A common talking point among critics of white nationalist Rock music address the black origins of the genre. It's certainly not only liberals and leftists who bring this up. Indeed, there's historical precedent found in the NSDAP's banning of Entartete kunst (translated: Degenerate art), although prohibitions on Jazz and Swing music were considerably less enforced than physical artwork. Still, a good share of baby boomers and hippies recall their parents calling Rock "nigger music". Even so, Oi!, Punk, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal which form the basis for RAC's compositional grammar sound far from anything you could call "black". You certainly won't be finding too many white power Funk Rock bands, although that doesn't mean one hasn't tried. However, declaring to be "Down with the Klan" and promoting segregation all while claiming to be "true to Hip-Hop" seems downright unconscionable, especially given Hip-Hop's definitive roots in the indelibly black Soul and Funk alongside its long tradition of anti-racism (or anti-whiteness, if you will).
Ideologically speaking, white power Hip-Hop isn't too much of a stretch. Anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories and homophobia are all common themes for many Rappers, especially those in Hardcore and Gangsta Rap, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before someone in the world saw fit to forge an "Aryan-conscious" Rap that was consistent in all themes except with white nationalism.
Enter North Carolina's Hope, also known as White Hope. Released in 1994 on White Terror Record's imprint Rampage Records, "Hope For the Future" may be the earliest known white power Rap album:
MSR Productions beseached their customers to buy several and convert their local whiggers into cold, square jawed, steely eyed racists. Sadly, not even the scene at the time was buying it. Blood & Honour slagged it off royally, concluding that whiggers were already a lost cause.
But the story didn't end there. With the exploding popularity of Hip-Hop globally, other countries soon started developing their own brand of Nationalist Hip-Hop. France would soon introduce the band Basic Celtos, which fuses Hip-Hop with Celtic beats. Sadly, most of that material isn't on YouTube, so instead, we're treated to their whack-ass Rap Metal with this sole exception:
Years later, Kroc Blanc would emerge with his own style promoted enthusiastically by none other than Jean-Marie Le Pen:
Rough translation, "If you're not a cuck, buy this."
There's also Russian rappers Stolniy Grad [Стольный ГрадЪ], some straight-edge Nazi MCs that the inevitable result of the Slavlands transmogrifying Western subcultures into something to sell to MMA-style tough guys:
