The Ones I know well enough to comment on;

 

Beastie Boys: I always enjoyed them and thought they were alot of fun to listen to. Their last album wasn't the best but they've had alot of songs that I consider essential for parties.

 

Eminem: I think he has all the talent in the world but is incredibly immature. I enjoy his rap except for his gay bashing and negative stance towards women, which unfortunetly seem to take up too much of his cd's.

Beastie Boys -

I haven't enjoyed anything of theirs past Licensed to Ill, unfortunately, save for a few tracks on Check Your Head and Ill Communication. Lyrically, they're a joke most times, but I can't deny the Rick Rubin-produced stuff like "Posse in Effect", "Paul Revere" and "Rhymin' & Stealin.'"

 

Vanilla Ice -

I'm glad Suge dangled his punk-ass from some balcony somewhere. He had his 15-minutes; he should've saved his money. Seeing him today only validates what I knew all those years ago when everyone was singing "Ice Ice Baby" and going to the movies to see "Cool as Ice" -- hip-hop was never in this guy's heart. To him it was a fad an easy way to make money. And he rode his manufactured image and toy bikes all the way to the bank.

 

3rd Bass -

Here are Vanilla Ice's polar opposites. I still remember the very first time I ever saw them, on Showtime at the Apollo, performing Steppin' to the A.M. They just got thrown on stage, no one knew who they were, the song hadn't hit radio (if it ever did), they were NOBODY. Serch hits the stage and screams, "If you black and you proud, make some noise!" No one moved. They were shocked. This was, after all, a WHITE guy requesting this. He just looked back at them, dumbfounded, like he couldn't understand. "Wassamatter, y'all ain't proud? What's up wit dat?" and just continued to perform. I never forgot that.

 

3rd Bass, to me, are the most legit white rappers to ever come out. Basically Prime Minister Pete Nice and MC Serch ARE black. Grew up black, dress black, talk black, ARE black. Pete Nice balls black (I think he played at St. Johns). Serch honestly don't know no other way to be. If you don't own the Cactus Album, you're a herb and don't deserve to be called a hip-hop fan. If someone says 3rd Bass and the first thing you think of is "Pop Goes the Weasel", you should be bludgeoned to death.

 

Eminem -

Lyrically, the nicest white rapper ever, probably just the nicest rapper ever, depending on what you prefer your artists to rap about (there are still some idiots out there who believe that someone like Jay-Z or Nas could serve Em in a battle). There's no denying Eminem's place in hip-hop history or in music history period so there's no point in carrying on pretending I'm going to say something that hasn't been said a million times a million different ways already.

 

Bubba Sparxx -

An experiment. If Eminem had never come along, we would've never heard from someone like Bubba. Consider Bubba to be Timbaland's white, down-south answer to Dre's success with Eminem. It worked on a small scale but lyrically, Bubba didn't pan out in the long run. Tim's just as good a producer as Dre, but putting Bubba out there just proved that a tight track might ensure you a hit single but it won't make a career. Bubba didn't have the rest of the package, just a "country" gimmick backed by Tim's stellar orchestrations.
