*WHEN THIS SONG* took off Suge Knight came calling. Vanilla goes back to his hotel room with two bodyguards and finds Suge Knight and five of his guys already in the room, all packing heat. Knight told the bodyguards to stand back and STFU. Then he took Vanilla out onto the balcony where he could see the long drop down to the street, and had him sign a contract giving Knight a percentage cut of his $$$.

I am a Millennial and I have a very early memory of the 90s of being in a car seat, eating McDonald’s fries from a happy meal, and singing this song with my dad. The 90s in general was a great decade. It isn’t just nostalgia. It was the last decade of peace. I was in 4th grade and me and my sister were allowed to go downtown by our selves and hang out with our friends. The rule was we had to call home every couple of hours with a pay phone. I was born in 87. Everything changed after 9-11. I was a high school freshman. Kids, parents, politics, etc. 9-11 changed everything (to quote South Park). It just destroyed the emotional safety bubble we had in the 90s.

Not having cell phones, you would actually meet up face to face, or talk over a corded phone. Your attention was always on the present moment 💙

GEN X here.... It was 1990 when this first came out. His real name is Rob Van Winkle, born and raised in South Dallas, Texas. The song is about Miami, as he spent a lot of time there too. He had a couple of songs on the same album "To The Extreme" that were pretty good, but "Ice Ice Baby" took on a life of it's own, and is still a hot record 43 years later. lol It was a huge dance song, we loved to dance in the 80's lol, but we also listened to "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie, who was sampled in this song. He was a huge lawsuit. lol back in 80's and 90's, we were just enjoying life, definitely living to the extreme.

Never skip the 80's. The 80's were amazing! When I first heard this song, it was when it came out in 1990. I was a freshman in high school. Life was very different. We didn't have cell phones or the internet (the internet existed but most people didn't have access until around 1994 or 1995 - and even then it took hours to load anything.) Music was everything to us Gen Xers. Our parents weren't usually home - they were always working and we brought ourselves up. Music and Nintendo were our life.

Vanilla Ice went Diamond! It's hard for anyone to hate on that (This dude sold over 10 Million Albums, back when most rappers couldn't sell 100,000). I love this song, and I'm from the hood (NYC - Brownsville, Brooklyn).

[@777slynn]

Another "white" rap song you should hear is "Informer" by Snow. It was the 90s when it came out. You might like it. Also, life during this time was fun and simple. There was no social media, cell phones were new and not everyone had one, but the music was amazing. You have to remember that this song came out around the time that Tupac, Biggie, Eric B. and Rakim, LL Cool J, NWA, Dr. Dre, Snoop, etc. were also on the radio. So this song was OK. It didn't really stand out in the way it might now. It was one of many.

I’m in the UK and when we got to a friends house we had to do what was known as “3 rings” to let our parents know we’d arrived and were safe.

I was a sophomore in high school when this came out, it was a huge hit. This was released in 1990 but didn't go crazy on the radio till later in the year. This was not an 80's song but yes the 80's were amazing! His song "Play That Funky Music" hit #4 on Billboard and was a 1989 song. So he had 2 top-ten songs. Play That Funky Music was his first release and it was re-released with the success of Ice Ice Baby and it did much better the second time around. So, the long answer to your question is he wasn't a one-hit wonder and he even had his own movie "Cool As Ice" in 1991.

I was in High School when this song was popular and I had a friend who had an extensive knowledge and appreciation of music with a collection to match. He was invited to DJ at one of our high school dances once and he purposefully messed with everyone by playing Under Pressure by Queen & Bowie instead of this song. The beat started and everyone got all hyped and then quickly became confused and disappointed when the singing began. It was a legendary moment in my small town high school experience. I think about it every time I hear Under Pressure play on the radio and it still does, because it's a much better song.

? It's called sampling music..everyone does it..way b4 ice..current music samples or redoing whole song,and it sucks. 80s.90s early 2000s killing it.

[@andreasmith6528]

@@macadonis9242 Well, the court called it theft of intellectual property. Queen gave Ice a nice way out, but you can’t take that much of someone else’s music without permission.

[@macadonis9242]

@andreasmith6528 ice bought it he owns it all now..and plenty sample whole songs. Some pay some don't. Only really if the song becomes a hit,then they want cash. Ice still gets 3 to 4 million every year worldwide just off the to the extreme album.

[@macadonis9242]

@andreasmith6528 they settled out of court..paid David bowie also..money talks,as they say.

FUN FACT: he wrote this song when he was 16 years old! Over 30+ years ago. The MOST SOLD Hip Hop/Rap song in the world with over a half of BILLION sold. He had other hits too. This song is timeless.

[@TheHenneydan]

80s was great, but 90s will be the greatest generation of music/ entertainment. Last year before computers and internet destroyed it.

[@TheMarrowMan]

He wrote this when he was 16, and it's sold almost half a billion records. Best selling rap album of all time. He has 7 #1 hits and a film.

Man, you gotta listen to "Passin' Me By" by The Pharcyde, "They Reminisce Over You" by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, and "Can I Kick It?" by A Tribe Called Quest. All bangers!

[@jamesgeorge5276]

The decade of the 80s was the absolute bomb as well as the 90s!! Whoever said skip the 80s probably didn't experience that era and don't know what they're talking about!! You can never skip the 80s!!!

[@ratzygirl0825]

I did not like rap until I heard this song. I can still remember the lyrics and beat.

[@michaelherring1411]

Vanilla the OG of white rappers.

[@jesses5463]

Well rap wasn't all that mainstream before this. It was mostly a niche genre before "U Can't Touch This" and this song came out in 1990.

[@kimtalley4496]

To quote lyrics from Bob Seger today's music ain't got the same soul like that old time rock n roll. I love 70-90s music. I'm a 80s baby but 70s music is sooo good. Love 80s & 90s music 2.

[@mommamak6164]

Definitely don't skip the 80s! The 70s & 80s were awesome! I love classic rock, but there were some hip-hop bangers when I was growing up that I'm betting you'd enjoy reacting to. Possibly consider; 1. Rapper's delight, 2. Funky Cold Medina, 3. The Humpty Dance, 4. Jump Around, 5. Walk This Way with Aerosmith and Run DMC 5. Any popular song by Salt-n-Pepper. Have fun! :)

[@edrrobb1988]

'76er here, never, never skip the 80s!!! I love almost every genre of music. 80s rocked.

[@melvinwren]

i love the 80s. nothing wrong with MJ and Madonna and all the one hit wonders and pop music that everyone loved and is generally the main focus when looking back at 80s music. but where it really gets interesting is Heavy Metal and Punk Rock from the 80s. and everything that preceeded Alternative Rock. (College Rock as it was known then).

[@brendapoling924]

Loved the 80,s....JAMMED TO ICE

[@terrymason656]

TECHNICALLY yes, he's a one hit wonder when it comes to his own hits from his own album.. He had a 2nd hit which you may be remembering from the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II Secret of the Ooze.. Song was called "Go Ninja (Go Ninja Go)"

[@charlesroseman3309]

“Correct me if I’m wrong but I think people were a lot more authentic because they didn’t have social media” Ding Ding Ding. This kid is smart. Hes asking all the right questions too. It all started when they made being a Dork cool. Gen Z is lost. This country is doomed.

[@mareeyabsley4270]

80s people were naturally beautiful. Everyone looks the same now

[@zerores2005]

Grew up with Motown in the 1960, but I loved 80s music too.

[@James-ih7xm]

I was almost 16 when I first heard the song on the bus ride to school one morning. There were plenty of good songs in the 80s. Check Tone Loc, Kool Moe Dee, EPMD, and Fat Boyz. Pretty much from the late 70s-mid 90s was the peak of music and movies. Still can find some decent stuff these days but takes searching.

[@donaldstanski3096]

There’s a video, with him talking about this music video. He says they spent like only a thousand dollars to make it !! I was a teenager in the mid to late 80s, music was a whole lot different then. It was easy to understand and one of the greatest decades for music. I encourage you to listen to more of it. My children are ages late 20s to early 30s. They grew up being subject to this music, and other genres. They all know this song and all the words !! lol. I have a suggestion for ur next reaction vid. Sir Mix Alot. You’ll love it !!

It is refreshing to hear a young person to say that
