He said its lonely at the top, but arent there other good white rappers out there? Ok, so maybe not Vanilla Ice and Marky Mark but What about Paul Wall, Bubba Sparx, Lady Sovereign? I mean Eminem cant be the only white rapper. I think that was very wrong to only say Eminem.

Lady Sovereign just hasn't gotten the proper exposure in the U.S. yet, give her a minute. Paul Wall does rapping as a side thing. And Bubba Sparxxx has some good songs, but doesn't release hit after hit like Em.
But there are the Beastie Boys, The Streets(not enough US exposure either), Weird Al, Pitbull, Kid Rock(old school Kid Rock), and some others.

Weird Al?
sharethe beastie boys paved the way for white rappers, and if you think about it rap itself.
shareactually underground hip hop which is to me the only hip hop that has remained true to itself is flowin with great white mc's, check it, slug, el-p, aesop rock(half white) the list keeps goin, the fact is that true hip hop doesnt know color, mainstream hip hop is the only one concerned with that
"you're not silly because you're stupid, you're stupid because you're smart"
I know she is not a rapper or by any means in the category of rap but didn't Blondie do Rapture with a bit of a rap part in it back in the early 80's?
Or is that not considered rap what she did? I don't listen to rap (or at least not much past NWA, Eazy E, 80ish and maybe some early 90's) so I am not familiar with what is technically considered rap and what isn't. If you asked me I would have only been able to name Vanilla Ice, Snow or was it Informer (cant remember which is the artist), and Eminem as white rappers.
(\___/)
(='.'=)
(")_(")
lol, while blondie including some rapping in an early song, which promoted hip hop very early on, and which was important in its own right, she is by no means an mc
"you're not silly because you're stupid, you're stupid because you're smart"
Beastie Boys are Jews. I don't consider Jews white. Eminem is really the only WASP rapper that's successful.
shareOf course Jews are white! Except for the non-white Jews like Ethiopians and such. I hope you're just ignorant and not a neo-Nazi.
shareTechnically it varies. Some are 3/4, 1/2, some are 0% white (example Jeff Goldblum?). Most are from German or Polish countries (therefore Stein, Berg, Ski, etc) therefore mixed over many generations with very white races. So as a rule, Jewish people that immigrated to the US are white or at least they would be considered so by lineage tracers or DNA in most cases.
In the rap world however, you are considered white if you are anything but black or hispanic, LOL...
And on this show, that is surely the case, as I cannot figure out what John Brown is...and Persia is quite etnhic too...maybe Persian (LOL).
The Streets
shareAnd let's not forget Prince Paul discovery MC Paul Barman...
shareHow did I forget the Beaste Boys LOL.

^so dont call her garbage is u dont like her. Actually Lady Sovereign is pretty good. Her style is kinda like Misfit and G-Child combined. If she didnt have talent then why would Jay-Z himself give her a live audition and then sign her?
Love Me or Hate Me (which is her main song) is good and its just a little introduction about her and kinda humorous too. Public Warning is a good song 2 hear a little bit more of her. I think she'll do well.
Bubba Sparxx cant rap 4 *beep* Ms New Booty? The only good song he ever had was Ugly.
If anyone EVER says that Paul Wall is good AT ALL, u need 2 be shot. Its not about how many albums u sell. Because if u look at it now, hip-hop is really in a bad state. Every1 is rappin about the same $hit. There's not much different.
There's a few saviors in hip-hop. Eminem isnt one of them especially with him and G-Unit (ugh). Persia man, she's the next white rapper. AND, I'm not sayin I like fat chicks, but if Persia dropped that weight and stuff she wouldnt look half bad either which would boost her image among other female rappers that dress and talk like hoes like Remy and Trina.
Not feeling Lady Sov at all but guess we'll see if that changes down the road (doubt it).
Bubba Sparxx use to be pretty good till he switched up his style (Ms. New Booty).
Paul Wall was good when he was still with Chamillionaire since Cham use to write his rhymes, but ever since he started writing for his self his lyrics and flow have been ass.
Eminem's first two CD's were classics (SSLP and MMLP) since he was hungry back then. Eminem Show is where he started falling off and just went downhill from there. With Proof's death and his split from his girl he might go back to his old ways.
Persia def won't go with the Trina image cause she said her self she despises those type of female rappers. She's a real lyricist unlike Trina so that ain't flying with her.
Yeah, Paul Wall was good back in tha day of Paid in Full, and tha only time I thought Bubba Sparxx spit good was on We Ready with Archie Eversole....and yeah, for some reason I got a kick out of Chicken Fried Steak by Towdown, (another white rapper here in Texas).

I love, absolutely LOVE how on a show about WHITE RAPPERS, there has been no references to the Beastie Boys, the ORGINIAL white rappers.
I guess Serch is still "battling" them LMAO
A lot of people like to hate on ICP, but they have sold a ton of albums. Plus, they seem like something G-Child would be into.

Xpriggan: Fell Horrorcore fan? I like your list, and I'd like to add Lo Key, Q-Strange, and The Shy One. I personally like Kreepy X and Stitch Mouth too, but I really wouldn't say they're the most skilled.
shareHas noone here heard Lil Wyte?

lil wyte isn't very lyrical though he does make some pretty tight songs, mainly cuz of his beats though.
my favorite rapper has to be either Gift of Gab or Tonedeff when you're not talking about color. when it comes to white Mcs, my fav is probably tonedeff
[deleted]
some of you are only naming white rappers.
not a lot of people are naming GOOD white rappers.
Slug?
Aesop Rock?
Sage Francis?
Tonedeff? Mr. SOS?
Mac Lethal? Okwerdz?
GMS of Hydra...Apathy
Vinnie Paz.
List Goes On.
as far as Bubba Sparxxx.
He is sick.
he changed his style to get more radio play.
but Deliverance had some tight lyrics in there.
I.D. Mindz.
"Where'd you get THOSE clothes...at the Toilet...Store?"
Lil Wyte might not have the most complex lyrics out of all the white rappers out there, but as far as I'm concerned he is one of the most entertaining. Great beats (partially courtesy of being part of Hypnotize Mindz), sick flow, and a cool voice. I have both of his albums, and have downloaded most songs he has guested on and I love pretty much all of it.
White Dawg is another one that is kind of the same way..he has done a few pretty notable remixes, but has yet to really hit the mainstream. He's also got some pretty tight beats for his songs (he's from Miami so a lot of bass heavy bounce type of stuff), some stuff that's really good to listen to while driving and partying and just nod your head to.
You guys gotta be retarded to say Lil Whyte isn't good lyrically. Have you ever heard the song look like you? he tears it up.
shareCollie Buddz is one.
shareNeither Tonedeff or Immortal Technique are white. I believe Immortal Technique is from Peru and I know that Tonedeff is half Cuban and Columbian. His real name is Tony Rojas.
I'm gonna blow her a kiss and a smile. With my luck I'll probably miss by a mile
I love Immortal Technique

Immortal Technique is not white.
