Who The F*** Were The Whooliganz?
Posted on October 30, 2006 1:05 AM
So the other day I was digging around the internet and I found some pretty crazy shit- a duo of rich Beverly Hills white teenagers that called themselves The Whooliganz. While in the early nineties the group had a reeeeeeal short run in the emcee game, both of them went to enjoy later success doing some other things...
The group put out a single in 1993 called “Put Your Handz Up.” The single was produced by DJ Muggs, after B-Real discovered them and invited them to roll with Soul Assassins. Tommy Boy records initially took interest in the group, but after the single didn’t do very well, they dropped the group. Muggs is a sick producer, and always has been, so of course the beat is on point. But as you might guess, the lyrics are fairly weak.
Now comes the crazy part...
The two rappers in the group were actor James Caan’s son Scott Caan -- who went on to have a career in acting (he played one of the mormon brothers from "Ocean’s Eleven" and "Ocean’s Twelve" -- and The Alchemist, who after learning the ropes from Muggs, quit rapping (save for a couple verses that have shown up in the last decade) and went on to become one of the dopest West Coast producers of our time.
Check the video out... the shit’s pretty funny.

anywho, thats crazy about Scott Caan bein in that group, but i figured Alchemist probably came up like that.
WAIT.....THW WHOOLIGANZ WERE WHITE?!?!?
Sohh Eighty ... man you and Ron Mexico rule the shit over that fagget Reckless ...
And when are we going to see a Sohh Left Coast blog on Psycho Realm, Sick Symphonies or even the great vato B Real ...
B Real has been one of the most central players in west coast hip hop for the last ten years ... the people he has brought to fame have become wide cultural phenomenons ... crossing over seamless 'races' ...
Yeah ... Big up to B Real ... true West Coast veteran
DAMN WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT
@SOHH Eighty:
Very insightful... I knew about Alchemist collaborating with the Soul Assassins, but I thought that that was were he began. He's really come up since those days.
But I had NO idea that Scott Caan tried to rap. But now that I look at him, he looks like one of them silly muthafuckas who would try some shit like that. I wonder why neither of them mentions their start or their acquaintance. They could have been the next House of Pain or some shit.
NIGGA....R U SERIOUS...The GAME leaks about 4 songs from his soon to be classic CD and you talking about WHO?

Damn I thought NY was at least in the top 20 most dangerous cities. But then again, where did that info come from?
No offense Eighty but how was that video funny these white dudes were wilding out in that video slam dancing and shit that proves these dudes werent pussy I heard this song along time ago but never seen the video I thought one of them dudes, I think is alchemist sounded like the beastie boys.So they werent street but you could tell they were having fun in that vid.These dudes were dressed up like taggers except for scott caan but if they were rich white kids trying to come up fuck it I guess they were tryimg to be the white version of "Kriss Kross" and you know there shit was selling so I guess they tried the same thing.
That dude Alchemist is a good producer by the way So he still gets props on that one.

Alchemist isn't white...he is a devil Jew.
Yo Wade, he got that shit off the MSN page headlines
that list of dangerous cities is per capita. Since there are a greater number of nonviolent offenders in NY in comparison to violent criminals, they're rating is lower than a smaller city with high crime. I was raised in Rochester,NY and shit is just getting bad up there for real. I live in a decent neighborhood in Brooklyn and it's not as bad as when I go back home. Niggas are wildin' out in Upstate nowadays.
I can't believe y'all didn't know that sh*t...any Cypress/SA fan know's thats how Alc came up... Alc ain't a bad rapper for a producer but it's good he sticks to the beats coz he's ill with it... don't forget to cop B-Real's solo joint too... one of the most slept on MC's ever! Oh' yeah... this statement "and yes he is a white suburb sheltered rich white kid like the rest of these white kids that like hip-hop and claim to be down with the black culture" is fukn stupid... don't generalise my man, Hip Hop saved me as a young boy, a poor young white boy that was anything but sheltered... hate me if you want but I claim hip hop like I claim my family. It's my life.
