I belive she is an artist/songwriter and performer. She also happens to be a someone who goes in and out of rehab like going to the changing room. I hope that anwers your question to some extent.

Why do black people (and white kids that think they are black) suck their teeth?

I would avoid generalisation! I got back from Nigeria recently and belive me i did saw a few white south africans and lebanese kissing/sucking their teeth.

Anyway to answer your question, it is done when one is upset about something, equivalent to saying FFS.

EDIT
Saw that you changed your question, are you trying to be funny?

Cheers... I've been wondering what it's all about for years... not trying to be funny, just making an observation. The white kids that think they are "gangstas" seem to pick up on it and I find it irritating when they do it

You do realise that white kids can be gangstas....Infact anyone can be gangsta regardless of skin colour.

"gangsta" as opposed to "gangster" these days has a stereotype though, ie: 50 Cent.

Anyhow - thread derailed... thanks for the answer

Along the same lines, how come there seems to be such a big cultural divide between black people and white people, especially when it's related to music? I'm not talking about recent immigrants, I'm talking about people born and raised in the UK.

I ask this because when I was in a club a few weeks ago there was a room playing RnB and rap, and there was a room playing indie and rock. In the RnB and rap room most of the people were black, but nearly everyone in the other room was white. I just find it strange that there seems to be such a big link between skin colour and music preferences.

People are generally weak minded and adapt themselves to fit their social stereotype, or so my psychology lecturer would have bme believe.
