Guest Column – Top Ten Hip Hop Songs White People Love
February 5, 2008 by clander
The study of white people is growing quickly. As we move forward, it’s important to recognize the outstanding work being doing by those outside of this blog.
I was preparing to write a post about how white people love “old school” hip hop, and take it very seriously. Or perhaps how they love “conscious” hip hop that so vitally addresses the problems of a community that they don’t belong to. Remember, they aren’t dancing or jogging to this music for fun – it’s for a social cause.
White people often have spiritual moments at concerts by the following artists: Common, Brand Nubian, Tribe Called Quest, and Del Tha Funky Homosapien.
Cats and Beer has kindly put together a fantastic list of the top hip hop songs that white people love.
Highlights taken from Catsandbeer.com
9. Digital Underground – The Humpty Dance
Humpty Hump was rap music’s greatest alter ego and actually a good MC but all White People know (and love) him for is “I like my oatmeal lumpy,” and “Burger King bathroom.”
F*cking White People.
8. Biz Markie – Just A Friend
Oh my god do White People love this song. Particularly frat boys. Why? I don’t know.
Unlike most of his peers on this list, the Biz is a guy long deep in the hip hop scene with lots of cred, yet to White People he’ll only ever be that fat funny-looking black guy with the wig who sings bad.
7. Young MC – Bust A Move
I believe there is a law that requires this song be played at every Rock n’ Bowl.
Like that the police shut down the bowling alley if it doesn’t comply.
6. Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock – It Takes Two
Knowing the words up to “I get stupid, I mean outrageous” is standard and unremarkable.
Knowing everything up through the hook means you’ll be frenching at 80s Night.

I am white and I love a lot of hip hop, but in reading this list all I could do was laugh at myself. Humpty Dance! Hot in Herre! Baby Got Back! I can sing along to those songs and few others, to my shame. I think the article is brilliant.
“umokay” bothered to read the whole article and yet got all snotty over it? “I know an entire family of white people and NONE of them like any of those songs”. Wow, how unusual.
i agree with you gregg this blog is very interesting to read .
i am aslo visiting this on regular basis .
i am from asia not white but this post help me learn about white peoples .
Started following your blog for Three days now and i ought to say i am needs to like your posts.
He’s talking about hipsters. I live in San Diego and all of these songs frequent the jukeboxes of the hipster haunts out here. BORING.
Honestly, just the fact that I agree with this comment probably makes me seem racist. But it is true.
Maybe everyone should stop worrying so much about everyone else and concentrate on what THEY need to improve on. This blog is helpful to no one.
I’m white and I don’t like a single one of those songs. Perhaps you are studying the wrong white people. Personally i think this entire site is retarded. But hey, that’s just me, a little white girl who never new what it was like to grow up in “hood”….oh wait…that is exactly where I grew up.
Personally I don’t give a crap that you are writing a blog about “white people” but get real. I know many white people…an entire family of them in fact, and NONE of them like any of those songs.
