Who Says White Men Can't Rap?
If Karl Rove's rap performance has caused you to harbor grave doubts about the ability of white guys to rap, this video -- a "Beastie Boys" parody, produced for the 2006 Virginia Law Libel Show -- may restore your faith:
The inside jokes will be lost on non-UVA types. But the dancing and rapping are impressive, especially coming from law students, and the production values are solid. Nice use of freeze frames.
(Our favorite joke: the "Isis" reference.)

These guys are WAY better than the NYU students!!!
really lame
No Law School Show in history was as good as the 2006 UVA Libel Show....trust me.
Also check out the UVA Libel Show Bar-Bri parody, which is one of the funniest videos of all time...
That is actually really really funny.

It IS like taking contracts from Joseph Stalin.
Subtitles?
Sorry, L2L. We forgot tier 2s have trouble reading.
My aquatic fame lives on!
that was pretty awesome
One from the same show that has less "inside" jokes... as well as less dancing...

Better; someone should post Grades Are a Mystery up there.
"Well, then, definitely Cardozo"
"Oops, I did it again,
I tore up a will
Why did I do that?
I guess I wanted to revoke it..."
Wow. Will law students ever realize that these types of videos are funny only to their classmates, and even then only to those classmates for whom law school defines their existence?
i KNEW i should have said truth.
That was the worst rap i've ever seen (if its even allowed to be called rap).
A for effort...but D for "Don't ever do that again"

That was really cool. Nice work, guys!
I saw suspect 2:56 is really a UVA student:-)
As a UVA alum, I'm saddened at how far the Libel Show has fallen. White people rapping (badly)? I got secondary embarrassment from watching this.
rapping sucks, production value is good
Damn, a lot of you guys are humorless, bitter people.
LOL....real funny...especially for law students!
they used white guys because they are supposed to be the Beastie Boys -- also white rappers. calm down folks
Um this video was part of a show that is shown to law students and professors -- it was never intended to be on the internet -- of course it's not funny if you didn't go to UVA the entire point of the libel show is to mock UVA!
These boys are cute - especially the one in blue! (But he is probably the worst rapper.)
He's a buddy of mine. Good dude. I'll let him know you said that.
i'm totally hot for the one in blue. he's a dream machine.
The rapping is kind of corny but the effort is appreciated. That said, the entrance is pretty cool and was pretty innovative.
P.S. the girls in the video are not only good dancers but are all really hot.
that was actually pretty good. definitely bad rappers, but the production and the lyrics were pretty solid.
Ouch. And I thought the MC Rove thing was the most cringe-worthy thing I'd see all year. *shudder*
watching this made me so happy! how about putting up the closing argument skit from '04 on youtube?
What is the guy in the blue's name? Any other info on him? Including maybe some shirtless pics? please...?
the guy in blue must be clerking -- I can't find his work info online :-(
pretty sure he's in CA.
those dancers weren't law students, were they?
yes, indeed, they were.
The guy in the blue is Scot Strube and he works at Orrick.
