3rd Bass = Best whiteboys to do it? Meh.

[S.Blake]

Why do people always get caught up in the nostalgia thing with claiming that Serch and Pete Nice where the best whiteys to do it? Just because they where the only or first whiteys on a major like DefJam in the late 80s, early 90s?

I think most folks would agree. The best for that era. Not now of course.

Plus, Serch was always too busy wanting to show people his "ghetto pass" (really he tried to be down too hard) where Pete was really the one who made the group.

I don't know anything about that. Serch did a freestyle on a internet radio show last year and it was GREAT.

As much as i like them, there´s always those Brooklyn dudes Non Phixion or Copywrite from Ohio to name a few, those dudes have way better delivery and content is one thing you can always argue about but even there i feel like theres way better dudes..whats that italo from State Island? JoJo Pellegrino?

Apples and oranges man! 3rd Base is from the late 80s early 90s. Non fixion is like 95, and copyright is a nOOb in comparison, 2002!

Besides G Rap or Masta Ace, fucking best delivery in the game, period right now.

What do G Rap and Ace have to do with the White boys?

Off the top of my head I can think of a few folks better than Non Phixion and Copyright. IMHO...

[rockologist]

why are you so hung up on race?

Man, i know a lot of dudes who claim that..really i think its something like "wow, we finally made it, first crackers in the game to get props".

Nonrelated:

Did you read the Serch story on how Hammer put a hit out on them for dissing his momma? lol´z.

High and Mighty

Mad Child

fuck yes.


and how would 3rd Bass beat the Beastie Boys? other than the fact they haven't been "strictly hip hop"

[drunkenmasta]

Blake, youre rightr baout the apples and oranges thing, i didnt even think about this at the moment..as far as Ace and GRap, i feel like they are some of the dudes who got like the best flow out there..

Beasties...is there anythign bad people can say about the beasties? Not that i have something bad to say but its just always been hip to like them..

[danstiles]

The Beastie Boys. Period.

[S.Blake]

I, myself, don't consider Beastie Boys Hip Hop. I do consider them better than 3rd Base!

If I recall correctly, Serch tried to be apart of the Beastie Boys when he first hit the scene. Eventually he hooked up with Nice and Richie Rich to form 3rd Base. Because the beasties wouldn't have anything to do with Serch in the begging that started the whole feud between the groups.

every beastie boy song: (one beastie) blah blah blah blah blah blah blah (all 3 beasties) BLAH!!!!!

MF Doom was on the Cactus Album. As far as rapping white boys, I'm a big fan of Cage (and all of the Def Jux dudes). FYI, G Rap and Masta Ace don't even make the top 50.

Red, Yellow, or Blue....Aesop is ruling the roost ya'll -

Adrock is one of my all-time favorite emcees. No, I'm not joking. Like Guru said, "it's mostly the voice." He's the dictionary definition of "amped". A verse from him is an exclamation point. In my opinion.

Plus, Serch was always too busy wanting to show people his "ghetto pass" (really he tried to be down too hard)

He did kinda reach quite a bit:
"Original man's a black man/said by a caucasian..."
"Black cat is bad luck/bad guys wear black/must've been a white guy that started all that..."
In the end, it was kinda cool.
As a kid, I gotta admit that I saw white rappers as a novelty. I truly know better now. Skills transcend race. It's all moot, really.
