old school rap question

I heard a vanilla ice song (I think it was "rollin' in my 5.0") and he says that hecan dance better than kid 'n play. then in kin 'n play's second album (face the nation) they insult vanilla ice. I was wondering if anyone knew what started this whole thing?

I think Vanilla Ice just attacked them because they were on top...and that's where he wanted 2 be. It's been done 100 times b4. But like those 100 times before, the lesser talented on fell fast and his legacy is tainted becuz of it.

"House Party" gets Kid-N-Play more credability than anything Vanilla Ice's done in his whole career, the only thing people remember about Vanilla Ice is that he's one of the wackest ever, lol.

Well Vanilla Ice dissed them because they were on top, he even said on his song "play that funky music" from the "To the extreme" album "I can dance better than any kid or play." Then Kid N Play responded on the song "next question" on the "Face the Nation" album in which they replied...

"Now it never ceases to amaze

How the public jumps on every new fad and faze

Regardless to whether there's talent or not

And most times it's the talent they haven't got

But that don't matter in this day and age

Soft silly suckers seem to be the rage

So let's all sing a song of six pence

Another white boy kickin pure nonsense

He's a pitiful individual

>From whom I didn't hear anything original

Claimin to dance better than those that created the Kickstep

(Is he stupid?) yup, yup

Bitin that chant from an old black frat song

Enjoy your fame, it ain't gonna last long

Pretty soon you'll get your just deserts

The brothers always boo you, and we know it hurts

Now let me pull another man's card

>From the land where the bass hits hard

Miami, where he and his bums rap

Wearin a scarf that's lookin like a dunce cap

Last year's dis didn't amount to much

You swung first, now here's the counterpunch

The only way you get attention on your records

Is cause you talk dirty and your dancers are half-naked

But after a while we got the low-down

The record sales started to slow down

Concerts cancelled, petitions passed out

Homeboy was ass out

To sum it up, you gotta be able to teach

Something positive if you're gonna fight for free speech

Comin from the 2 that's never fessin

(Very well said!) Thank you - next question"
