TS: Ice Ice Baby vs U Can't Touch This

STOP

COLLABORATE AND LISTEN

Ice.

Vanilla Ice Vs. Mc Hammer

I'd definitely go for Hammer overall, but limited to these two songs it's so obviously "Ice Ice Baby".

Yeah it's "Ice" for me as well. Both are at least as good as the songs from which they take their samples, but "Ice Ice Baby" is considerably better.

...even if the idiots from Virgin made poor Vanilla apologize for it.

ice ice baby has soooo many more great lines

Hammer wins this.

A1A...

I'm gonna challenge some opinions and say:

Super Freak >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ice Ice Baby >> U Can't Touch This >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Under Pressure

U Can't Touch This >> Ice Ice Baby >>>>> Super Freak >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Under Pressure

wtf, "Unde Pressure" is easily the best of those four

I fell in love with Hammer when Pump It Up came out, loved him through Let's Get it Started, and was overwhelmed with him when the 2nd version of Put Me in the Mix came out. Big fan for a minute.

Vanilla Ice came out on Ichiban Records initially. I was a zealot for Southern/Miami reppin rap (duh). Was trying REALLY hard to find something to like about Vanilla circa Ichiban era. Couldn't.

When Hammer went closer to pop, I was like, eh, that's fine. Don't love it, won't buy it, but still works on some level. Then he got that friend with the grease pyramid hairdo, and a whole new level of Hammer came about (see Taco Bell tv ad).

Vanilla's contract got bought by a larger label, and they just repackaged him (much like Hammer's career), but still, new packaging didn't help.

Ironically, Hammer actually has roots in the Miami music industry, which many Miami artists have stories about. No Miami artist has personal stories about "flow like a harpoon".

Never, NEVER, understood the gen x love for Vanilla. Gen Y, well, I get the nostalgia factor.

ANYTHING LESS THAN THE BEST IS A FELONY.

"ring 'em", "turn this mutha out", "pump it up (here's the news)"...man Let's Get is Started is fucking classic and super innovative productionwise.

U Can't Touch This

STOP

I'm guessing this was a joke because it can be for either song, in which case LOL

I wish I could find that clip of Outkast saying "Hammer will whoop yo ass."

"Run up on Hammer if you want to. Hammer will beat yo muthafukkin' ass"

Hammer ftw

"Ice Ice Baby"

MC Hammer was the first concert of practically everyone I know.

"U Can't Touch This" was very obviously the least horrible out of these two.

This pretty much comes down to whether you prefer 'Changes' or 'Super Freak.'

ND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT GEIR WLD GO FOR SUPER FREAK????

Turtle Power ftw

What if you like "Under Pressure"

Hammer ftw and Let's Get It Started is a legitimately dope album imo

ND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT GEIR WLD GO FOR SUPER FREAK????

"Super Freak" is great actually. And better than "Under Pressure". But I give no bonus points for anything that is sampled. I despise sampling entire loops.

And yet you quoted someone's post

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Chuck D gave a lecture at my college in 1990 and expressed admiration for both of these artists, which blew some minds. He also said his favorite rapper was Treach from Naughty by Nature.

Chuck actually helped Ice get a deal iirc
