It's not too hard to get away with cultural appropriation, in practice, if you've got the chops to back it up (c.f. Led Zeppelin). If it's just lazy stealing of other another group's tropes, however, you're gonna get slammed and justifiably so.
Basically, what it comes down to is, do you have the talent and/or sensitivity to take that risk? If so, then great, we wouldn't have lots of great art without it. But know that it's a risk, know that it's tricky, know how it can go wrong if you F up.
