10 Great Moments in White Rap History

In honor of Northern State's appearance at Warehouse Live, Houstoned Rocks is proud to present 10 of the dorkiest and funniest moments in the history of melanin-challenged rap:

1. Here's a dorky guy who can impersonate LL Cool J, Mystikal and Digital Underground:

2. Houston's own Iced Out Eskimoz and their tribute in rhyme to Whataburger:

3. This kids will beg to have this tape destroyed in less than one year:

4. For a while in the '80s, the airwaves were plagued with terrible rap commercials. Here's a quintessential one from about 1989, with a couple of nerds going all Fat Boys over The Legend of Zelda.

5. A plump, pissed-off German kid. If Andy Milonakis was from Frankfurt, he'd be this dude:

6. Ever seen an Australian octogenarian bust a rhyme? No? You must harness the power of Skittles:

7. Rappin' Rove

8. Funky-fresh B-Boys gettin' jiggy

9. Okay, as a white person, at this point all I can say is "Please kill me, now..."

10. No, really, kill me...
