Because what he did to Rob Van Winkle was petty and selfish. You go after the number rapper of all time because he is making money and you want a piece of it? Sure, some parts were sampled but it's not the same beat

You can take that douchebag "rapper" and shove him where the sun don't shine. He has about as much talent as a wet noodle. He stole parts of that song.

Throwing in one more note does not make it a different beat.

SFBE get out of the eighties from vanilla shyte or gtf off my board!

Who or what is Rob Van Winkle?

Vanilla Ice (Ice Ice Baby was his hit song).

He had many hit songs but that went to number 1 the quickest

Not only does he steal songs but he steals from people's houses as well.

I just remembered he covered a version of Play That Funky Music that I believe made the top 5. Can't recall anything else.

Dude, the guy stepped all over the legacy of 2 of the greatest rock voices of all time and made money off of stupid rap fans who didn't know any better, and you want us to respect and feel sorry him for it?

oh because he is the only one who sampled a song? Strange, when a black rapper does it no one says a peep

Stolen =/= sampled. And rap is a joke anyhow, the fact "sampling" is a part of it makes it just recycled garbage much of the time.

oh, so your problem is with rap in general. I understand now.

Every genre of music has done remakes and samples.

No according to that anon guy. the post number escapes me right now because this is the main page of the thread and am too lazy to go back and see his post number.

when a black rapper does it, they ask first via their label and get royalties!

why do you think phil collins track was on 2pacs rearview!

cos he asked just like eminem asked dido to use her track on his stan and do it live too!

dweeb

oh because he is the only one who sampled a song?

He didn't "sample" the song. He tried to claim that it was an original beat.

Strange, when a black rapper does it no one says a peep

Are you high, or can you just not remember back that far? Sting sued Puff Daddy back in 1997 and won.

Sting deserved to win if he wasn't paid. As did Bowie.

This beef between the Ice man and Bowie has gone on for too long. How many more people have to die for this to be over?

Vanilla Ice should've died instead. What exactly has he contributed to music?

SO anyone that doesn't contribute to music should die? That will only leave Scott Stapp and Coolio.

Coolio? Now I know you're trolling! lol.

But no, I was going off a 'which of the 2" scenario - I'd much rather Bowie were still alive and Vanilla Ice had died (especially since Bowie was just getting back into music, and VI? What exactly has he done lately?

why does anyone have to die? Rob is a good man and he has a family.

David Bowie NWO operative - utilizes control patterns to further Gay Agenda, promote neoliberal doctrines of learned helpnessness. Sgt. Bowie paid off by Rothschild agents to manipulate masses and killed off when he threatened to expose their Jewish schemes. do not feel pity for this man - he was your enemy and we are a step closer to freedom with his death.

Death is the portion of us all.
