Do you realize that we didn't hear him on the radio the way you think. We had M TV like the real MTV not the lame s*** that y'all come out with lately but the real shitt hip hop music from the 80s yelling never been able to hold up to it I'm just being real about
Bruh people didn’t just like it. MC Hammer’s Can’t Touch This is the only other song I can think of that had the across-the-board insane popularity that this one did when it came out. EVERYBODY listened to this shit no matter where you came from or what color your skin was or how much money you had. Absolute banger!
I agree. I remember thinking it was interesting/different a white guy doing rap, but it ended at that. It was all about the talent. Same as we didn't care that Darius Rucker was black and did rock and later country.
He's still getting paid for this song ( heavy rotation ) and he owns the song-UNDER-PRESSURE-lock,stock and barrel. He gets money for Under-Pressure too.
I like the later rap song "boom" he did with "blood hound gang". He used his real name rob van Winkle on the track rather than vanilla ice because at that time he was trying to distance himself from the past.
@@michaelshepherd733 Yeah he was taken to court over the sample and the way they resolved it was Ice bought the rights to the song and gave Queen and David Bowie writing credits on Ice Ice Baby.
I graduated High School in 91, you have no Idea how popular this song was. In fact it was so popular it burned itself out. I still like it; oh, I listen to rock/country.
54 here, GO Genx!!! The amount of discovery for these young'ins leaves me jealous, soooo much great music in the late 80's and all through the 90's to discover!
Right .. wasn't about diss tracks.. or called bars.. story tellin' . Life ..sure .. it could get rough but the music was about the jams ... Not the diss
@robinwildheart5321 yeah a couple actually...none like Ice Ice Baby but that one song made him a millionaire overnight. His shows were full of energy and dancing. Definitely wasn't a boring show at all and the album sold so many millions of records it was crazy!
I did too- it was my first concert. I was 12. He actually performed for like 2 hours, tons of dancing, he never stopped moving. My second concert was The Ramones at 18 and they played for 25 minutes; I felt like I got ripped off. I waited longer to get in than they were on the stage.
To be fair, back then, things were quite different. The young kids understood that anybody who would name themselves Vanilla Ice was a dead giveaway, lol.
Same with Snow - Informer. I've seen several youtubers asking if we knew back in the day that they were white, and I'm like "yeah, I mean, Vanilla and Snow, you don't really need to see them to figure it out".
Right, lol. Now that I'm actually thinking about it, the label that signed them likely was the reason for their names. The labels ruled every aspect of artists' lives back then. Most of them never even got paid.
@@patriciabusch4599 Not a lot has changed. I guess there's more ways to succeed without a label these days, but "labels" now gatekeep the tours, gigs and merch instead of the radio and tv spots. I suppose my point is that if you're not a superstar, various companies still take all the money.
There's a reason this song was so big back then... a BANGER!! Regardless what anyone says..He made his mark into he music industry... with so many others. Music back then was just in another level!!
"Word to your Mother". This song was massive back in the day. You couldn't escape it, it was so huge but that's also where the backlash came. It was a while before Vanilla was appreciated again. I was a Rock dude back in the day but I loved this song, my band would cover this. I still remember all the lyrics to this day.
I was 19 when this dropped. Being a hip hop head I could tell he wasn't a black dude but that didn't matter. This was a massive joint in the summer of 1990 and its still a timeless classic.
Bruh, First, you are by far the most entertaining, enjoyable person doing these reviews. Keep it up. Second, MTV was the first time I heard this. Signed, 61 year old Caucasian man.
I'm 53. So l know how ppl reacted. We all laughed. It was so unfair. He was frackin good actually and the world just spit on him. How many ppl doesn't sample like everything nowadays. Hugs from Sweden.
Yes! I remember that too. He got dogged and if u listen to him in our all white school you got dogged out too. Called him a poser and you'd be called one too . I only knew a couple songs but he's actually a really awesome person. He's a builder in Florida and really dang good one too. He'd be huge today. That was crappy . He was huge when MC Hammer was huge too. Long time ago. I feel old 😂
Everyone who laughed at him back in the day now love him. When this comes on at the party everyone starts dancing. 😂 just took like 20 years for people to realize.
Bro this dude is super rich, he's living off royalties. The album sold almost 10 million copies worldwide. But he's done other things including having a 9 year run on the DIY Network with his show The Vanilla Ice Project. It ended in 2019.
@@ericenglehardt1966That's okay. The way I see it, it's like donating 10% of your income in Sunday service to your local church. Invest that amount & God will take care of the rest.
"We are in the hood of RUclips here." 😂❤ I saw this man live in '08/'09 and he was in his prime. He had the contracting business and the show, he was very fit, plus he was touring, so he was stupid excited about life -- his energy was huge, even though he was only doing a small-city outdoor gig for maybe 500 people. He looked confused for a split second about how hard the crowd went when he started, then he doubled our energy. During the Ninja Turtle Rap my friend started a successful mosh pit. He shook his head at that, but with a smile. He looked choked up at the end, when the crowd was cheering at his success and shouting praises. I was like: dang what a nice dude, good for him. It's always heartwarming to see one of the good guys winning, eh.
When I lived in Fort Myers, Fl in the 90s .... Rob was racing jet ski's at Fort Myers beach , we yelled out A1 A ... and Rob yelled back ... Beach front Avenue 😊lol
If you didn't know who Vanilla Ice was in the 90s you were definitely under a rock. Not only a classic but likely the most spoofed song for comedy as well.
I was in 7th grade when this song dropped. I remember kids walking around in the halls, in a trance, dropping these bars. On the bus, some kid wrote down all the lyrics and passed them out so that everyone could rap along with the song. It was EPIC.
@ he just had to turn on the radio or watch a TV show or a movie or step into any club or any dance whatsoever wether its homecoming or a wedding a or any other place that plays music and you would hear that song
He used to tour with McHammer. People called both of them sellouts. It was ridiculous. The 80's were more of my teens, but the 90's were 🔥🔥. It was just about having fun and rockin' the party. GenX still dancing into our 50's!
He got sued by Queen and David Bowie for sampling this without permission. He kept insisting it was a coincidence, then finally admitted that it was sampled. The song is "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie. in case you want to check it out.
He is very rich today, took the money from his short lived fame and put it into real estate, he's a self-made multi millionaire. He still performs as well and he sounds as good as ever.
Vanilla Ice does concerts if you look up I Love the 90's tours. Tone Loc, Rob Base, Young MC Salt N Pepa. I have been to a couple of them always a blast.
Great reaction. It's impossible not to move when you hear this song. He took the hook from the Queen song "Under Pressure" but in the end it was settled and we can all still enjoy this great song.
Thank you boogie! That's all I can say thank you. I love seeing all of your reactions to the music that hit the scene when I was young because my son is 25 and I see him with the same reactions as you. it's amazing bro!!! Thank you!!!!!
I'm 50...51 tomorrow. Im from the inner city of StL and went to school in the suburbs. EVERYBODY!!!!!! Was groovin', rappin' dancing to this song! Somebody who was jealous started the joke and society ran with it. I didn't. Ice made one of the biggest songs ever. 🍻
Same age as you and went to school in south STL. You are dead on. That song exploded back then!! I remember crusin lindberg with my 10's poundin to this.
He just did this as a offer from suge night. He got rivh dedigning & building custom houses. Very famous builder. This was a one & out deal. Then after i t hit, suge night held him out the the window by his ankles from a 13th floor high rise till he agreed to sign his royalties So he picked up where he left off. Hes a multi million dollar designer & builder of super custom homes and commercial bldgs. He gots stacks.👍
Man,I just love your reactions. Good stuff! This song came out right around the time I was graduating from high school. I remember it was played on my senior class’ Grad Night on a cruise around SF Bay, where a bunch of us were doing the running man dance (don’t laugh, it was really big back then. The song was a huge hit. Most of us that lived through that time can still sing all the words. Anyway, keep up the great reaction videos.
The bass like is from Queen/Bowie "under pressure," you should check it out. He went broke. Suge Knight went to his hotel room, held him upside down by his ankle over the railing & forced him to sign over the rights to ice ice baby or they were going to take him out. He went into hiding until Suge went to jail then told the story on 60 mins. This song sold more than Michael Jackson thriller making it the most sold album of all time. I'm shocked you've never heard it. It's played all the time. When it came out it was on the radio 3 times every hour, at every house party, I even memorized the dance moves to it with a buddy & we'd break it out at parties. Skinny girls are way more attractive. No big boots Judy's, skinny Minnies only. This song was a crossover that was played both on urban stations & pop.
I think most of us saw the video on MTV before the radio~ it was an instant success. He only had a few big hits before he got robbed and run out of town by Shug Knight . He didn't walk away with much, I don't think. He went back to Miami and became a VERY talented and successful contractor. I still love this song. Great reaction!!
Love your animated expressions and enthusiasm - this indeed was a bangin' tune back in the day. Still sounds good. Didja notice the 5.0 on the side of the white convertible? that was a Mustang 5.0, hot car back then
why? why would you ever wish that on someone. I’m sure he’s never heard snow and hopefully he never does, unlike this song he’s heard his whole life and pretends like this is the first time he heard it
@ I never mentioned anyone in his pear groups I mentioned the radio TV shows movies clubs dances elevators restaurants coffee bars you hear this song for the last 35 years which is why he’s listening to it today presumably for the first time which again I highly doubt
This song changed the industry. He went before congress on a copyright situation because the groove was sampled from Queen. He argued that he changed it enough to qualify as his own work. The precedent set the groundwork for decades of free use sampling and copyright payments for 35 years now.
Vanilla Ice made a movie called Cool As Ice. Saw him at a supercross race years ago. They had a celebrity race that he raced in that was in between the pro races.
No that song was first performed by the band Wild Cherry. Also the songs title is 'Play That Funky Music'. That song has no relation to Vanilla Ice. The song came out in the 1970's.
Listen, the song hits. The song, on its own, hits. Would it hit this well without the "Under Pressure" bassline? Nope. He should've gave Queen and Bowie credit from the get go.
He was great. I'm 57, and I was in the service stationed overseas when this came out. We all loved it, danced to it, played over and over. Deny it if you must; you're just lying to your self. This is a classic.
Rob ( Vanilla Ice) owns all the rights to all his music,boughr the righrs to David Bowie and Queen. He is balling in the real estate and remodeling business in South Florida.

When these types of songs came out, NOBODY thought or cared about the color, we only cared about the good music, PERIOD.
This 100%
Licky-Boom-Boom-Down
I remember a lot of people like it but also there were people that said he was fake and "trying to be black"
That's not completely true, but it's a nice thought.
✅
People talk a lot of crap about Vanilla Ice, but when this song was out people LOVED it.
It's a great song.
I still love it.
although I understand why Eminem didnt appreciate the comparison 😂
It was huge. The whole new jack swing thing.

We didn't hear it on the radio, we first SAW it on MTV.

I remember those days. That was back when the "M" stood for Music instead of Moron.
@@jeremyallen9624 😂😂😂
True that, but without seeing him nobody cared.
Ahh the good old days 😢
Say what you will about Vanilla Ice but the dude left a mark on hip hop history and people still know his name to this day.
100% if you were around back then. It's a part of your life's history. This song became an Anthem. Was here in Australia anyway
I saw that dude HAMMERED in a buddy's garage. No lie
Back in the day - we never would have asked what his skin color was.
We just didn't think like that.
factz
I agree. I remember thinking it was interesting/different a white guy doing rap, but it ended at that. It was all about the talent. Same as we didn't care that Darius Rucker was black and did rock and later country.
Righteous Brothers
exactly..example Ms. Tenna Marie....Vanilla Child, that's what Rick James called her...
Right? I don’t recall even wondering or thinking about race but I’m Gen X we just loved the music and had fun with it!
Na, we didn’t think he was black because we understood what ‘Vanilla’ meant.🤔🤣😎
yep. That was what made us pay attention. He sounded good but we all knew Vanilla meant he was white.
Like Uncle Kracker, the name told the story 😂
haha, good one.
Perfectly said.
Also this was originally a B side to his cover of “Play that funky music White boy”
He is cool as sh*t today. Hasn't aged. He makes big $$$ developing properties... Mad carpentry skills. Had a TV show
Also, if you haven't seen it, you need to watch his reaction to his own song and Jim Carrey's version.
He's still getting paid for this song ( heavy rotation ) and he owns the song-UNDER-PRESSURE-lock,stock and barrel. He gets money for Under-Pressure too.
I like the later rap song "boom" he did with "blood hound gang". He used his real name rob van Winkle on the track rather than vanilla ice because at that time he was trying to distance himself from the past.

He was briefly so big that his Ninja Turtle song was a monster
This song actually came out in the Summer of 1990. A few months after Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" 😅😅
Class of 91 represent! lol
Back in the day we heard/ watched a lot of our music first on MTV. Then it came on the radio, so we already knew what the artist looked like.
Back when mtv was about the music... now it's all pregnant teens and more idiocracy
I’m 50 and does my heart A LOT of good to see you younger cats dig any old school hip hop. We was happy about it back then and not mublin’ … feel me?
💯 I still listen to Kidd N Play, NWA, Ice Cube, Bel Biv Devoe, and just about anything old school Hip Hop, R&B or Soul especially 80s and 90s.
It’s so amazing seeing young people listen to good music haha Even Vanilla Ice lol

Yesssss😂😂
That’s the first thing I thought when the video started😂

The video hit at the same time so we knew.
Very few songs back then had everyone memorize the lyrics like we did with this song. We all still do to.
L'Trimm - Cars with the Boom

Seconded
We're Tigra and Bunny and we love the boom😍
He just did this as a offer from suge night. He got rivh dedigning & building custom houses. Very famous builder. This was a one & out deal. Then after i t hit, suge night held him out the the window by his ankles from a 13th floor high rise till he agreed to sign his royalties
So he picked up where he left off. Hes a multi million dollar designer & builder of super custom homes and commercial bldgs. He gots stacks.👍
Love some Rob Van Winkle! He was a BMX pro before this, now he remodels homes.
Man,I just love your reactions. Good stuff! This song came out right around the time I was graduating from high school. I remember it was played on my senior class’ Grad Night on a cruise around SF Bay, where a bunch of us were doing the running man dance (don’t laugh, it was really big back then. The song was a huge hit. Most of us that lived through that time can still sing all the words. Anyway, keep up the great reaction videos.
We saw him on MTV before radio played it. His name gave it away too..
Still listen to this song today!!
The bass like is from Queen/Bowie "under pressure," you should check it out.
He went broke. Suge Knight went to his hotel room, held him upside down by his ankle over the railing & forced him to sign over the rights to ice ice baby or they were going to take him out.
He went into hiding until Suge went to jail then told the story on 60 mins.
This song sold more than Michael Jackson thriller making it the most sold album of all time.
I'm shocked you've never heard it. It's played all the time.
When it came out it was on the radio 3 times every hour, at every house party, I even memorized the dance moves to it with a buddy & we'd break it out at parties.
Skinny girls are way more attractive. No big boots Judy's, skinny Minnies only.
This song was a crossover that was played both on urban stations & pop.
Slow your roll bruh
im glad i stumbled across your page ..... your reactions are priceless and its a trip down memory lane being a 53 yr old male
I think most of us saw the video on MTV before the radio~ it was an instant success. He only had a few big hits before he got robbed and run out of town by Shug Knight . He didn't walk away with much, I don't think. He went back to Miami and became a VERY talented and successful contractor. I still love this song. Great reaction!!
The name gave it away directly to us as names normally at that time held clues
Love your animated expressions and enthusiasm - this indeed was a bangin' tune back in the day. Still sounds good. Didja notice the 5.0 on the side of the white convertible? that was a Mustang 5.0, hot car back then
I first heard him on MTV… the birth of music videos!
Now you have to check out "Informer" by Snow.
why?
why would you ever wish that on someone.
I’m sure he’s never heard snow and hopefully he never does,
unlike this song he’s heard his whole life and pretends like this is the first time he heard it
Nah Im good.lol
@@msabccbscnnoanfoxnewsThe man is 25 years old. I'm guessing no one in his peer group is crankin' Vanilla Ice. smh
@ I never mentioned anyone in his pear groups I mentioned the radio TV shows movies clubs dances elevators restaurants coffee bars you hear this song for the last 35 years which is why he’s listening to it today presumably for the first time which again I highly doubt
lol that dude was a dork
Loved your reaction! So fun to see someone experiencing this for the first time. It is a classic!
Kool Moe Dee- Wild, Wild West!
How can you have lived this long and not heard this song
He’s made his mark on history and should be respected. The 90’s were a special time.
This song changed the industry. He went before congress on a copyright situation because the groove was sampled from Queen. He argued that he changed it enough to qualify as his own work. The precedent set the groundwork for decades of free use sampling and copyright payments for 35 years now.
This song was legendary in the day
"Spinning smoother than Michael Jackson" is a huge compliment on his dance skills.
Vanilla Ice made a movie called Cool As Ice. Saw him at a supercross race years ago. They had a celebrity race that he raced in that was in between the pro races.
Bro, I have missed your reactions so much!!
Great to see you back!
Same energy, but you look healthier!
Happy to hang in the hood. As long as we are having a great time location (and sound quality😊) are less important.❤
Haven't heard that tune in quite a while. I really had a blast watching this reaction. 👍🏻
He had a song, " Play that funky music white boy!" That was another good song of his, too !
No that song was first performed by the band Wild Cherry. Also the songs title is 'Play That Funky Music'. That song has no relation to Vanilla Ice. The song came out in the 1970's.
@@andrewweldy7508 So many haters of Wild Cherry in the day. :)
I love your facial expressions! Makes me feel the music for the 1st time once again :D
I believe he wrote these lyrics when he was 16 years old.❤
15 years old
@@randywells4583 He told that he was 16. Just watch his reaction to his own video.
Loved MTV back in the days ❤
I love seeing "Collaborate and Listen" stickers on STOP signs.
One of my favorite songs of all time
I still to this day rock with one of my all time favs
🤗 🤓 😎
ICE ICE BABY
Your reaction was fantastic, and you've earned a new subscriber here1
back in the day we just liked the music we didn't equate race . that's sht started 2009
I still listen to this to this day. It’s a great track and his flow is fire.
Listen, the song hits. The song, on its own, hits. Would it hit this well without the "Under Pressure" bassline? Nope. He should've gave Queen and Bowie credit from the get go.
This.
He was great. I'm 57, and I was in the service stationed overseas when this came out. We all loved it, danced to it, played over and over. Deny it if you must; you're just lying to your self. This is a classic.
Rob ( Vanilla Ice) owns all the rights to all his music,boughr the righrs to David Bowie and Queen. He is balling in the real estate and remodeling business in South Florida.
