This week: white guys can't rap? Says who? You? Racist. What? Yes. Proof positive that white people hip-hop doesn't begin and end with Vanilla Ice and Asher Roth, with tracks from DJs Shadow and Format, legally blind albino convert to Islam Brother Ali, hobo beatnik Canadian weirdo Buck 65, some indie/hip-hop mash-ups featuring some combination of Jay-Z, Dead Prez, Radiohead and Grizzly Bear, and a #1 Record with more stories than J.D.'s got Salinger, Beastie Boys's seminal Paul's Boutique.
