    As far as Vanilla, he's a multimillionaire real estate guy now. He saved his money and invested well. It all started with this song. There's a lot of history with him and Suge Knight from Death Row. Ice's music helped finance the early Dr Dre stuff. He was considered a joke by some, but you couldn't deny the catchy hook and track.

      Suge Knight, a bitch Vanilla Ice helped a lot of black rappers out coming up because he had so much pain in the big stage. He had a lot of brothers out coming up and put them on his tour that were pretty much no names that he took that he knew that they were gonna be bad ass, and they were more talented than him. Most of all these legend represent here today who they would like a thing is Vanilla Ice, who put the money behind the chronic album Vanilla Ice that’s right 🤯

      He tours and performs each year with the "I love the 90's Tour". he has to perform last out of a dozen other 90s artists because once he starts going, the venue goes absolutely ape shit. And at the smaller venues, he relaxes the security barrier around the stage and allows concert goers to join him on stage to dance. And the whole show ends with him partying with everyone. He's pretty awesome. I got front row seats a couple years ago for my sister's birthday.

    If you were alive back then, it's hard to express just how big this song was when it came out. The radio was really big then, and the Top 9 at 9 on KISS FM was a huge thing in my area. The songs with the most requests would be at the top 1 spot, and so on. It was #1 so many times in a row for so long, that one time the DJ was so sick of it that he played this song at all 9 spots as a way of rebelling of sorts. Kind of a way of saying..."YOU LIKE THIS DAMN SONG SO MUCH?! WELL HERE, YOU CAN HEAR IT IN ALL 9 SPOTS!!" Played 9 times in a row! lol The radio DJ actually got in trouble with the stations big wigs for the stunt. lol This song joins the iconic Baby's Got Back, as being simply ageless.

You could call in and dedicate a song to your girl and request songs if you were partying and this song was in rotation on every radio station and you could request it back to back! It was definitely something and it was catchy and just a party song. Its up there with Sir-Mix-Alot Posse On Broadway and Baby Got Back. Timeless and ageless songs! I liked your reaction and nice to see young cats getting in tune with the hip-hop we as an older generation listened to. This is 90s I from 1969 and by the time I got into hip-hop I was listening to Kool Moe Dee underground tapes and Kurtis Blow and Whoodini in 79-80 then Fat Boys and Run DMC. The birth of hip-hop which paved the way for N.W.A and all the artists of that era who in turn carve a path for Vanilla Ice and Ghetto Boyz and MC Hammer. Great times and great vibes back then!

I thought there was a problem with his food but he said ‘no’. He started listening intently and couldn’t believe his ears. He was smiling when he said that he couldn’t believe what he was hearing…. a blatant rip-off.

      Pretty much every rap song then, featured samples from old rock bands. The issue wasn't that it was there, the issue was that they didn't have permission for it. It was only meant to be a b-side originally, so it was a major slip up on the labels part. Not even "Ice"'s fault particularly, and yet he got treated like Milli Vanilli for doing what all other rappers did.

      1. The bass was not sampled and it is slightly different.
      2. Van Winkle sampled the 2 piano notes in that intro...thats why he lost in court.
      3. Van Winkle bought the publishing rights for Ice baby, not Under Pressure.

The "A" side had the hit & the "B" side had a song u never hear by the same artist. Ice Ice Baby was on the "B" side. When a DJ got his copy he listened 2 the B side & Ice Ice Baby was the song. On the "A" side is a song u probably know called "Play That Funky Music (white boy)." I believe the album is still selling over 300,000,000 copies a year world wide!

    It was very cool and fun watching you react Shon, especially since you don't know the history. Vanilla Ice was laughed at for this song even though it was a huge hit. It was because he was the first white rapper. And he was good. He had to endure a lot of ridicule. He never had another big hit like this and he fell into a deep depression and nearly committed suicide. He credits the birth of his daughter for saving his life. He was ashamed of his music career then, but everyone loves him again now. He was very cool and very sweet and never deserved the bad rap he got. I'm glad he made it out. He's still making some tunes somewhere but I don't know their names.

      The nineties are remembered very fondly these days. And yeah... he really never did deserve the shit he got from people. I don't think he was ever accepted as a rapper by the rap community. But, much like Eminem, he bridged a gap between rap and the mainstream. HE paved the way for guys like Eminem, and yet Eminem gets all of the credit. It's a damn shame.

    So, Ice's real name is Robert Matthew Van Winkle who came up in the underground scene in Miami back in the day. This track was released late '91, but he had actually recorded it independently just him and his group four years earlier in '87. But, it took them four years to keep hitting the pavement, keep hustlin' and to get any juice goin' and get discovered. So basically, he had to sit on the sickest track ever put to wax into the nineties before it had its day. When you hear the early days of Rap mid 80's, it is definitely dated and shows it's age now, with exceptions like Colors by Ice T, NWA and the Beastie's all of which sound as slammin' today as the day they dropped. Rumors by Timex Social Club also of its time, but still dope. The fact this song was conjured in '87 when Run DMC, LL, The Fat Boys weren't anywhere at this level is crazy cause Van Winkle and the Miami scene were clearly light years ahead, they just didn't have the benefit of proximity and geography to Hollywood. 😊

    So, the short version of the story is that Vanilla Ice was the first white rapper to make a name for himself, and a lot of people had issues with that at the time. He was mocked as equally as he was famous at the time, and when hip hop moved in a more Gansta direction in the early 90s, his time in the spotlight faded.
    He had a very rough time adjusting to life after fame, but dude was really smart with his money, and did quite well for himself off the back of his one hit single. He got into home renovation and had a reality TV show where he'd buy houses, fix em up, and flip em for profit. He still raps as an independent artist, though it's not really his bread and butter anymore.
