Whiskey Rose Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 See, I always thought Vanilla Ice got a bad rap (he he)... he was just a bit ahead of his time! it's almost a "thing" now for artists to use another song's melody as part of their own baseline..I guess because he tried to hide it, or didn't give props to Under Pressure it made it worse, but the general vitriol at the time was because it wasn't his own "tune".. and now everyone does it. Long live Ice Ice Baby! That Peter Andre dude is so odd looking, he's got a 12yr old face on a He-Man body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live Ice Ice Baby! Thats not really correct, Vanilla Ice didn't catch heat for using Under Pressure, he caught heat for being a shit rapper that didn't rhyme well, using other music is sort of the definition of hip hop which had been around a good 20 years before Vanilla Ice, hip hop basically is taking two old songs, mixing them together and coming up with a new thing, almost all early hip hop songs are like that. That and the perceived racial implications of a sub-par white rappers getting international acclaim while lyrical geniuses like Rakim, Kane etc didn't even touch the pop charts internationally speaking. Also for his claiming to be this kind of street character when he really was nothing of the sort. Also for robbing the person who wrote most of the songs on his debut of his publishing rights (for which he was later hung over a balcony and forced to sign over the rights for by a certain charming individual of the hip hop community by the name of Marion ) Edited February 1, 2017 by Len Cnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny that two of your favourite artists, Curtis and James Brown are the most heavily sampled artists in the genre, I'm talking literally thousands of songs here. Snoop Doggy Doggs debut album might as well be Superfly, the amount it takes not only from Superfly but from the film as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreary stuff I like that song, conceptually it's quite good and well written it's just the amount of radioplay it got made it fuckin' insufferable. As far as comparing Snoop with James Brown or Curtis Mayfield I don't think it's trying to be a patch on em, hip hop was kinda raised on what their parents listened to and that was James Brown and Curtis and Al Green and all that game. Marvin Gaye is kind of a God to the hip hop community. Not so much anymore as generations pass but those guys from the late 80s early 90s etc. It's interesting the kind of obscure soul samples those guys used to pull out, was evidence of the depth and range of their musical knowledge in that field. It's worth noting that a lot of what The Godfather does is some of the earliest forms of rapping, Paid the Cost to be the Boss for example, most of it isn't singing, it's rapping. Or an early permutation of. Edited February 1, 2017 by Len Cnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I like the Sugarhill Gang. They seem like the kinda boys you'd want MC'ing at a party. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I recently discovered this through a Netflix documentary on early hip hop. It's from 1968, believe it or not. Excellent stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
