Is hip-hop holding back white youths? (wmv)

There's a parent somewhere who has a lot of explaining to do. Oh, and, anyone else really hate streaming video formats? Even on broadband?

The kid has some talent, but really needs some help in the choreography department. The chicken walk thing needed help.

Perhaps the question should be: Are white youths holding back hip-hop?

In the good old days we had standards--jerking off. Stay with the tried and true.

Wow, MC Chris was right, white kids really do love hip hop.

The real question is: why doesn't stuff like this finally put a nail in the big-braggart style of rap? I'm not saying the artists would stop it -- the pop ones are only in it for the free ride and the serious cats dropped that noise a decade ago -- but why doesn't the public and the media finally wake up to the fact that it's just a big act and a big joke now?

Ah, those wacky germans.

Here's the page profiling the kid. Want more performances? Sure ya do! He's Oliver.

My god, it's the hip-hop chicken dance, Germanized for your protection.

Or, auf Deutsch vom babelfish:

Mein Gott, ist es der Hüfte-Hopfenhuhntanz!

And I thought I'd seen everything when I saw the nuclear-polka Brave Combo Chicken Dance.

I took qDot 's suggestion and looked at Olliver's other videos... Ooer and double-ooer.

Wow, he's singing "Informer." Somehow I doubt there's "12 inches of snow" waiting for us backstage.
