Upside Down World

The New Norm?

Before we begin, allow me to go ahead and preface this by making it crystal clear, this is all based off results from the past few years.

E

So for starters this right here is without any reason or directive, just result driven while remaining subjective.

Begin with a sport known to be dominated worldwide by an absence of pigment color to the skin, that was until one man changed the status quo with his ridiculous utter dominance.

Breaking a long held tradition that was known as ' the good ole boys club' as only he could, if you yet to guess I am speaking of golf and the great Eldrick Tont 'Tiger' Woods.

A man of multi national descent but most importantly a man of color and race, who destroyed the PGA tour like Hurricane Katrina had the levies left in its wake.

On to another sport that has routinely been dominated by people considered to be white, until 2 girls from Compton made it their personal playground to enjoy and like.

First there was Venus setting records on the court with her dominant overhand smash, then came Serena blowing what Venus had done out the water week after week and match after match.

Their Father Richard warned us all that Venus was great but the best was yet to come, with Serena making him seem like Nostradamus by fulfilling his outlandish predictions.

Now could just leave this there and no one would have reason to be mad, but have few more examples of our world going crazy to be had.

With this next one being the opposite of first few examples I chose, being that it is someone white at the forefront of this game and to me it is not even close.

This man is by pretty much any statistical measure at the very tip top, one can ask all the OG's of this genre, and they all agree he runs hip hop.

Well respected by his peers for his penmanship plus what he is still accomplishing, speaking of the vocal orator giant known worldwide as Marshal Mathers aka Eminem.

Want to go by record sales and their is absolutely no competition, or go by impact, he brought us 50 Cent, Yelawolf, SlaughterHouse, and also G-Unit.

Really his mark is most felt when being talked about by the past hip hop greats, such as Rakim, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, or Ice T who all recognize his skill as opposed to color of his face.

From Hi my Name Is on through to his annihilation of the rapper formerly known as MGK, his skills continue to grow with his verbal onslaught unmatched by anyone rapping today regardless of race or age.

Talking male or female, either way the result is the same, the top one of both sexes are white and running the game.

On the female is a little bit more of an unknown artist by the masses, however in rap circles she is a verbal assassin who been teaching master classes.

She goes by the name Snow Tha Product and as she puts it perfectly, no woman is hotter, which she easily backs up ripping apart beat after beat with her lyrical lava.

She is beautiful, white and part Mexican, so she can spit different languages in one flow, going from English to Spanish with an ease unparelleled by anyone else that I know.

If you do not agree with either of my choices for best rapper alive then just ask yourself this, how would your favorite rapper fair in a lyrical battle against either of my picks.

So from best rappers being white to golf and tennis best athletes being of color dominating year round, safe to say it all makes sense when say the world is upside down.
