Where'd all the good "white boy" rappers go? More specifically, do they exist? I can hear Leonard Nimoy's voice over start like an episode of In Search Of...., begging the question "was there ever a great white hope in rap music? Tonight, we examine the history of white rap music and look for the possibility of a great white MC." Good luck, Spock. I think you'll have a better chance of finding Bigfoot.
To me, rap is not for the white man. It's for the brothas and the sistas. It's from the streets. Didn't Chuck D. say that it's the "CNN of the ghetto"? He's right. That's what I want my rap to be about. I want it to be about the "shorties" and drinkin' lean. I want it to be angry at the white man for keeping them down. I want it to be about the hard times and the good times. I want Bishop Don Magic Juan to yell "Chuch!" on the sidelines. I don't want any other race to rap. Hip Hop is the only form of music that should remain strictly a black form of music.
If the first name that comes to your mind is Eminem, then it's obvious that you listen to crap music (which I know you don't). I think if you are white and you like Eminem, then your definition of rap is The Bloodhound Gand and House of Pain. If you're black and you like Eminem, then something is completely wrong with you or you are Bryant Gumble. Shady is wack. What about The Beastie Boys? I'll have to hand it to them.....back in the day, those bros came correct. The best thing about The B-Boys is that they never pretended to be who they weren't. They always acknowledged their jewish NY heritage. All three look completely horrible now. I think they eat way too healthy and smoke too much herb.
So, was MC 900 ft. Jesus the last great white hope in rap? Hell, when was the last time he put an album out? Where'd he go? Or maybe it was MC Search and Pete Nice from 3rd Bass with "The Gas Face"? Listen, my people ain't much better. Hell, we had Gerrardo and that one guy that did that stupid "La Raza" song......which both artist's cassingles found themselves in heavy rotation in my pal Ray Ray's 1968 Galaxy 500. Dude.....gimme a break, it was Lordsburg.
Give me some white boy names, white boy........let's see if your people can handle the mic?
