Biz Markie - Just A Friend

I’m revealing my complete and total whiteness by admitting I love this song.

I don’t think it ever occurred to the writer of the song one that those are the rap songs a lot of white people know … because those were the only ones clean enough to be played at our high school dances. Unless they take the time to listen to rap on their own time, like Karol, we gotta take what we’re given.

Besides, they didn’t put “Parents Just Don’t Understand” in there. Hahah.

And they forgot “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”.

Actually, at my redneck high school, the cool kids on the basketball team listened to Snoop and 2 Live Crew. And took several fashion cues from the inner cities, perhaps thinking that this would impart some talismanic b-ball mojo to their moves on the court, or maybe with the ladies.

Looking back, that was really strange in a white rural community. Someone could do an ethnic studies Ph.D. on that whole group.

Wow. Of that entire list of rap songs, there is only one I have even heard (“Ice, Ice Baby”) and I thought it was OK. On the other hand, I really love “It’s All About The Pentiums”, which is a rocking tune.

0 for 10 on the list. Of course, they could have included a thousand more songs, and I’d still have the same score.

My son-in-law probably has every rap song every recorded on his iPod, thank goodness for ear-buds!

Hahaha. All About the Pentiums. I love Al.

Those overalls remind me of the time my young cousin (1st, once removed—she’s my cousin’s daughter) was originally taught a little bit about the birds and bees, but not quite enough, apparently. She saw a man shaped like the above and pronounced, “Mommy, that man has a baby in his tummy!”

RE: that list of thing white people like: 0 for 70!!

Same for the list of rap songs, I’ve never heard of any of them! Is there really a rapper named Nelly?!? How silly is that?? Do they actually take him (I assume it’s a guy) seriously?

I’ll stick to Skynyrd, thankyouverymuch!

I’m the whitest person I know; I don’t even freckle! Look up ‘fish-belly white’ in the dictionary and there’s my picture!

And, I like you See-Dubya, regardless of whether or not other white people do. :-)
