About Me

Alright STOP. Collaborate an' LIS-en. Remember when hip hop Talked About Sex? When you could Bust a Move, Shake the Rump, do the Humpty and no one was poppin' caps? When Bell Biv Devoe called all y'all tricks "Poison" and warned all the fellas to "never trust a big butt & a smiiiiiiile"? We do Too. We'll drink up all the Hennessey you got on yo' shelf, so just let us introduce ourselves...

Too White Crew is the world's first & only old skool hip hop tribute band. We're comin' straight from the Chi and we serve up all the great hip hop anthems of the late 80's and early 90's...100% live. We don't track nuthin'. We don't Milli Vanilli your ass either. And since Too White Crew is "all-live", that makes us the only band in history to ever actually "perform" all the music we cover. And that's on the real.We ain't chest thumpin' or nuthin'. Hell, just cuz we've done it doesn't mean it's good -- so hopefully you'll see for yourself. Our five years together have taken us to the east coast, to the Playboy Mansion & Hollawood on the west coast and to the Luxor in Las Vegas. We've opened for Tone Loc , Digital Underground , Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock and we regularly drop old skool lyrical bombs all over the Midwest.For extra flava, we lob in our dopeass Fly Girls who throw down the moves from back in tha day. Yep, In Living Color style shizzle. To supersize the show, we have a grip of DJ's who light the match -- DJ Gusto , DJ Mattches and DJ Strike , who spins old skool vinyl on the wheels of steel. For the whole lowdown, peep www.toowhitecrew.com where we've got pic galleries , video clips , song list , a blog , bios and the Money Shot picture gallery featuring TWC striking poses with some world class homies.Hope you'll come kick up some dust with us and rep the old skool. It's a party fo' sho'. We'll take you back to when you were rockin' braces while watching Yo. You might even find yourself doin' the worm, the running man and maybe even the cabbage patch. We cannot be held responsible.To be perfectly clear to anyone who might be scratching their heads, Too White Crew isn't goofin' on hip hop and hip hop culture. It's actually a shame to even have to clarify this, but ignorance is abound. Be assured that if you've come here for anything other than a great party vibe and a live tribute to the Golden Era of hip hop, you've come to the wrong party.Rock out with your clock out,C-note & the Too White Crew
