    Saw them a week or so ago I think, though these guys were just doing covers...

    In general, yes, white men can't rap, there are a few exceptions, but they are rare.

    Why would he be kidding ? The beastie boys are fantastic and well respected rappers within the industry.

    They're good. In a kind of funny way. But they are not skilled rappers in the general sense of the word.

    I suppose it depends on what you define as good rapping. IMHO they are terrible in that regard and almost any english speaking caucasian could cover their stuff fairly well.

    A good white rapper imo would be j to the r o c ;)

    I've seen them. When I saw them there was a women with them with a toddler (around 2/3 years old) and he was dancing to the rapping, throwing shapes and whatnot, and obviously loving the attention he was getting. Then he started doing the V sign to members of the public who were laughing at him. Wtf kind of parenting is that? Letting a small child do rude hand gestures to people who are laughing at him! He'll grow up thinking it's alright and that's how he should impress people.

    It made me very angry.

    I know - the songs are the best part! They rap about hardcore drug dealers, AK47s, pimping, etc; yet the closest they've ever got to "pimping", is watching a Puff Daddy video - yeah lads, keepin' it REAL!
