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.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

nothing wrong with denounce whites as devils, many of them are. i am white & my lyrics contain the word Devil very often.

Mr. Doc, one of the white gangsta rappers who can say "nigga" more often than the average black rapper without anyone bitching
