Most hip-hop heads are all but too familiar with the rumored beef between Vanilla Ice [Rob Van Winkle], and former Deathrow records head Suge Knight, you know the man behind Tupac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and a host of others.

I’m being kind by alluding to a beef because rumor has it that the situation was much more dynamic. Word on the street is that Knight formed his own music-publishing company, and allegedly made his first big fortune in the business by coercing Vanilla Ice into signing over royalties from his smash hit “Ice Ice Baby” owing to material that he supposedly sampled from one of Knight’s company associates. (The possibly apocryphal story holds that Knight held Ice by his ankles off of a 20th-floor balcony, though in Ice’s version, the threat was more implied.)

Fast forward to 2008 and it seems that everyone has let by gones be by gones as Suge, Vanilla and Ja Rule were all photographed poppin bottles together recently at an event. I guess now that Suge has lost his mojo, and Ja –Rule is struggling to remain a top selling rapper, and since Vanilla is well you know…I guess there’s no point in holding any bad blood right?
