Russian gangster rap

Watching television in foreign countries can also be entertaining. Georgia does not fall short from that at all. We have been seeing a lot of the Russian MTV and what has struck me most is the amount of confused young gentleman who are "singers". This Russian guy who was rapping, I suppose seemed to be a classic example of what is commonly referred to a poser or perhaps someone who is in denial about that ethnic background. You see, this man seemed to think he was from the hood and perhaps even black. The clothing was baggy and typical rap style attire, lots of tattoos to blend in well, muscles to help show them off, a band around the biceps for who knows what. But what really perturbed me and made me wonder if indeed they had dubbed him into Russian was this type of nylon/pantyhose/strange head garb thing that I have only seen African-Americans wear in Washington, DC. He is indeed Russian and I do doubt he is from the "hood" but am sure he has a slight identity problem.
