You're emphasizing "were" there, implying that they aren't any more.

Either way, I'm not sure that Whiteness has anything to do with MC skills.

LOL Yeah they are still white.

Just saying they sound pretty white. Just a different sound in hip-hop imo. Like I don't think Eminem sounds very white or Haystak either for example, at least not nearly as much as the Beastie's did/do.

I'm not really sure what it means to "sound white" or why it should matter to be honest.

But are you assigning "White" to them because they are white, and don't sound like other MCs?

I'm fine with whatever you're talking about, but they can have a similar style to the "rapping" in Rage Against the Machine. No?

I've never gotten into categorizing people's voices as "sounding white/black". I really can't tell the difference most of the time, especially if there is a specific regional accent. To me someone from Boston just sounds like someone from Boston, not a white dude or black guy from Boston.

Can anyone really tell?
