FYI Everyone! Original Filipinos are blacks such as the Agta, Aeta, and Atis. Some aboriginal blacks of the Philippines intermarried with the Austronesian (popularly known as Seafaring Malay). These black people of the islands may have pass their genes to us, dont you guys ever wonder why some of us have black feature? Anyways for some hip hop is a way of life, its really not about the color of skin.

I'm Pinoy and I'm into hip-hop. The difference is I'm from The Philippines and this is where I live. I've been to the US and met alot of Fil-Ams, some are nice while other are a bunch of dicks. But in all Fil-Am culture is different from mine. They may be of Filipino ancestry but their culture is way different.

@deviousMonk Very true and glad you pointed that out because sadly alot of filipinos hate to acknowledge that fact. One love & God bless!!!

I dont think they are "acting black" Hip-hop is a genre of music thats just happend to be created by black people everyone listens to hip-hop, now if they were rcok stars would anyone be complaining??? I doubt it!

Hip hop's about the struggle and last time I checked everyone can relate to that no matter what you are.
