The blame falls at the feet of people like him who find it so hard and simply refuse to erase a word from their vocabulary out of the respect and comfort of black people and not at the feet of the rappers who use the word in their songs. If you ask him why he uses it he'll just tell you it's just a word and everyone should be able to say it because it's just a word. It's not just a black 17 year old listening in Harlem anymore, there's the white boy from small town Iowa listening and not just adding 'woes' to his vernacular but 'nigga' as well with a sense of unabashed entitlement. Rap has evolved as a genre and the listeners are just as diverse as the rappers themselves. The people hearing these words aren't just black people anymore. Rap music holds an even bigger impact on our vernacular, whether it be Pimp C with 'Trill'(1987), Lil Wayne with 'Bling Bling'(1998), Kanye with 'Cray'(2011), Chief Keef with 'Thot/Thotties'(2013) or Drake with 'Woes'(2015) when people hear these words they add it to their everyday vernacular.
