Pretty Fly For A White Guy

I love this song.  The Offspring is one of my favorite punk bands, from Huntington Beach, where I used to live.  I had a few beers with the band once, a couple years before they became famous.  Anyhow, this song, from the late 90's, is making fun of white kids who try to act gangsta.  There are a few good white rappers, like the Beastie Boys, Eminem, and even my skateboarder friend Chris Gentry.  But when white kids from the suburbs try to pretend they're from the 'hood, it just looks stupid.  That's what this song is all about.  There's nothing wrong with listening to rap/hip hop, but just don't try to be something you're not.
