"Ice Ice Baby" is a hip hop song by American rapper Vanilla Ice, and DJ Earthquake. It was based on the bassline of "Under Pressure" by British band Queen and British singer David Bowie, who did not receive songwriting credit or royalties until after it had become a hit. Released on his debut album, To the Extreme, it is his best known song. It has appeared in remixed form on Platinum Underground and Vanilla Ice Is Back! A live version appears on the album Extremely Live, while a nu metal version appears on the album Hard to Swallow, under the title "Too Cold".
"Ice Ice Baby" was first released as the B-side to Vanilla Ice's cover of "Play That Funky Music", but the single was not initially successful. When disc jockey David Morales played "Ice Ice Baby" instead, it began to gain success. "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard Hot 100. Outside of the United States, "Ice Ice Baby" topped the charts in Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom, thus helping the song diversify hip hop by introducing it to a mainstream audience.
Robert Van Winkle, better known by his stage name Vanilla Ice, wrote "Ice Ice Baby" in 1983 at the age of 16, basing its lyrics upon his experiences in South Florida. The lyrics describe a shooting and Van Winkle's rhyming skills. The chorus of "Ice Ice Baby" originates from the signature chant of the national African American fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha. Of the song's lyrics, Van Winkle stated in a 2001 interview that "If you released 'Ice Ice Baby' today, it would fit in today's lyrical respect among peers, you know what I'm sayin'? My lyrics aren't, 'Pump it up, go! Go!' At least I'm sayin' somethin'."

The song's hook samples the bassline of the 1981 song "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie, who did not receive credit or royalties for the sample. In a 1990 interview, Van Winkle claimed the two melodies were slightly different because he had added an additional note on the "and" of the fourth beat, an anacrusis ("pickup") between odd-numbered and subsequent even-numbered iterations of the "Under Pressure" sample. In later interviews, Van Winkle readily admitted he sampled the song and claimed his 1990 statement was a joke; others, however, suggested he had been serious. After representatives for Queen and Bowie threatened a copyright infringement suit against him, the matter was settled out of court, with Van Winkle being required to pay financial recompense to the original artists. Bowie and all members of Queen were also given songwriting credit for the sample.
In December 1990, Van Winkle told British youth music magazine Smash Hits where he came up with the idea of sampling "Under Pressure":
The way I do stuff is to go through old records that my brother has. He used to listen to rock 'n' roll and stuff like that. I listened to funk and hip hop because rock wasn't really my era. But having a brother like that, well, I just mixed the two, and he had a copy of 'Under Pressure'. And putting those sounds to hip hop was great.
- Robert Van Winkle, Smash Hits
Van Winkle described himself as the first rapper to cross into the pop market and said that although his pioneer status forced him to "take the heat for a lot of people" for his music's use of samples, the criticism he received over sample use allowed sampling to become acceptable in mainstream hip hop.

If you dare to hate on Vanilla Ice, you need to Stop, Collaborate and Listen.
role model Eminem 😊
@@smoothkebab??? what.
😮😮
@@sunsetsyndicatemusic stop, collaborate and listen.
Kinda cringe
Vanilla Ice was probably Under Pressure to think of a melody for this song.
Haha
Cute lol
1. The bass was not sampled and it is slightly different.
2. Vanilla Ice's producers sampled the 2 piano notes in that intro...thats why he lost in court.
3. Vanilla Ice bought the publishing rights for Ice baby, not Under Pressure.
4. Queen& Bowie still get royalties out of "Ice baby" as they are co-writers.
Definitely.
One of the best comments....✌️

@UCaT6qlt3CgvpyjgOX-XGDUw this Song is the summerhit 1989 I think, I was just 4 years, but 90's with Eurodance was great sound...
You should seriously seek medical help if that is the case. Wtf is wrong with u?
Are you in Guantanamo? :)
Anyone else use to mix up the lyrics? I always thought he was saying, "flown like a hawk both daily and nightly." LOL those were the good old days. I think I was in the 6th grade when this song came out.
Kids these days have it so easy. I remember trying to pause this to write the lyrics down when I was younger.
You were able to pause it? You had it so easy I had to rewind the entire track by hand, man times were tough
@@Cure444 you didn't have a rewind button? That is rough lol
@@Corrie-_- nope we just had to buy a new one, could only listen and watch things one time.. truly rough
@@Cure444 I get that though. Tape players busted pretty easily. I remember the one on my boom box wreaking them lol
@@Corrie-_- oh yea i remember what we had before the boom box, it was called a box box and you had to draw the music onto it.. times were truly rough, also still couldnt rewind it so we had to throw it away after every song
Love this song, no matter what! ❤️ Try not to move, when you listen to that song! IMPOSSIBLE, RIGHT?!
You know what? This is the first time I’ve ever listened to this song all the way through, and it’s pretty good. It’s got that early 90s flow and sound like a lot of rap had.
I am 46yr black guy from the UK London and this tune for my generation is a certified 💯percent CLASSIC...to the youngUNS when this came out bout 34yrs ago it was
what had all the airtime on radios and tv's
I actually,totally impressed by this song!!! Sounds so good to my ears till I dance with this song though am already 70.I believed & amazed with the composer of this song.....

My family think I am mad, but I don’t care.
Snuggling with hot chocolate and watching a movie, wonderful.
The coldest time for me was in New York.
I had a sketch done by a fantastic street artist.
I asked a passerby, do I look 20 years younger in this? He said , don’t push it, five years if you are lucky! 😂😂
This a fantastic!! I love this better version of the original! Two different feels but both great!! Always make me wanna dance, although Idk about my body, LOL. Not so much but do you and feel happy doing it!!
We used to sing this on the school bus as a unit. Iconic song if you grew up in the 90s

Im here because of Rudy singing this backstage
I play this song when I need more ice in my drink.❤
He sure does sing well when he’s under pressure
ha!
He’s actually two different notes off
andrewellawell9476-Ice baby is so different than Under pressure - maybe it shouldn’t matter THAT much! Something like that happened to The Bee Gees when this man had a similar song to How deep is your 💕 Love. The man won- but Bee Gees won afterwards on appeal, I believe.
omdg
@@tonypastor705 except for queen won with their lawsuit and got credited for the riff
Bro this song it so energetic LIKE SO GOOD 👍🏻🎉
Ice ice baby, under pressure!
I'm 48 now I was 15 when this came out when this came out I loved it . And I always blast this in my car and my kids is always embarrassed. Hahaha
When you’re a bird living in a land of ice.
Still slaps today
This song is fire ong

IF YOU ASK ME THIS IS THE BEST LYRICS VIDEO FOR ICE ICE BABY

Yo .. yo.. Super still rocking
In my life time I want to see HISTORY World wide live event only if they get along Eminem and Vanilla Ice sing this together LIVE!
Still a classic.
I've been listening to this song since I was a kid, and it never gets old
The beat was 100% more to do with popularity than actually understanding lyrics.
