FIRST TIME HEARING VANILLA ICE - ICE ICE BABY | REACTION

[@clasmaster1471]

A lot of people give Vanilla Ice a hard time but he’s actually a real one. He’s at this point considered an OG in my book.

[@dennispounds605]

I met him in person, i was unimpressed ....But, I grew up..laying my beef down, Vanilla Ice is a hip hop OG...

[@cessaly100]

Loved 🥰 it then-EVEN WAY MORE NOW!

[@gigi9301]

I'm going to see him in concert here in Denver in a few weeks; I'm pretty excited!! Yo, anything Less than the Best is a Felony!

[@clasmaster1471]

@@gigi9301 Nice!

[@gigi9301]

@@cessaly100 I think it's awesome that he's smiling at the end of the song; having a good time and it's a "feel good" song; not angry or depressing.

I promise you, it was BETTER living than today; we dressed right, we moved, and we women handled ourselves with respect and therefore were treated with respect.

[@commenter90909]

The discrimination in the 80s was a lot worse than you think. It was still not a great time.

[@Black71Beetle]

They clowned this dude back in the day. I liked him then, seen him live about e times....to this day one of the best live performers. I like how younger folks appreciate this dude these days

[@glamourisbest]

Vanilla Ice is underrated! The dance moves are amazing. This song still goes hard. Ignore the salty Queen fans.

[@sammasri8514]

It was so popular even we rockers also hook to it..😅

[@TheDivayenta]

He had the first rap #1 - there was a lot of resentment. But hey! He helped rap become universal. Great reaction- subbed!❤

[@Froghater69]

ice was like the only rapper who had bars and moves

[@actingwoman2]

This is the best rap song ever written. That boy rocks! ❤

[@TurboLazer007]

06:25 dude I'm 45 years old from Poland, Europe. At that time Vanilla introduced Hip Hop to the world, after that people around the globe started rapping. This track was beyond legendary sparking brains of millions of people. Ice wrote that song when he was 16 man, just think about it. We had no internet, mobile phones or any other sophisticated tech. Just life bruh... Real life..... P.s. Apologies for my bad English

[@jcsmith3806]

How many rappers today can dance and rap at the same time. Ice proves to don't have to stand and point all over the place and shake your idex finger when you rap.

[@patrickg.1170]

“That girl is POSION…” haha

[@patriciadavis1393]

I have no problem with you stopping it shows you're enjoying yourself😊😊😊

[@WandaDodson-n7f]

They had alot of energy in the older music it was fantastic

[@tryagain4671]

I was in high school senior when this came out. Trust, when this song came on the WHOLE club was on the dance floor.

[@Pstaars]

I was 15 when this song came out, it was and is fire!

Hello

[@cindyv1401]

Now Rob (vanilla ice) is a first class home renovations guy. His style is awesome ‼️‼️💯 #IceIceBaby

[@nancyneiburg2737]

Vanilla ice was 16 when he wrote this song. He paid 5k to make this video. Word to your mother. They mocked him and never gave him his credit. He's a real one.

[@melissabroadstreet7018]

I was a teen and let me tellllll u! It started at the skating ring.. then we took it right on to middle and kept dancing. This song introduced a lot of us to dance we longed for, after the ballet, tap and jazz. This was what we wanted!! Lol ❤❤

[@TammyM36]

Thank you for a great review!

[@clintmorin4974]

Man you had to be there to get a real appreciation of how this tune rocked the world back in the day. It was everywhere. I was 22 when it hit and swept over everything.

[@alexzapf6422]

I had two twelves in a band pass with 2000 watts. This song used to hit hard as hell.

I was born in 90 and absolutely was obsessed. I’m 33 and breakdance to this day.

I promise you when I was in high school and this came out everybody loved it everybody listen to it and I purposely bought a 5.0 white Mustang because the song was so cool back then.

Classic

ALWAYSi loved this song.....still do ICE ❣️❣️❣️ 🔥

For more great 90s rappers that are white, check out House of Pain "Jump Around" and The Beastie Boys "Intergalactic"

When it came out this was the jam! Saw him in Chicago with Riff opening for him. The dancing was insane!! He was a great performer

Vanilla ice 🍦 was legit, no cap😮

Lets be honest, Vanilla Ice was the first white guy who showed they could really rap, rhyme, dance and put it all together well.

[@matthewhunt6525]

Dude must have swagger he just rocked New years at Trump's mar largo resort

[@sharkbites5472]

Hi from Newark New Jersey. When this song came out everybody was playing it and dancing to it. And I mean everybody! Nobody cared that he was a white boy! Thanks for the video, great reaction! ✌💙

[@KimisCat]

Flashback to my 5 yr old when this song came on the car radio and he knew all the words. Biggest thing he hated was when it turned out to be Queen's- Under Pressure. Lol. They sound similar in the beginning.

[@PC4ever]

Vanilla Ice is the whole package: smart, sweet, and cute AF.

[@3DJapan]

Now you have to do "Informer" by Snow.

[@SilverFlame819]

Haha, I just said the same thing. Gotta go see if he's done it yet.

[@susanindy6406]

YES!!!!

"That girl is.... Poison" BBD

[@scarce911]

Lol... gorgeous would have fit too..but probably not has the impact it had in the 90s charts

[@alpharob6959]

This song was hot back then it was everywhere on the radio and I remembered waited for the video to come on MTV when they showed videos I remember he was #1 in the top 20 on MTV top 20 show for awhile good times I want u to listen to Marky mark and the funky bunch good vibration

Vanilla Ice was one of the very first rappers of all time.

[@wally7856]

Negative Ghost Rider. Blondie - Rapture 1981. Why do you think it's called rap? She took rap from the street corners and made it mainstream acceptable.

[@orlanzo2621]

Ehh not quite, lol. He can (somewhat) be considered an "early" rapper because he came out in the very late 80's/early 90's, but he was nowhere near one of the very first rappers. Those would be guys like Kool Moe Dee, The Sugar Hill Gang, Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow, etc. Those guys came out in the very early 80's and even late 70's.

This record went viral before going viral was a thing.

It’s so true 😂 it really did go viral. Without the internet! I remember how big this was, and then went to see the movie he did at the theater shortly after this album hit. So crazy. Back in the day!!

[@lianabaddley8217]

The B side was just as good. Just not as epic, legendary, or awesome? Hmmm not sure. So I'll with just not as. . . .

[@SWDCHS]

If you want to see this video Vanilla Ice actually does a reaction to this song himself. Tells little stories about it. Its very cool

[@dherald1532]

He had a couple songs that charted but mostly he was crucified. Went to his concert back in the day… he can put on a show

I was 18 and all Italy was in fire with this song

[@ManuelNietoTuñas]

Ive heard somwhere that Suge held Vanila upside down from a balcony so he'd sign over the royalties to the song

[@DeWayne-h1k]

Suge did not hold Ice over a balcony but the rest of the story is true.

[@Dagrdottir]

In the UK if this wasn't played at a dance event then people felt short-changed. The minute that iconic intro-beat was played everybody got up and danced - white black, girl boy it didn't matter. When you left that was the song you had stuck in your head and for days after - for many it was a game changer and got a lot of my white male friends serious about dancing when they hadn't wanted to before.

[@rwdoall]

This song was on repeat for a year...that was the reaction when it came out

[@michele6740]

So fun.

[@valafualoconway1117]

One of the best react videos.

[@kimt4870]

He was so talented and he totally got shafted in my opinion. All that stuff that happened ruined his career and what a shame ! He could sing and dance like nobody’s business and he was and still is, good looking! Whether people admit it or not, most everyone likes this song. They still play it over 30 years later ! He’s still out there in public and had a show for awhile on HGTV ! I’m glad to see he is still being successful in his life, despite all he went through with his music! I was a fan back then and I’m still a fan of his today ! Thanks for doing this reaction !

[@SilverFlame819]

Have you reacted to Snow "Informer"? Gonna have to check your channel. 😂

[@badimagerybyjohnromine]

"word to your mother" in the 80s and 90s basically meant no cap or fr fr lol

[@scarce911]

One of his home renovation shows vanilla did, he did a home about 2 minutes from where i live.. small town in Ohio (van wert) .. i didn't catch him when he was in town ..would have had him sign my "to the extreme" cassette 😊

Now I gots to listen Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. "Good Vibrations"' 🎶🎵

Hey, there is actually a video where Vanilla Ice reacts to his own song, now 30 some years later. He also clears up a couple of misconceptions in the lyrics. You might want to react to His reaction video, so to speak 👍

Im not a fan at all of any rap or hip hop but most people loved this song including me

7:04 You asked how this hit back in the day! Just like what you see at 7:04 it was on every radio station at every party black, white, or brown didn't matter! (I'm 63 now)

[@AidenVancleef]

best break down of this video. you knocked it out

[@charlieb.7028]

He was 16!

[@GS-xt8fu]

I got to say I agree..,another brother said….what happened today in the dance? He said these folks be dancin in these videos from eighties and most nineties

[@3DJapan]

The line "the kid don't play". I always wondered if that was a reference to fellow rappers Kid 'n' Play.

[@anothonypeterson3402]

He was one of the best in Rap-pure and simple.We should admit the bad things he did-but also the good things.Give credit where credit is due! 2 kinds of people in this world on this subject-Those who love this song and his talent-and 2-,those who won't admit it. The majority anyhow.

[@RoscoDevora]

When this came out, everyone liked it, til his past came out, then u had to hear him in private .😢😊

Great job brother...looooved this song & video back in the day when I went clubbing &,, being white myself & knowing how to dance, I used to cringe when I saw how poorly most white guys danced & was frankly embarassed for them. Then I saw this guy on MTV in 1990 & my mind was blown. I'm sure Vanilla Ice will love this video review you did if he ever watches it!! Again, great job!!

Thank you thank you thank you for giving credit where credit is due. I’ve been watching some other reaction videos about vanilla ice aka Rob Vanwinkle, and ice ice baby and there are some people out there laughing and it’s disrespectful. This man put his heart and soul into this and yeah, he’s white but he did it right yeah, I rhymed that Because white people can do the rhyme and therap as well. So thank you for being genuine, respectful and giving credit where credit is due, you’re a great human being.

[@stevennutz1109]

I was in jr high when this dropped.... huge hit till the video.... once he was outed as white he was ridiculed until about this last year and these reactions, great video.

[@Alice-xy3fi]

Reaction was divided when it came out. It was a huge hit...and otoh, for a lot of people he was a joke and a (bad, very white) rip-off artist of Black hip hop...an uncool white boy trying (and failing) to be cool via cultural appropriation. He's a lot more appreciated, and a lot less judged and disliked-- especially by Black reactors, going by what the say in their reactions-- than he was when this came out.

[@morbidchid]

Vanilla Ice started out in black clubs and played for an all black audience for about five years before he ever crossed over to the pop market. So he was embraced in a pretty similar manner as we are seeing in today's reaction communities. It was only after he blew up and became mainstream that people started hating on him.
