As laughter erupted from the cubicle beside me, I desperately wondered what was so darn funny? Did Lebron James dunk on Jason Terry again? Quit anxious to know, I asked my coworker what was sending her into such a frenzy and she said, she rather show me than tell me. Then it happened, Miley Cyrus, dressed in a unicorn onsie, twerking, popping her white bum to J Dash’s song “Wop.” And! She wasn’t that bad either (if former Disney kids in “Snuggies” float your boat).
Still, I can’t help but notice how some not-so-tan celebs try so hard to be down. From Justin Bieber smoking weed and fighting paparazzi, to Britney Spears calling on Lil Wayne for her single “Scream & Shout,” some white celebs want to be down, so bad!
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus spends her off-time hanging with Lil Kim, twerking to J Dash songs, smoking blunts and aspiring to be on WorldStar. Just check out this random video of her dancing like she was auditioning to be “Web Girl” of the week.
Justin Bieber
I’ve said this before, and I will say it again, Justin Bieber wants to be Chris Brown. The petite white boy who everyone jokingly (but seriously) calls a lesbian, has tried his hardest to build a street cred. All he has to do now, is throw a chair out of a window! His “I want to be down” offenses include: cursing out the paparazzi, “chiefing the blunt,” attempting to attack the paparazzi and donning YMCMB t-shirts.
Tough Guy, eh.
Riff Raff
DISCLAIMER: This is not a joke people, this is a real artist!
You may remember Riff Raff from his stint on MTV’s reality show “From Gs To Gents.” It’s o.k if you don’t, he’s someone you’d like to forget. He’s now known as Soulja Boy’s white rapper and is surprisingly worse at spitting bars than Soulja Boy. Raff (do you mind if I call him Raff?) tops our list of the worst rappers ever. It probably wouldn’t be so bad, if he wasn’t such a caricature of a hip-hop artist– wearing three diamonds chains, braids and gold teeth. Boy bye.
V Nasty
V Nasty made a name for herself clinging onto the heels of “Gucci, Gucci” rapper Kreayshawn. Nasty, who curses like she hails from the cleanest trailer park in America, served some time in jail and openly uses the “n-word.”
Vanessa Hudgens
The following clip is the perfect example of white people doing the most and trying to be down. Don’t believe me? Just watch! (Vanessa Hudgens giggle)
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez once dated Justin Bieber–who once attacked a photog right in front of her delicate eyes. She wasn’t about that life and soon left her lesbian boo (that and he was allegedly caught cheating with a black girl). It may have been therapeutic for Gomez to release a video of her and her personal twerk team dancing to her song “Everybody Knows (Your Boyfriend is a D***** bag),” but here’s the thing, and we hate to say it, she pretty much sucks as a dancer. Not to take away from her acting or singing abilities, but, some things should be left to people with melanin!
Justin Timberlake
JT may just be the commanding general of the “I want to be down” crew. He has pretty much succeeded in his quest to be accepted as a brotha. He has a song with Jay-Z, married a white woman who has a yogafied booty and even gets to attend the BET Awards! But, we must never forget, Justin is still a former member of N’ Sync and dated Britney Spears.
