Turtle Power Or Ninja Rap?

[Powder]

Plain & simple, which of the two songs do you prefer? They're both classics for sure, but for me Turtle Power is way better.
Ninja rap is more of a party song, whereas Turtle Power is some G sh*t. Ha.

That is so evil! Okay, I'll admit, Turtle Power is pretty cool, but until I saw the movie again recently, I'd actually forgotten about it. Ninja Rap has stayed with me over the years. It was more memorable to me.

I won't vote...yet. :trazz:

Turtle Power, Powder! :P

Seriously, I love "Turtle Power"...when it comes on shuffle on my iPod I let it play...it's great and brings me back to my younger days when I would watch the movie and let the credits play while I danced to "Turtle Power" and "9.95".

I liked TMNT II's concert madness when I was younger of course, but these days the worst part of that movie for me is Vanilla Ice, his "Ninja Rap", and the subsequent sorry excuse for a battle. I'm just not a fan.

T-U-R-T-L-E Powah! Even with the crap about Raph being leader of the group.

Yes, even with that nonsense!

[Shreddhead]

There is no doubt about it, Turtle Power is it by a long shot! Man i love that song, i listen to it all the time. I can remember every lyric, where as the only thing i really remember from ninja rap is "go ninja go ninja go"

and ya, what was up with Raph being the leader there?

[Machias Banshee]

Definitely Turtle Power.. :D

[Ashangelo]

Turtle Power. No contest.

[Eiko]

Turtle Power all the way.

[Jester]

Easiest poll ever...Ninja Rap...er...uh...Turtle Power.

[Abnormal Freak]

"Turtle Power", eeeeaaaasily.

And as I said on Powda's Facebook post, the Raph being the leader bit has to do with him being the central character of the film. Pretty much every pivotal moment, every snowball/avalanche starts with his actions. It was kind of the same in some of the earlier issues of the comic.

Ninja Rap

The obvious lyrical error in TURTLE Power seemed lazy for the song's more serious tone. Plus, the fact that Ninja Rap was 'Niller Ice's best song by far tickles me to no end. ^_^

[Fugitoid Jones]

Turtle Power. Ninja Rap is good, and I actually like Vanilla Ice's music (tho I really didn't need the climax of the second movie to take place during one of his concerts), but Turtle Power to me is the best Turtles' inspired song ever.

[GoongalaGoongala]

Turtle Power by a long-shot, although I think Ninja Rap can be a lot more fun to blast over the car stereo as loud as possible with the windows down.

[TheCanadiandrome]

like u said Powder, both are classics, but i gotta go Turtle Power

[mysterycolor]

turtle power- no question about it.

[Andrew NDB]

TURTLE Power by far. It still kind of holds up today.

[Spitfire]

Turtle Power is slow, boring, and the production isn't that great. I think Ninja Rap holds up much better. It has more energy, was actually used in the film, and I'd argue more people remember it then Turtle Power probably for that exact reason.

[Powder]

Turtle Power is slow, boring, and the production isn't that great.

You're outta your skull.
The pace is fine, the turtles (the subject of the song) aren't boring, and that beat is killer. Looming organ, orch hits, it's hard.

[Spitfire]

It has no energy to it. The song doesn't get me pumped. When comparing the two I prefer the one the turtles can fight to. Nothing against the song itself. I'm a speed metal kind of guy, I don't really do slower songs. I'm more into speed and high energy then slow and heavy.

These songs are trip for me because my ability to like them at all is nothing but 100% pure nostalgia. I virtually ignore all forms of rap and hip hop as it's not really my cup of tea but I still like these songs. I spent a large part of my childhood melting the soundtracks of the first 2 movies in my room while playing with toys.

[BubblyShell22]

I'm voting for Ninja Rap because I always liked it. My neighbors would come over to our house, and we'd dance to it while watching the movie.

[Fugitoid Jones]

One of the reasons I prefer Turtle Power over Ninja Rap is because all the lyrics to Turtle Power are about either the Turtles themselves or the plot to the first movie. Ninja Rap, however, has alot of Vanilla Ice's self references about how he can rock the mic. Example:

Villians, you better run and hide -- Because one day you might not slide
Choose your weapon but don’t slip -- Vanilla’s in control with the flex of the mic grip
Rockin’ the crowd the way it should be rocked -- With the Miami drop that you like alot
Hittin like a Ninja Turtle when the bass kicks in -- You better check your level


He references the Turtles only at the end, and really, you could substitute another word like "atom bomb" or "sledgehammer" or "pancreatic illness", and it wouldn't have mattered much.
Not trying to diss the song, I do like it, I just prefer Turtle Power.

[Cryomancer]

Someone should draw Ice in TMNT garb with microphone-chucks.

[pannoni1]

Of course it will always be "Turtle Power". It hit #13 on the Billboard Pop charts. Ninja Rap did not hit any charts, and pretty much ended Vanilla Ice's short-lived career. The melody even sounds a little like the Red Sky theme as well! It has fun, understandable lyrics that are smooth and catchy. Even the Technoctronic song "Rockin' Over The Beat" from Movie 1's soundtrack cracked the pop charts at #95.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Turtle Power. Ninja Rap is just too cheesy. Turtle Power is kind of cheesy sometimes, but mostly it sounds almost badass.

[Venom]

T-U-R-T-L-E POWER!!! No doubt, all the WAY!!! :thumbsup: :D

[gobo]

Even the Technoctronic song "Rockin' Over The Beat" from Movie 1's soundtrack cracked the pop charts at #95.
Did you mean Hi Tek 3's "Spin That Wheel"? "Rockin' Over The Beat" was movie III.

Turtle power for me

[turtles_kolektor]

Turtle Power is best for me!
