I don't know where he gets that from, either. You can generally tell with the exception of a certain few.

Regional accents don't disguise very much.

Yeah, it's just me then. Anytime I make an assumption about a vocalist's ethnicity I usually end up surprised.

It's very politically correct of you to say 90% (good boy)
I once thought that Blueprint was white. And I thought one of the Asian guys from Greyskul was black. Those are the only surprises that I know of and I'm sure I've listened to more than 200 rappers so I place my success rate well above 90 percent.

Edit: Conan, I've heard you rap and don't worry, none of your audience will be surprised by your ethnicity.

Somewhere in here I think. Some of the links are broken.
I may have mistaken him for a different white rapper / former member of MB. If so then I apologize, Conan. You might totally sound black on the mic.

So you really think people can tell I'm Nepalese?











No but really I used to wear god damned khakis to the studio and everything. Not a fuck was ever given.

EDIT: I have links up in the Mixtape thread from a while back.

Hey, I never assumed that you were trying to sound anything other than Nepalese. It's just obvious. Sorta like how it's easy to tell that the Beastie Boys are Saudi Arabian.

Thank you for ignoring my idiotic joke.

Gratitude
