Stuff White People Like. Example:
In the olden days of white culture, people used to look up to Kings and Princes. These were the people that they adored, and every night they wished and hoped that somehow they could wake up and be just like them. But with Royal Families crumbling, that role has been filled by one man: Mos Def.
He is everything that white people dream about: authentic (”he’s from Brooklyn!”), funny (”he was on Chapelle show!”), artistic (have you heard “Black on Both Sides?”), an actor (”he’s in the new Gondry film!”) and not white (”I don’t see race”).
It’s funny cuz it’s true.

This particualr white person also likes battle raps. Especially battle raps from someone in a dinosaur suit. Just sayin’.

I am still studying the Preliminary Report of the President’s Bipartisan Blue Ribbon Panel on Funky Funky Funky Hit Records. DJ Airwolf is spinning the latest tracks at 1500rpm on his rotor-mounted turntable within his Secret Party Mesa. And I am still crafting some moderatedly fresh battle lyrics to spit like lukewarm prune juice at wack MCs and faux-centrist player haters alike. There’s a protocol to be observed here.

I can’t speak for other white people, at least not after the injunction, but this white guy certainly likes Mos Def in an almost embarrassing way (e.g., I saw 16 blocks).

Doh.
I like Mos Def a lot. At least Black on Both Sides, and the Black Star sh*t with Talib Kweli.
Feeling all stereotypey.

Uh oh. I just discovered a disturbing truth about myself. Since I’ve never even heard of Mos Def, I must not be white! My parents have been lying to me all these years!

I’m so white I like him for playing Ford Prefect. Also, “Ghetto Rock” from the New Danger has a great for-the-white-people guitar noise. It is most delicious.

In Sweden, the o has a line through it, meaning it’s pronounced Moose Deef.
BTW, Douglas Adams categorically stated that Ford Prefect could be played by a colored gentleman only if The Kingpin went black first.

Which in turn was dependent upon Harvey Dent being not just black but also smoooooooth.

I love Mos Def. I have always loved him, even before it was cool.
I believe that makes me even more white than the rest of you, kthx.
