Yes, that' s Shawn Wayans. In Living Color was created by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Marlon, Kim, Damon were part of the cast. Also, this show produced future stars: Jamie Foxx, JLO, Rosie Perez, and Jim Carrey just to name a few.
Kim, Keenan, and Damon are top tier writers and comedy actors. Shawn should have just stuck with being SW-1, Marlon should have been a voice actor and nothing more. Shawn and Marlon always seemed like the generic version of the Wayans'. Like ordering a Wayans off of Temu. The gene pool got spread too thin, but nepotism gave them a career even though all the real talent ended with their older siblings. 🤷♂️
It was the Wayans brothers show, in addition to the Wayan brothers themselves it stared legendary comedians Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey, Tommy Davidson, David Alan Grier.
You succumbed. We appreciate it. Congratulations on all those views in the last few days. You got passion. You can tell you made a good choice too. Your VIP and you're "kicking it!"
The song was a sample of Under Pressure, a hit by Queen with David Bowie. They did not get any songwriting credit or any royalties until after the song was already a hit. Vanilla Ice had to settle out of court when Queen/Bowie threatened a copyright lawsuit. I think it was the first hip hop record to go to #1 on Billboard.
Jim Carrey also spoofed 'Snow': Canadian wanna-be Jamaican rapper in '91 with his Rastafarian-kinda-soundin' "Informer" rap when Jim was in 'In Living Color'!✌️🥶👌
Vanilla said in a recent interview that he loved it and was amazed that Jim Carrey had noticed him enough to do the parody. In Living Color was a fantastic show, with the skits, dancing, and all the talent. Here is the short clip of Vanilla Ice talking about it. ruclips.net/video/w5zJVq2yr5g/видео.html
Yes his name is Rob Van Winkle. A lot of people accused Ice of being what today they would call a "culture vulture" but just like Eminem, he was trying to be something he wasn't. He grew up in the hood. That was what he knew. But eventually enough "real rappers" made fun of him for being a joke and when Gangsta Rap came in it was over. But Ice has never stopped recording or touring and To The Extreme (the album with "Ice Ice Baby" sells between 3-5 MILLION copies a year still today.
It's easy to lump IC# and Em together and dismiss them as Culture Vultures because of skin. And while ICE is fairly talented he's no Slim Shady. No one is. Even guys that hate his ass have to agree he's the best once they actually listen to him.
Imitation is the sincerest form of Flattery, 😂 "In Living Colour" in it's time was the best comedy show on TV 📺, the Wayan Brothers, Sister and other's hilarious,😄 you should check it out, be prepared to laugh your ass off! 😂😁😅 Peace 😊✌️ Gary
Lots of people say a lot of negative stuff about the man but he says all those ‘hood’ stories did not originate from him. It was a marketing scheme from his handlers that backfired. Also, this album was a huge, huge seller.
Glad you were able to check out this parody! I could be wrong, but I seem to recall Vanilla Ice wasn't happy about it. If you like the Ice train, you can check out the movie he did at the time 'Cool As Ice'. Then you'll see why his career was pretty much toast in less than a year. If you want to hear another white rapper at the time, there's Snow's 'Informer', which Jim Carrey also parodied on In Living Color.
Great choice! This was sooooo funny!!! You brought out a point that only a black person would notice. " why didnt they accept him?" Im not sure if the answer would not be censored. But you all ready know the answer. You do. I also think he did not live as the old school rappers did. The ghetto, the poverty, the racism. Eminem did. He also respected those who did the music first. Theres one thing to join and be a part of somethung. But when one doesnt know what it feels like, but wants to profit all the same, they were like, " no." Rap should have stayed where light and fun were a part. This begun the turn to " gangsta rap," and what good has that really done for our people?
at the time, a Jim Carrey impression would have been the least of his problems with regards to criticism. He was representing himself as from the streets and was being called out by rappers and gangsters for real. Plus he was being lumped in with Hammer and rappers were calling that a sellout etc.
Thanks ImBoogie! You say Classic Hip-hop is a breath of fresh air to you. You are a breath of fresh air to me and others born in that era. Love you. Keep it up. I've donated $10 to your channel (to start) and I only ask you react to "Colors" video by Ice T and "Summer Vacation" by Ice Cube". Thank you 🎉
When "Ice Ice Baby" was released in the early 90s, of course we were like "what is this white dude doing?" Vanilla Ice, real name Robert Van Winkle (no joke) made up a whole "I'm from the hood" backstory to gain street cred in the rap community. Turns out that he's NOT. In fact, far from it. He was about as suburban as anyone could be. I think it was his manager that finally ratted him out. Suge Knight did punk him, but that was years later. If you're curious about a white rapper who's REALLY from the hood, check out "Informer" by Canadian artist Snow. Informer was released around the same time, but Snow couldn't do a promo tour - because he was in jail...
For a follow up you should do the original and Jim Carrey's version of Informer by Snow. edit - no spoilers ... but if you can listen to the original Informer audio only the first time, then watch the video.
vanilla ice used to be unrecognised and unaccepted in the hip hop scene everyone said vanilla ice was commercial pop music and not a real rapper for example 3rd bass was also a white hip hop crew but they were accepted in the hip hop scene even by the black community but today you can listen to vanilla ice you are not uncool as you are an old school classic sorry for my bad english it is not my language
Sorry also, gen X grew up hard and just because some of us were no where near a ghetto, we understood, hard. We understood pain so we understood the old school rappers and we grieved for them because we in the suburbs, white and black, were not living near the city and had no idea how bad it was. Those artists and musicians showed us through their music but we also had those who were like, " just dance, color doesnt matter "
Gen X'ers are nostalgic AF(for the most part) and they'll come if you react to anything we loved when we were kids/teenagers. Another tip for ya, if you want to blow up even more, react to the band TOOL. The Army will come out and support you!
This skit ended Vanilla Ice's career and image overnight. Nobody could take him seriously after that and that actually made the songs a lot more fun. It's really hard to explain what happened.
I'm so glad you saw this version! 😸 And really great to see you react to all versions back to back. Vanilla's one pop hit wonder was pretty cringe when it came out tbh, compared to the underground rappers with so much more rap skills, same as MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" and Kool Moe Dee's "Go See The Doctor" songs. But alot liked those songs and became hits. MC Hammer's song "Can't Touch This" is pretty fun and funny tho! 😺
My recollection of the rise and fall of Vanilla Ice was Ice Ice Baby came out and went straight to the top of the charts but we quickly learned he was an upper middle class kid who went to art school or dance school and created his character. Then he started banging Madonna, then every other rapper in the world mocked him and he quickly became a punchline.
Hey hey Boogie, I'm pretty sure you'll laugh your ass off if you watch an episode of the TV show this video was from. I mean if you nearly the entire damned Wayans family performing sketch comedy or djing or writing etc. The show was HUGE when it dropped blowing peoples minds. So many great comedians came up and thrived through that show. Respect.
The problem was, Mr. Ice made up a rough and tumble backstory for himself.... or the people controlling his image did. It all came out that it was a lie and that's when things fell apart.
1. Nobody got offended if they got roasted on In Living Color in the 90s. If they roasted you, that meant you made it. 2. He wasn't really accepted because he claimed street cred that he never had. 3. This was one of the biggest songs of the early 90s and he got NOTHING because he sampled the beat from Queen without permission. So they sued and every royalty check he should have got for this went to Queen.
This is from an episode of In loving Colour, they clowned a lot of people you should look it up. The whole episode was clowning songs from that year including MJ.
Yes, that' s Shawn Wayans. In Living Color was created by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Marlon, Kim, Damon were part of the cast. Also, this show produced future stars: Jamie Foxx, JLO, Rosie Perez, and Jim Carrey just to name a few.
SW-1
Tommy Davidson and David Alan Grier
Kim, Keenan, and Damon are top tier writers and comedy actors. Shawn should have just stuck with being SW-1, Marlon should have been a voice actor and nothing more. Shawn and Marlon always seemed like the generic version of the Wayans'. Like ordering a Wayans off of Temu. The gene pool got spread too thin, but nepotism gave them a career even though all the real talent ended with their older siblings. 🤷♂️
I’ve seen more Vanilla Ice in the last month than the last 2 decades
Jim Carey Killed it!!!!
Carrey
It was the Wayans brothers show, in addition to the Wayan brothers themselves it stared legendary comedians Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey, Tommy Davidson, David Alan Grier.
Ohhhh baby!! You need to watch some In Living Color! Wayans everywhere..lol
I saw a reaction thing with Vanilla Ice - he said he laughed the whole time. also, the wayans brothers did the show - In Living Color
ruclips.net/video/UZjLD40cJpY/видео.html
I also like Jim Carrey's version of informer by snow
I think that one was even better than vanilla ice
And licky boom boom dowwwwn!
You succumbed. We appreciate it. Congratulations on all those views in the last few days. You got passion. You can tell you made a good choice too. Your VIP and you're "kicking it!"
That show was called In Living Color. The fastest 30 minutes on Earth every week!!!
The song was a sample of Under Pressure, a hit by Queen with David Bowie. They did not get any songwriting credit or any royalties until after the song was already a hit. Vanilla Ice had to settle out of court when Queen/Bowie threatened a copyright lawsuit. I think it was the first hip hop record to go to #1 on Billboard.
Hey bro, I hope your channel keeps blowin up!! I love your reactions. They make a bad day good!!!
Agreed!!
Vanilla ice never saw this til a couple years ago and he praised it. He even said his grandma gave him the jacket he wore in Ice Ice Baby.
Hahahah
He saw it back then, he didn't like it then, I saw him say it
that’s not at all true .. he 100% saw this when it first aired and wasn’t happy about at all
You really believe that Rob didn't see this until a few years ago?
Vanilla ice seen this and thought it was funny as hell and said he loves jim Carrey's humor and talent
3rd Bass made a Vanilla Ice diss song "Pop Goes The Weasel" that also has a video
There is nothing wrong with the song. Until about the ten thousandth time you hear it, in one month. It absolutely took over radio, Mtv, and events.
Jim Carrey also spoofed 'Snow': Canadian wanna-be Jamaican rapper in '91 with his Rastafarian-kinda-soundin' "Informer" rap when Jim was in 'In Living Color'!✌️🥶👌
Everybody loved that song in its day, it took a little while for the backlash to kick in
You got all those views because you are legitimately an amazing person with such awesome energy. Keep doing what you do!! I’m happy to have found you
Classic. ILC was some of the BEST TV we just don't get anymore and it's a damn SHAME. Best part of my weekends as a kid.
Vanilla Ice rolled with the punches and came out on top.
Thanks so much for the laughs!!! I really enjoyed that!! Congrats on the suds and views!!! You're being blessed, and your prayers are being answered.
Bro you gonna blow up. I predict 50k+ subz by the new year.. maybe 100k 💪🏼🔥😎❤️
It’s just like when you buy a car, you tell your friends you got a new car. It’s new to you.
He was never accepted because he claimed that he was from the streets when he really wasn't. He was seen as a pretender and a novelty act.
That's basically nwa with the exception of Eazy
I love Jim!!! Thank you for playing this,need something to laugh!!;😂🫶💜💟💖🌟🔮
Jim Carry the real og here, he spittin all facts and funny af.
Jim Carrey is the king of comedy
Vanilla said in a recent interview that he loved it and was amazed that Jim Carrey had noticed him enough to do the parody.

Really enjoying your reactions!!! Viewing from New Jersey
Congrats on 11k!!

For whatever reason Vanilla Ice was not taken seriously by the rap community. Ice ice baby was a commercial hit but considered a sellout.
Lots of people say a lot of negative stuff about the man but he says all those ‘hood’ stories did not originate from him. It was a marketing scheme from his handlers that backfired. Also, this album was a huge, huge seller.
Congratulations! It's going to be a great ride down these rabbit holes!❤
Congrats man, keep going!
*'COOL AS ICE'* Movie came out in 1991 and *BOMBED* hard... didnt help his case.
Keenan ivory was the creator, Shawn was the DJ, Jennifer Lopez was one of the “fly girls”, the dancers
Glad to hear that your channel is getting a lot of traffic bro 🙌🏼 nice
Glad you were able to check out this parody! I could be wrong, but I seem to recall Vanilla Ice wasn't happy about it.

I remember this and "In Living Color". Those were the days.
Love your videos. Wishing you continued success! 🙌
Thanks For The Donation Jeff I Really Appreciate The Support It Means A Lot God Bless .🙏
I love how your subs are growing, keep the the good work, best believe greater things coming your way son.💯
Great choice! This was sooooo funny!!! You brought out a point that only a black person would notice. " why didnt they accept him?" Im not sure if the answer would not be censored. But you all ready know the answer. You do. I also think he did not live as the old school rappers did. The ghetto, the poverty, the racism. Eminem did.

But when one doesnt know what it feels like, but wants to profit all the same, they were like, " no." Rap should have stayed where light and fun were a part. This begun the turn to " gangsta rap," and what good has that really done for our people?
Since you like comedy i HIGHLY recommend you watch the 90’s show “In Living Color”, I LOVED IT!! 😂
Us gen x'ers enjoy watching you young cats listen to music that actually hits and has meaning...👍
In Living Color was a Wayans brothers show.
Ice Vanilla "played it" like he was from the *Hood* but grew up in a upper class middle class family. That was all the hate was about.
at the time, a Jim Carrey impression would have been the least of his problems with regards to criticism. He was representing himself as from the streets and was being called out by rappers and gangsters for real. Plus he was being lumped in with Hammer and rappers were calling that a sellout etc.
So happy for you!!!
Shawn Wayans, yeah, he was the DJ. :) In Living Color was one of the best shows ever on TV.
Ice got a lot of hate back in the day. He's past all of it, but he did not have it easy.
Boogie I would watch you reacting to comedy all day long 🫶
Also check out the wrapping Duke song in the same name Curtis blows basketball oh my God I'm having a brain fart oh well
There's a video of Vanilla Ice reacting to this clip as well and he likes it because hes a big fan of Jim Carrey.
This is what people who were wholeheartedly into hip hop thought about Vanilla Ice. He wasn't liked. They saw him as a plant.
Congrats on the views blowing up!
In Living Color is genius!
Geto Boys! Can’t wait for that reaction whoop whoop!
Vanilla Ice loved it, he has a sense of humor unlike some others
So cool watching you discover stuff we have been loving forever!
5:20 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i have seen vanilla ice like 4 times at the gathering
Thanks ImBoogie! You say Classic Hip-hop is a breath of fresh air to you. You are a breath of fresh air to me and others born in that era. Love you. Keep it up.
I've donated $10 to your channel (to start) and I only ask you react to "Colors" video by Ice T and "Summer Vacation" by Ice Cube".
Thank you 🎉
Fire reaction man 🔥
In Living Colour is where J Lo got her start. Also.
one of the best shows in the 90's
When "Ice Ice Baby" was released in the early 90s, of course we were like "what is this white dude doing?"
Vanilla Ice, real name Robert Van Winkle (no joke) made up a whole "I'm from the hood" backstory to gain street cred in the rap community. Turns out that he's NOT. In fact, far from it. He was about as suburban as anyone could be. I think it was his manager that finally ratted him out.
Suge Knight did punk him, but that was years later.
If you're curious about a white rapper who's REALLY from the hood, check out "Informer" by Canadian artist Snow. Informer was released around the same time, but Snow couldn't do a promo tour - because he was in jail...
ICE owns the publishing rights of the Queen/Bowie hit under pressure and still rakes in poppy to this day
I was hoping someone was going to tell you to react to this.
For a follow up you should do the original and Jim Carrey's version of Informer by Snow.
edit - no spoilers ... but if you can listen to the original Informer audio only the first time, then watch the video.
Here's Vanilla Ice's reaction to Jim Carrey's impression of him... ruclips.net/video/w-YCS3YNxcc/видео.htmlsi=3-6u8aq0TprmEsLA
Finally got a real mic
vanilla ice used to be unrecognised and unaccepted in the hip hop scene everyone said vanilla ice was commercial pop music and not a real rapper
for example 3rd bass was also a white hip hop crew but they were accepted in the hip hop scene even by the black community
but today you can listen to vanilla ice you are not uncool as you are an old school classic
sorry for my bad english it is not my language
View common I used to love her
I forgot about this cover! 😂
Thanks algorithm!
Sorry also, gen X grew up hard and just because some of us were no where near a ghetto, we understood, hard.

This song and Vanilla Ice is getting more attention than he deserves 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤣🤦🏾♂️🤣
Word to your motha.
@ 🤣🤣🤣
To get an idea of the trend they're referring to, watch Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) by Offspring
GRANDMASTER FLASH
AND. THE. FURIOUS. FIVE
....... MELLIE MEL
Gen X'ers are nostalgic AF(for the most part) and they'll come if you react to anything we loved when we were kids/teenagers. Another tip for ya, if you want to blow up even more, react to the band TOOL. The Army will come out and support you!
Ya gotta try "Slice, Slice Baby" by the Merkins. Its a parody that even Vanilla Ice loves it
The song took off, I think it was vanilla’s first. Rumor was that he didn’t fulfill promises to those who helped him.
This skit ended Vanilla Ice's career and image overnight. Nobody could take him seriously after that and that actually made the songs a lot more fun. It's really hard to explain what happened.
I'm so glad you saw this version! 😸 And really great to see you react to all versions back to back.

But alot liked those songs and became hits. MC Hammer's song "Can't Touch This" is pretty fun and funny tho! 😺
It was ninja rap, rap community was incredibly stupid when I was kid. Now we got rap songs in every movie. Ahead of his time.
In an interview I saw with VI he said he thought it was hilarious.
My recollection of the rise and fall of Vanilla Ice was Ice Ice Baby came out and went straight to the top of the charts but we quickly learned he was an upper middle class kid who went to art school or dance school and created his character. Then he started banging Madonna, then every other rapper in the world mocked him and he quickly became a punchline.
It certainly hasn't hurt Tupac for going to dance school.
Hey hey Boogie, I'm pretty sure you'll laugh your ass off if you watch an episode of the TV show this video was from. I mean if you nearly the entire damned Wayans family performing sketch comedy or djing or writing etc. The show was HUGE when it dropped blowing peoples minds.

❤❤❤
The problem was, Mr. Ice made up a rough and tumble backstory for himself.... or the people controlling his image did. It all came out that it was a lie and that's when things fell apart.
Under pressure is from queen it was out way before venella ice
0:29 can you listen to "get it together" by the beastie boys
Yup. And he need to know who q tip is 😊
The song was fire,but like a firecracker. Pop it was done,thus, we felt it was pop, not hip-hop .
We be fit'n to hit 11,000 subs and we can't speak english -Even though it is our national language in the USA!
Pace yourself, my guy.
1. Nobody got offended if they got roasted on In Living Color in the 90s. If they roasted you, that meant you made it.
2. He wasn't really accepted because he claimed street cred that he never had.
3. This was one of the biggest songs of the early 90s and he got NOTHING because he sampled the beat from Queen without permission. So they sued and every royalty check he should have got for this went to Queen.
You need to check out Kim Waynens as Whitney Houston’s. In Living Color was ahead of the times and competed with SNL as far as comedy
This is from an episode of In loving Colour, they clowned a lot of people you should look it up. The whole episode was clowning songs from that year including MJ.
J lo was a fly girl on this show!
Now you have to react to Informer by Snow then Jim Carrey impersonating him 😅
