Alright....Stop Collaborate and listen

Okay....so not all rappers give a good meaning to what we might decide as Hip-Hop, but even though Vanilla Ice is considered a joke at most by the Hip-Hop crowd, we can't deny the his hit song ICE ICE BABY didn't do anything for the rap game. I think that Vanilla did help white America become more involved in hip-hop and rap. Not only did Ice put a good flow down but he could dance, and that was very important in the Hip-hop movement.
Without Vanilla i really doubt that we would even see the amout of white rappers that are present in Hip-Hop. Namely, Emenim, because he has blown up over the past couple of years (i think his first album hit in 1999) . At first everyone saw Emenim as just this silly white guy with his video Slim Shady, but once his popularity grew you got to hear some great songs like "Stan" ( see the video here http://youtube.com/watch?v=NQaRw-F4JT8 ).
Another artist who is really cool is Matisyahu. He's this white guy from Pennsylvania and he does reggae. his songs are really great and you can just sit back and chill and listen. Who would of thought...a white guy doin' reggae, but it's all part of the Hip hop movement and you can't deny the talent of this man. the video i linked here -----> http://youtube.com/watch?v=hHPfUCNpxWA is called 'King without a Crown', you should really check it out. Matisyahu is a man who raps about real issues, what we have been talking about as conscious rap. He doesn't have a need to degrade women or change his style to talk about loud stereos and big rims. Hip-hop has allowed Matisyahu to express himself in a way that gives hope for others to do the same.
ONe last performer i would like to bring to your attention is a white canadian who had the hit regaee song called "informer". This guy is probably more of a joke than vanila ice. Infact, this is his only and only hit song http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fki7agpULSY . If you want a good laugh you should check it out. Even though this guy is a joke to the rap game, he does have some crazy skill to speak as fast as he does in the song.
