"Oh, I wish I could, but I really don't want to."
Phoebe... Friends
This morning on the radio, 96.1, they did a top 10 count down. It was called the top 10 rap songs white people love. While I did love every song on the list, there were some I think were missing.
Their List:
10. Positive K - I Got A Man
I'm not so sure I would have included this on my list. I do LOVE this song. It reminds me of my brother-in-law, I have it in the IMEEM playlist I posted on
Myspace. I just don't think that many people, white or black or asian or latin or whatever know it. Am I wrong?
9. Digital Underground - The Humpty Dance
This goes on the list 100%. My DAD likes this song. Who doesn't love it? The radio mistakenly said that they won the first rap grammy. Nope, it was
Will Smith, at least acording to Will Smith. Which is someone I would have used on my list.
8. Biz Markie - Just A Friend
I love this song. I love pretty much everything old school. I even like the remake Mario did a few years ago. Of course someone who looks like Biz singing a love song is a little off setting.
7. Young MC - Bust A Move
Yeah, okay, I've got this on my playlist too. Since they keep using it in sterotypicly "white" movies, ie Dude Where's My Car, Can't Hardly Wait, I can see how it would keep popping up on a list like this.
6. Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock - It Takes Two
Well, it's not one of my favs, but yes, I do think a lot of people like it, and that's the thing. These songs appeal to people that like differant types of music. And sex always sales.
5. Naughty By Nature - Hip Hop Hooray
I kind of thought OPP would have made it, but I knew some song by them would be on the list. And ofcourse I figured it would be one of the songs that didn't really talk about any "real" issue.
4. Tag Team - Whoomp (There It Is)
I also like the
95 South song, Whoot There it Is. Either way, these are songs that people think are okay for EVERYONE to listen to, but they are like the Sloja Boy's of their time. I remember in the 6th grade the cheerleading team did a dance to it, the versions that started, "Hey, does anyone know where I can find some booooty?"
3. Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
No brainer here.
2. House of Pain - Jump Around
Another no brainer. I mean come on, they are white guys from Boston.
1. Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back
I think this one is here because it is funny, and still talks about sex. And you know the line "Even white boys got to shout."
Where's Eminem? Where are the
Beastie Boys? I still have a goal in life to marry
AdRock. Sorry, I guess that song might not be universaly appealing enough, even if it is one of my favs. how about
this or
this or
this. The more times I write "this" the wierder it looks. I think one of the reasons I like Joel right away was because I thought he looked just like Adam Horovitz.
On a completely differant subject, on my way home from work last night, Justin called. He had the nerve to ask me to borrow $125. Either he was mule kicked in the head, or he is on massive drugs. I thought he was nuts when he called me a few months ago to ask me to borrow my car. He got so pissed off when I told him I didn't think it was a good idea. This time I broke it off easy, it helped a whole lot that I didn't have the money to give. But some time this week I am supposed to be getting refunded $160 for Malachy's last checkup I had to pay for out of pocket. And they are supposed to mail in my refund check on July 5th. So I could work it out somehow, but I just don't think it's a smart move for me. I mean, I am the one taking care of Malachy, I should be the one asking for money, I mean he is $541.38 behind on child support. And he's been making me pay for gas to drive Malachy to and from his visits. We were supposed to plan a apot and meet half way, but that doesn't look like it's ever going to happen. And he just bought new clothes, and a GRILL. WTF, he's retarded.
