto gospel, brendas got a baby, keep ya head up, dear mama, shed so many tears songs that you wouldnt see current wannabee gangstas 50 cent doin, 2pac was a great actor and this violence we see altho he rapped bout it if u listen to his interviews he was all bout love nd thuggin wasnt rle his nature. Eazy E died of a disease, Biggie wasnt even a thug, nd i dnt see da last rapper clearly so i cnt talk bout him

Why would u look up to a person who was a “gangsta and thug”?All four of those rappers in that pic were shot cause they were into thuggery.I think they gave black people a bad name.Although Tupac was a great actor.I am white and I hate Elvis.I do look up to MLK and I will say my biggest hero although he is living is ALI.
