Can’t forget about Mark Walberg.
Yeah, Marky Mark aka OG John Cena was out the same time when you had the other white group out, Young Black Teenagers. Then a few years later there was Milkbone. They got payola radio play, but went nowhere. (Except DJ Skribble)...i would mention 3rd Bass, but at least we got Nas out of that
Here's an interview with YBT
They couldnt wait for free-for-all debauchery of today to kick in so the stringent standards set by hip hop purists and the pro Black were no longer in place.
It exploded during the late 90s/early 2000s when you had those white underground backpack rappers showing up. (Rawkus Records era, Necro etc)
They couldn't talk about street stuff, so they threw shots at mainstream rappers talking about brands (Bad Boy, Jigga, etc). They tried branding their music as 'Real Hip-Hop'.
You also had Eamon trying to do R&B.
I'm just glad the 'White Girl Mob' (Lil Debbie, Kreayshawn & V-Nasty) didn't amount to anything. They might've been able to catch on with the current TikTok gen
