White & Nerdy

"White & Nerdy" is the second single from "Weird Al" Yankovic's album
Straight Outta Lynwood, which was released on September 26, 2006. It
parodies the song "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone. The
song both laments and revels in nerdiness, as recited by the subject
who can't "roll with the gangstas" because he is "just too white and
nerdy", and includes constant references to stereotypically nerdy
things, such as editing Wikipedia and playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Chamillionaire himself put "White and Nerdy" on his official MySpace
page, and commented that he enjoys the parody. In an interview, he
also stated he was pleasantly surprised by Weird Al's rapping
abilities, praising them by saying "He's actually rapping pretty good
on it, it's crazy I didn't know he could rap like that."

The single was leaked onto the Internet on August 27, 2006, almost one
month before the record's release date. It is currently streaming on
Chamillionaire's MySpace page [2] and Yankovic's own MySpace page.

The song has become Yankovic's first career Top 10 hit on the
Billboard Hot 100, its peak being at #9 and besting his previous #12
peak for 1984's "Eat It", as well as his first Top 40 single since
1992's "Smells Like Nirvana".[4] It debuted on the Hot Digital Songs
chart at #10. It also has reached #2 at the U.S. iTunes Store, and
peaked at #1 on VH1's top 20 video countdown.
