Barring hackery, only Nancy or one of our steamed moderators could have changed
the title.  We all know the mods are above such shenanigans.

    RE: White men can't rap.
    
    Like anything else, why should we when we can pay somebody else to do
    it for us. The Anglo-Saxon have been accused of many things, but
    stupidity is not one of them.
    We'll rule the world and let other cultures entertain us.

    By the way, white men can rap. I don't like to, but it gets real
    expensive if I have the stores do all of it at Christmas time.
    Tucking the ends in so that you get nice triangles takes a lot
    of practice.

    That's good! Hope this goes the way of the disco fever craze. But
    sooner. Absolute garbage and an insult to people who do actually write
    music. 
305.75But I cannot wrapREFINE::KOMARThe karaoke masterMon Feb 27 1995 07:576
    	I have proof that white men can indeed rap.  There is one true rap
    song (yes, this could be conceived as an oxymoron) and one psuedo-rap
    song on my very own karaoke alblum.  This alblum can be yours at the
    low, low price of $6.99.  Call now!  Our operators are standing by!

	Remember Vanilla Ice? 
305.83MPGS::MARKEYMother is the invention of necessityTue Feb 28 1995 15:149
    
    Yes, I do. Are you bringing him up as proof that white men can
    or can't rap? (He's probably closer to the latter).
    
    As an aside, his gold "Live" album was mixed and overdubbed at
    Longview Farm in North Brookfield, and his producer has been
    at several of Longview's bashes... nice lady.

    They're called D.C. Talk.

    Todd Rundgren thinks he can on "No World Order".
    Almost gets away with it too.

    Most definitely gets away with it as far as I'm concerned.
    IMHO, "No World Order" is a brilliant and ground-breaking
    album and worthy of the highest praise. And I'm hardly
    the world's biggest Todd fan. I love this album (in case
    you couldn't tell).

    	[Hey, where IS Nancy Morales these days?]
    
    
    	A couple new white-guy rap bands out:
    
    	311 - they suck, basically
    
    	Downset - heard one song and it wasn't too bad.
    
305.107CSC32::M_EVANSbe the villageTue Mar 18 1997 08:483
    So, um is 311 some sort of cop code, like 420?

305.108POLAR::RICHARDSONPatented Problem GeneratorTue Mar 18 1997 09:041
    311 is a robbery.
305.109DECWIN::JUDYThat&#039;s *Ms. Bitch* to you!Tue Mar 18 1997 09:385
    
    
    	They're kind of like "Faith No More".  I don't like the song
    	"Down" but the other one is pretty good.  More danceable.  =)

    	You really should learn to be more careful with your things, Chris.

305.112You've got to trust you're instinct'sFABSIX::M_CADIEUXKADOUWed Mar 19 1997 03:417
    
      311 (the band) stands for:
       
       -the 11th letter of the alphabet is "k"
       -3 letter "k's" 
    
    Therefore 311=KKK
305.113BUSY::SLABCan you hear the drums, Fernando?Wed Mar 19 1997 08:013
