dee dee king
FUN-KAY
any of them
headlining glasto next year?
Don't bet on
Dee Dee King playing. Despite him being strong as Sly Stallone and able to take the beat home.
you have some?
all I've heard is the clip on documentary.
Just a couple of mp3s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MVU09o0fPY
I don't think that Vanilla Ice is all that bad
Compared to some of the stuff on there, he's pretty mild.
also Bubba Sparx is fucking awful
as is anyone associated with 'fiddy' or g-unit.
No way!
Deliverance is a misunderstood classic. Genuinly a great, great album.
The Game
actually rule, therefore you are wrong.
give me a good reason why I should listen to the game over any of the following, and I'll consider i
Nas, Mos Def, Wu Tang Clan, NWA, Public Enemy, Gangstarr.
I could go on. But just because I like El-P and Aesop doesn't mean I reject anything which isn't indie boy rap.
because
the game is good, and it mght possibly dispell the idea that anything and everything 50 cent touches turns to shit ? listen to the doctor's advocate, it's hardly original but it's brilliant nonetheless.
Aren't him and Fiddy having a massive fight?
I just don't like how all his stuff is about making a name for himself from nothing, and basically he just likes to fight with other rappers about who's the heir to Eazy's throne. Feud rap bores the shit out of me. Although Mos Def's The Rapeover is absolute genius.
Also he overuses those en vogue soul samples too much. Why can't rappers use a shit load of bass and dirty instrumentation any more?
they are now but they weren't before
and feuds make it fun, it's all a bit hollyoaks - though they're always overhyped by the hip hop press to create drama so it's wildly exaggerated by the time the fans know of it.
and loads of other rappers do the heavy bass thing, the game just .. doesn't ? soul samples are Good.
Will Smith is amazing at everything he does.
Plus, how can we take this list seriously when it doesn't include
a) The Average Homeboy
http://youtube.com/watch?v=TXb6bjCCtuY
b) Steven from Sheffield
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_1mQ_B3Q65c
I've been blazed!
You're right. He's terrible.
MC Hammer?!>!
Blasphemy.
Replace him with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Vaz9jW054 and then we might be onto something...
^
beat me to it
I've just found his new song!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYopkCMCSgM&feature=related
Not as good as the first, but has some lovely moments. C'mon.
Dee Dee Ramone's rapping
is so shit that it actually comes out the other side and becomes something you have to celebrate! to call his rap album terrible is an understatement. words fail me. Dee Dee was obviously taking way too many drugs and had a load of yes man managing him: " Yes Dee Dee, this change in musical direction will get you a grammy and untold riches!" Please please please go and seek this album out it deserves an airing for it's shitness.
puff daddy
should surely be an no1 for being pure shit.
john barnes
the scatman
I was expecting Fieldy to be in that.
I'm pretty upset about will smith.
I thought he was pretty good, just that his subject matter was less than credible.
SUMMA SUMMA SUMMATYME
Yeah, fiddy should'ave been on there. He's an utter disgrace.
Funny though
On songs such as "Many many men, many men men men menny menny men men (wish death upon me)"
Does anyone remember this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtoR-LXChIk
No, but I wish I did
polite rap is amazing.
No DMX?
What?
And actually
in including Will Smith they seem to have forgotten his flawless career as the Fresh Prince! :-o "Boom! Shake The Room!" is a classic of our times, and I'm not even being ironic.
Hyped up, psyched up, ready for wilin'
Standin' in a crowd of girls like an island...
I see the one I want and say, "come here cutie"
I flip her around and then I work the bootie
Work the body!
Work work the body!
Slow down girl, you're gonna hurt somebody!
...
and so on.
actually i am torn
between fred durst and pdiddy for the no 1 slot - both men are utter utter cretins. I struggle to understand how they have sold so many records between them.
What about Turbo B from Snap!?
He was as serious as cancer when he said "rhythm is a dancer."
I didn't know that was his name.
Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks. LOL
Master P
deserves to be in there, the P is for Piss-take. that man has sold way too many records for my liking.
Also where's the bird from Mis-teeq
Vanilla Ice...
Obviously shit, but have you tried to 'rap' 'Ice Ice Baby' on singstar? My mouth nearly ceased to function and go blagahagaagthgth. But I suppose he did have more time to practice...
John Leslie
Oh, I thought this was 'The 25 Worst Rapers Of All Time'.
The noun is 'rapist'.
FAIL
No shit.
Dee Dee King
is immense!
i love that track about mashed potato he did with debbie harry
they missed one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTQ6kGLGubo
it ought to have the G20 on it
Debbie Harry is pretty shit.
And of course, Robbie Williams
where's Shaggy?
...
Where the fuck is Fieldy?
