Watskeburt?! is a song by the Dutch hip hop group De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig. "Watskeburt" is a contraction of the Dutch sentence "Wat is er gebeurd?" ("What happened?", in the sense of "What's happening?"/"What's up?").

The song was released as a single on May 16, 2005. At first, the song was not very successful, until several radio stations picked it up. The song entered the Dutch Top 40 on June 4 at #8, and the next week rose to #1, where it remained for three weeks. The song was a hit in Belgium as well, peaking at #15 on the Belgium Singles Top 50.

The beat of "Watskeburt?!" was created by Bas Bron, the group's producer. The first verse is done by Vieze Fur, and the second by P. Fabergé.

The single was also released in England. The British DJ Pete Tong played this song on his radio show on January 23. After that, the management of De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig decided to release it in the UK and Germany.
