Hi !
Yeah how could I forget Hip Hop! Of course, THE main western export to Gambia is American Hip Hop... I probably forgot about it because of my deep hatred for that genre
Haven't heard that much of Nelly but I can tell you 50 cents is THE man around here. See kids wearing shirts with his face on it and grafittis to his glory everywhere... so sad... Oh well I guess it's not surprising that young Africans will look up to successful African-americans, but why only the bad ones? Around here when young teenage boys 'dress-up' to go out or something it usually means shedding tradionnal dress for a gangsta look...
Yeah, hip hop is really revered here in Saipan. What's funny, is I find the kids out here really cant' fathom the whole black/white racial issue. It's kind of like "How could anyone hate black people? They're the coolest people on earth!"
