Stop, before you all jump on me. This is a review of the new Mixtape by Bay Area underground Hip Hoppers, Kirby Dominant and Chris Sinister, aptly titled, “Niggaz and White Girlz.” This is easliy the most ambitious album out this year. They blend a mix of 80’s New Wave, Rock, Pop, and pure Hip Hop to take a look into the taboo subject of Black Men dating White Women. It is highly entertaining and almost reads like a lecture on the subject. Kirby told me they were just trying to be funny and do something different, but they struck a key nerve here with this album.
I know a number of sistas sitting around waiting for this mythical SuperBrother to come flying thru the air with his cape on, open doors, pay the rent, cook dinner and generally be enamored in that Babyface “Whip Appeal” type of way “as soon as we get home from work.” Well, why they’re sitting there, legs crossed and lonely, there is a brother trying something new with a White girl who “justs wants to have fun!”
Kirb and Chris analyze this phenomenom like two tenured professors. Musically it features classic beats from The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, The Family, Gary Numan, U2, and many more. Filled with many introspective skits and appearances by Z Man, Murs, Micah 9, and Andre Nickatina, they hit the mark here. Check their album out and join in the discussion.
