There have been dozens of epic feuds in rap’s long and contentious history: this might be the weirdest.
Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J recently collaborated on a rap song — “Shellshocked” — for the upcoming Michael Bay-produced “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie, but ’90s hit rapper Vanilla Ice is unimpressed.
“With respect to all of the artists, the song doesn’t really do it for me. It feels a little artificial — what I mean by that is that it sounds like a bunch of executives in the corporate world put it together.” Ice told GQ.

“It really does not fit the theme of the Ninja Turtles legend. I think you have to understand, and be a true Ninja, to possess the Magic to really pull off the secret sound.”
While Ice wrote “Ninja Rap” for the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze” soundtrack, he remains best known for his 1990 hit “Ice Ice Baby,” and that one time he destroyed an MTV set with a baseball bat.
Khalifa and Juicy J are best known for their current, popular, multi-song rap careers.
