  6. Vanilla Ice-Media Destruction versus reality

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted · Edited by rawad_m

    Now I was never really a fan of Vanilla Ice, tho I do like the groove of Ice Ice Baby because of the sample of Queen

    But I just stumbled on some of his music as I was surfing for music on utube, as I usually do

    Now I haven't analyzed his music to see if theres any lyrical significance, but I don't really care

    The guy can flow and the guy can put in some hard edged material when he wants to

    Check out this song for example



    Man, this is funkier then any rap song I've heard in a long time

    I've checked out a half dozen songs and they've all got me dancing

    I bet if you played this at a party, everyone would be jumping, lets be real now

    Now, I'm not saying that he's a rap God by any means, but he can craft a damm good song

    So much from the media image that made him into a joke

    Similar to Rick James, they made him into a druggie Womanizer freak, when his songs have a greater
    musical tapestry then anyone I've seen. But thats what they wanna make him known for

    End of rant

  10. BUSH CALLS KANYE WEST'S KATRINA COMMENT 'DISGUSTING'

    "Disgust" is quite a strong word. :pound: Supposing theoretically that, economicaly, the US was improving because of the Republicans, it doesn't make Clinton a bad President because he continued on with that success.

    I speed read Clinton's autobiography, My Life. On the international front, he was as well versed in international affairs as any President, he was an impartial peacemaker in the Mid East and an enviromentalist. What more could you want from a President.

    Bush wasn't an evil President for getting rid of Saddam, but there are better ways of getting rid of
    a madman then starting a war that left circa a million dead. There are just as many mad men in Africa,
    but I guess Bush was pressured by the oil interests of his cabinet. Which is the worst thing you can
    have in a President, to be pressured by outside interests rather then have a level head

    Back on topic, kanye was dumb for a naive attack on Bush, but I do beleieve his 'dumb' attack did bring a greater attention to the situation there

    Katy Perry is one of the newer artists i'm feeling AJ, she has some decent songs, I like her uptempo ones

    Get up Off the Wall-Zapp

    Zapp-Be Alright

    These guys seem to have been sampled a lot by rappers

  23. Kool Moe's book

    in Caught in the Middle

    "This is why I call LL "The Unbreakable Master.' He has never won a single battle, yet he just keeps on coming"

    Thats kinda funny

    Well he might be biased, but there is some truth to what he's saying, I remember from those LL/Kool Moe battles, LL was almost singing
    at times rather then straight battling, it made me laugh a bit actually at the time.

    In LL's battles with Kool Moe, it seeems the battle aspect was secondary to making a good song, whereas Kool Moe Dee seems to have given everything he had in a lyrical assault against LL, to try and show whose the man. LL on the other hand, seems to have only done the battle begrudgingly to me.

    I really don't think LL's full skills were on display in those battles, not remotely, from what we know LL can do

    Honestly, although I would put LL above Moe, props to Kool for making it as fair as he could, without losing face
