Little children holding hands

Licensed to Ill

This year I’ve decided to end Black History Month with a link to the highly-debatable Top 10 Rap Songs White People Love.

I personally feel that the NWA derivatives (Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, etc.) should have been somewhere here, probably with NWA’s “Express yourself” or Snoop Dogg’s “Gin & Juice.” I think the pinnacle of this variety of rap music was Eazy E’s “Boyz-N-The-Hood” (known to a very few as “the Ballad of Kilo-G”).

The lack of Run-DMC is also disturbing (Sucka MCs should call me “sire“). Maybe it’s just because I live so close to Mendocino and Humboldt counties (you can arguably find better pot in British Columbia, but I’m no expert on that subject), but the stoner white-people demographic was sorely underrepresented. Cypress Hill’s “Insane in the Membrane” and Afro Man’s “Because I Got High” could easily replace some of the marginal cases here.

As we slide back into your regularly-scheduled White History Months (Asians get May, Hispanics get September, Native Americans get November; the rest is for whitey), I leave you with a link to Stuff White People Like.

    Yeah, Gin and Juice should have been on the list. Also something by Tupac, probably the song with Dr. Dre, California Love.
