I'm a little surprised that d2 got sucked into arguing endlessly about moderation. I would have guessed that he would find more joy in ridiculing people who come here only to complain about moderation.


by DonkJr P

You mean sad that he is banned at all? I agree! 😀

What he said deserved a few days. Just glad it's not permanent.


Yeah, I think d2 is one of the better posters here. He just can't let some stuff go sometimes.

I thought it was for not doing his complaining in the moderation thread. (Oops, it's closed.)

yea exactly. but she didnt have any serrious impact did she? not sure if bobo is aware of this, without him eminem woudlnt have happened. vanilla brought rap into everyones household. he made everyone rap in the streets.
we have to thank him for paving the way to masterpieces like this and/ or any rap into music mainstream.


The Beasie Boys and RunDMC say Hi.

Spoken like a dude who has never even heard of Rapper’s Delight

lmao beastie boys... 😆

that is more noise than music imo. I cannot even listen to them anymore, I just tried.
liked them as a teen. they are more like punk music, or crossover. more like shouting gives me headache now.
nothing to do with hip hop or rap really.

run dmc didnt do the job either. they all impacted each other and paved the way somewhat, but pale in comparison to the
impact vanilla ice had for future rap music. thanks to him every little white kid was rapping under the christmas tree.

you should read this. there is a debate ongoing.

I guess someone had to replace Jeremy Lin.


You all have trash taste in hip-hop.


Vanilla Ice made a huge impact to the music scene. hes the ultimate OG who catapulted rap into everyones awareness.
eminem any a huge number of artist wouldnt even exist today without him.

can you still listen to beastie boys, bobo?

no? are you grooving to ice ice baby when its played on the radio?

White people are guests in the house of hip hop that black people built. Eminem has publicly admitted the same. The only people who were unaware of rap by 1990 were white people. Vanilla ice is a pop rap plagiarist and I’m not at all surprised that’s your vibe.

Trash taste is one thing. Simping for the human equivalent of a razzie award is quite another.


I legit have never seen anything like this. Which terrible rapper is washoe going to stan for next? I was going to suggest Ja Rule, but as terrible as he was, he might have been too good for washoe. Maybe Rico Suave? Marky Mark? Benzino?

Ja Rule? terrible rapper? lol Ja Rule is one of most successful rappers of all times.
but I am not a big fan of his.
these rappers I showed are all top of the rap charts. taste is obviously subjective.
saying these artists are bad rapper when they are regarded as good by fellow peers is lol

Who do you like? Thats all easy to say when you never say who you like.

You believe that Ja Rule is widely regarded by his peers as a good rapper? I have bad news for you. If you are measuring by sales, should I also assume that you believe that Bud Light is an elite beer.?

I guess that I shouldn't be surprised. You believe that Vanilla Ice still has his finger on the pulse.


Middle class white dude here. Run DMC and Beastie Boys were the **** in junior high school. NWA was it when it came out. Vanilla Ice was never taken seriously, he ****ing stole a riff and didn't give credit where it was due. **** that guy. Do his politics suck now?


Isn't vanilla ice fixing toilets or something now?

which of his peers does regard him as a bad rapper?
people loved him and still do. you dont make it to the rap charts when youre a bad rapper.
anology to beer is bad imo. I dont know whats up with bud light, but there is nothing better available, price?
music is different, people buy it or switch stations if they dislike it, which they did not with Ja Rule.
clubs were playing him nonstop. they wouldnt have done so if he was bad.


you guys should tell us who you regard as a good artist.
anything else is one sided and stupid.
Im not interested in this conversation unless you do so.

If you call creating a large business empire fixing toilets and worth 12 million. Not bad for what may be the most hated Rapper


Ja Rule is a scammer. Sold a metal sleeve for your credit card that was like 100 a month then promoted Fyre festival. Dude is a clown.

Not vanilla ice.


Washoe's takes on hip hop might be the dumbest things he has posted yet, and that is seriously impressive when you take a look at his body of work. Holy ****, dude, wtf are you smoking?

"Some rabbis say jews shouldn't live in Israel until the messiah comes. They may be right! Holy crap this proves that israeli jews must be doing something wrong!"

Sorry the hiphop comments may be dumb, but absolutely nothing will top that
