R@p Songs For White People

I wish I could take credit for this idea, but I actually heard it on the radio this morning. I didn't necessarily agree with the list, so I made my own.

  • Digital Underground - Humpty Dance:
    This is perhaps the greatest group to ever have their leader wear a fake nose. Did you know that Tupac was a member of Digital Underground before going solo?
  • Naughty By Nature - OPP:
    Anyone out there know what OPP stands for? I thought not.
  • Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch - Good Vibrations:
    No Comment
  • Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back:
    Few, if any, of the females who dance to this song actually got back.
  • Biz Markie - Just A Friend:
    Possibly the worst rapper of all time, Biz Markie happened to stumble onto a hit that just won't go away.
  • Tag Team - Whoomp (There It Is):
    This song was a staple at the local roller rink. I have not-so-fond memories of skating around for hours, hoping the pretty girls would notice me. Hey look! I can go backwards! What? You don't care? Oh.
  • House of Pain - Jump Around:
    Everlast used to be in a bad-ass Irish rap group. Remember that? Back before he tried to regain his relevance by starting a feud with Eminem and getting his ass lyrically anhilated?
  • Snoop Doggy Dogg - Gin and Juice:
    Have you ever actually tried gin with juice? Not for me.
  • OutKast - Hey Ya:
    I despise this song, yet can't turn it off when it comes on the radio. Stupid OutKast.
  • Ton Loc - Wild Thing/Funky Cold Madina:
    Ton Loc wrote the exact same song twice, with slightly different words. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.


I know many of you will think that I forgot about Vanilla Ice. I did not. People don't actually like his songs, they just think of him as a joke.

My favorite part of all this is seeing people try to rap along with the songs. They usually only know the chorus, yet mumble along with the entire song. "(mumble muble mumbe) You down with OPP...YEAH YOU KNOW ME (mumble mumble mumble)". You're not fooling anyone!

I'm pretty sure Nelly-Country Grammer is for white people too. Also I would say that the Beastie boys -fight for your right to party is white. And the Blood hound gangs repertoire too.

I know what OPP stands for! I think I still have the CD if you want it. I actually have most of the albums you listed...sad.

MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This", Young MC's "Bust A Move", Run DMC's "Walk This Way" amd Wreckx n Effect's "Rump Shaker" were fairly high on this white fella's list of cherished rap. Great blog! Some of the guys at Cane Creek hipped me to your writings...
