Notable White Players in the Rap Game
By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY
A few of the white faces who have made a lasting impact on rap - for better or worse.
EMINEM - First white rapper to gain wide acceptance within the hip-hop community on the basis of his talent.
RICK RUBIN - Co-founder with Russell Simmons of the groundbreaking Def Jam record label; producer of early Run-DMC hits like ``King of Rock.''
THE BEASTIE BOYS - Brought middle America to the rap table with frat-boy attitude and wacky humor on their 1986 debut, ``Licensed to Ill.'' Their music, and audience, has since become more rock than rap.
3RD BASS - Never huge, but had a minor hit with 1989's ``The Gas Face'' and plenty of love from the rap community. Came across as white boys who wished they were black - even going so far as the denounce whites as devils in their lyrics.
VANILLA ICE - ``Ice Ice Baby'' shot to the top of the charts and remains a guilty pleasure to this day. But Ice was ridiculed by fellow rappers and critics, especially after falsely claiming to be from the ghetto. Still, his 1990 debut ``To the Extreme'' sold more than six million copies.
EVERLAST - Though he's gone through a few incarnations, including blues singer Whitey Ford, Everlast is most remembered for the 1992 party jam ``Jump Around'' with the group House of Pain.
BUBBA SPARXXX - There was nothing ugly about this Georgia rapper's success. A great farm-friendly video helped make ``Ugly'' one of the hottest rap songs of 2001.
LYOR COHEN - After starting as road manager for Run-DMC, Cohen quickly became a top executive and eventually co-owner of Def Jam Records. Is now arguably the most powerful executive in rap as chairman and CEO of the combined Island-Def Jam Records.

Right now it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that the best MC and best producer in the rap game are both white.
-

unfortunately if u look at that...they are all underground...and you know why? because they are white and the industry is not going to give them a chance...even though most of them are more talented than any of the mainstream rappers out.

notable is all in the eye of the beholder...it could mean talented or it could mean most active or it could mean most influential in the rap game...i mentioned slug because i think his talent is notable.
-
notable isnt in the eye of the beholder. its just the ppl who influence the game quite. not the ppl who are talented.
lincoln arent you ashamed of yourself lol?

thats your take on it...my take on it is artists who are talented enough to be mentioned...thats why its in the eye of the beholder...notable could be a few different things.

-
Alchemist and Eminem ??
Yup
And I would like to take this time to express my displeasure with Ugly Duckling's Taste The Secret. I checked it out after hiphopsite.com praised it, what a joke, that album is wack as fuck.
I would still figure some people 'round here would be talking about them since they are from Long Beach but I've never seen their name on the main board.
