But one shouldn't underestimate the Vanilla Ice effect--the defensiveness, plain on Eminem's records, of the white rapper. Certainly Caucasians have no monopoly on Rude Boy culture--last summer the Wayans brothers out-Farrellyed the Farrelly brothers with the $157 million gross-out hit Scary Movie. And the Rock is African American and Samoan. But there's an undeniable white-boyness to much of this trend--that familiar envy, from the '50s and on back, of the roguish...
