Write-Out Returns!

I feel like having another theme week, so this week’s theme is MUSIC!  I told you before how awesome I am at playing Def Jams Rapstar on the Wii.  That’s how I got my rap name, White-Out.  Well, I ended up at a Karaoke place this past weekend and I decided to test my rap skills out on the stage.  (Okay, actually I lost a bet so I didn’t have much of a choice, but whatever, it must have been my destiney to perform that night.). So naturally, when I had to pick a song, I picked Coolio’s “Gansta’s Paradise”.

I gave it my all and I was quite pleased with my performance when I was done.  I totally thought I had nailed it.  Unfortunately, none of my friends agreed with me.  I was told it was the whitest version of that song that anyone has ever heard.  Apparently, there is no room for proper pronunciation in rap music.  

And, they said I had white girl rhythm.  I’m not sure what in the hell that they meant by that.  I got like at least half of the words out on the right beat.  Come to think of it though, my Ukulele instructor is always telling me he’s going to beat the white girl rhythm out of me eventually.  So maybe they had a point on that one.

They also said that most rappers dance while they rap.  I guess I didn’t move at all on stage.  I know I’m not a good dancer so that’s why I don’t do it in public, but I still think I’m pretty fly for a white girl.  Maybe I just need some fly guys dancing on the stage behind me.  Yeah, that’s got to be it.

Overall, I’d say it was a pretty awesome experience.  I actually kind of want to do it again.  What song should I do next?  Hmmmm.  It’s definitely going to be “Jump” by Kriss Kross.  Yeah, I’m going to have to try that one out this weekend.  Holla!
