Topic: First White Rapper????

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Whilst we are all anxiously waiting for V4 can I ask you all what you would say to this question that was asked to me by my 16 year old Son. Might pass 5 minutes.

He said 'Surely Eminem couldn't be the first White Rapper, could he???'

Who do you reckon was the first????

What do you think I said to him??

Also, who is the best???

A

Norway, I know you know this!!!! ;))

LOL! Let me step in. There have been many of our caucasian brothers doing their thing WAY before Em and that other dude. The Beastie Boys, Third Bass, EverLast (House of Pain).

Blondie - Rapture [1980]

First female caucasian rapper i can think of

if memory serves me correctly, Blondie has the distinction of having first mainstream rap song to chart on billboard. Tex Ritter, John Ritters' Dad, had the first charted "spoken word" hit on the "Hit Parade" chart.

well anyway ...

in my oppinion ... the first 'white rapper' was Blondie .... she was the first caucasion person to drop a 'hiphop' track

but, then came the Beasty Boys ... Markie Mark ...Vanilla Ice

Now there is Eminem

if we are talking rhymin' then you might as well say Bob Dylan, but i guess in general i'd sat the Beastie Boys

Steve Lynch is Right!!!! Johnny Cash can sure sing out some great rhymes. Not sure if I'd consider it Hip Hop but Beastie Boys, Blondie, Vanilla Ice. well there were many good singers out there.

But Rap stands for Rythm And Poetry so I'd have to go with Steve Lynch on this one :)
