    Default White Rappers

    Yes, this is a discussion on white rappers. Mainly, who is the best white rapper ever? I present to you the contenders (at least those I could think of):



    Vanilla Ice
    Sure, he stole most of his thunder from David Bowie, but who can dismiss Ice, Ice Baby and Cool as Ice?



    Snow
    Some amount of words for ya: "I lick ya boom boom down". That's all you need to know about Mister Informer.



    Everlast
    He got his first dosage of fame as part of House of Pain, but he hit it big in the late 1990s with his album Whitey Ford Sings the Blues.




    Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit); Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park)
    Love 'em or hate 'em, these two were at the forefront of the rap-metal storm that swept through the music scene at the turn of the century.



    Eminem
    Probably the most controversial rapper ever, but also one of its best.



    Mike D, MCA and Ad-Rock: The Beastie Boys
    Mostly harmless, but numerous catchy tunes have withstood the test of time.



    Zack de la Rocha (Rage Against the Machine)
    The voice of the most politically charged band in our generation.

    I dont like most of Eminem's songs, but Lose Yourself is pretty good, and for that, I'll vote for him. I like that song because its talkin about his personal struggles of being a star and yet being so spiritually depraved at the same time- good message, and it'd be even better if he didnt cuss in it. However, I still enjoy listening to the song.

    Mike Shinoda isn't white.

    I'll go with the Beastie Boys.

    Well, then, someone can edit the poll. It just shows you how much attention I pay to Linkin Park.

    Mike Shinoda is Japanese/Russian in ethnicity. So, technically, he's half-white.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    What about M-Buster, Teksus Rainja, and their Wutai Clan?

    Bah, where's Sole? And to a lesser degree, Eyedea? Not that anybody here's probably heard of them, but they are the best (white) rappers.

    For me, it'd have to be Joe "Violent J" Bruce of the ICP.

    Fred Durst is a mockery of every living being on this planet...

    I'll just say Everlast, because I really love "What It's Like" by him.

    Oh yeah, and Mike Shinoda killed Linkin Park. They weren't bad before he started being the rap nazi (the first album was great because he was barely rapping) and killing the rest of the albums.

    I chose Vanilla Ice, mainly because of "Ice, Ice Baby" you can hate the song to death, but the fact remains, it sold over 3 million copies.
    I personally don't like Vanilla Ice, but he's one of the best sellin' rappers of the 90's.

    The only rap songs I've ever liked came from Eminem.

    But I voted for Snow, because a white Canadian guy rapping utter nonsense in a raggae accent is clearly a sign of the apocalypse.

    Vanilla Ice makes me laugh more than any of the others, so I choose him.

    M & M[s]. He has some nice raps with some cute ditties as the chorus.
    Not the appropriate thing to say, though.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I voted other.

    Because Buck 65 isn't on that list, and he's the only white rapper I can stand.
