Turtle Power Or Ninja Rap? - Page 2

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Did you mean Hi Tek 3's "Spin That Wheel"? "Rockin' Over The Beat" was movie III.
