It’s time for another version of the LWB staple, Rap Lyrics Translated for White People! Recently, other sites have tried to duplicate this feature but they have failed to match the quality that a fairly unknown, sparsely updated blog focused on men’s lifestyle, can provide. I won’t link to those lame sites here since I don’t want to give them free publicity. But in the words of Jay-Z, whose lyrics are translated in this post, “for playin’ me, y’all shall ever remain nameless.”

Check out translated songs from Ludacris, Jay-Z, Three Six Mafia, Foxy Brown and Flo Rida below… (more…)

It’s been too long since I’ve done this. I know many of you have probably been waiting for a new version of Rap Lyrics Translated for White People. Well, good things come to those who wait. This time around, I’ve picked out five of those most ridiculous rap songs ever written and translated them so white people can make sense of them. As always, there are some helpful footnotes as well.

If you are a fan of rap music, than you probably have heard by now that rapper/singer Nate Dogg—who had a number of hits in the 90’s—passed away recently due to a series of strokes.  I listened to Nate Dogg a lot growing up and was sad to hear of his passing. So I decided to honor Nate Dogg the only way I know how…

By translating his lyrics in a way that white people can understand them. Yup, it’s time for special edition of Rap Lyrics Translated for White People!

This edition features songs where Nate Dogg is featured. The translated lyrics are from an artist who appeared in a Nate Dogg song or from Nate Dogg himself. (more…)

Hello there fellow white people.  I know you’ve been dying for another installment of Rap Lyrics Translated for White People—the original LWB feature where I translate some popular rap lyrics so less-informed white people can understand them.

Did your black co-worker openly mock you when you used “fo shizzle” improperly in a sentence? Have you grown tired of listening to Dave Matthews Band and would like to learn about some other musical genres? Well you’ve come to the right place!

Enjoy the fourth installment of Rap Lyrics Translated for White People! (As always there are footnotes to further help you understand the lyrics) (more…)

It’s time for everyone’s favorite LWB feature— Rap Lyrics Translated for White People…VOLUME THREE BABY!

If you’re not familiar, this feature is for any white person who has no clue what rappers are saying. Once again, we have footnotes to further help educate the lyrically-challenged Caucasian, but I’ve also added another feature—I’ve linked to the original song in each translation.

Jay-Z, Ludacris and 2pac are just a few of the rappers who are translated in this feature.

Enjoy…. (more…)

Rap Lyrics Translated for White People is back for its second edition!  This time I’ve gone even more in-depth to help the lyrically-challenged caucasians out there.  To even further help you earn some “street-cred” with the one black guy you know, I’ve added footnotes to educate you even more.

Gimme the Loot- Notorious B.I.G
I’m slamming n*ggaz like Shaquille, shit is real
When it’s time to eat a meal I rob and steal
cause Mom Duke ain’t giving me shit
so for the bread and butter I leave n*ggaz in the gutter
Huh, word to mother, I’m dangerous
Crazier than a bag of fucking Angel Dust
When I bust my gat motherfuckers take dirt naps
I’m all that and a dime sack, where the paper at?
