White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I'll include Eminem and I don't care if he's been given the pass.

There was a deliberate movement to reclaim that word. Similar to black people using the N word. It also rhymes with here. "We're here. We're queer. Get used to it" was a big rallying cry in the 90s.

It does rhyme well.
