Vanilla Ice lives in my hometown of Wellington, FL. He is a successful home renovator here and he donates a LOT of his time and money to students in the arts. He is a down to earth guy and he is always happy to tKe a selfie or to stop and chat. He eats breakfast at many local diners, etc. and I see him occasionally at the county building getting building permits. A nice guy.

This guy opened up black rap to be accessible to white teenagers - especially with their parents. 'He seems like such a nice well groomed boy.' That's important to suburban mom's.

[@trixiedaley5323]

Yes , Rob did sample the beat/riff from"QUEENS/DAVID BOWIE , UNDER PRESSURE" but what many many people don't know is that queen and David Bowie never recorded or performed the song together... I'm not 100% sure about this part but I think that some radio DJs put them together doing the song as a mix and the great Freddie Mercury passed before they could actually record and perform together. If you watch the video of the singing it at a concert typestyle you will be able to notice that they are not performing together that its place together from different performance. So go ahead and check out the video

[@martinboyle9163]

Freddie Mercury and David Bowie were two of the greatest vocalists to ever sing a tune. To sample from their only collaboration not only took the brassiest of brassy balls, but also legitimized and provided early hip-hop the mad respect the genre had well-deserved for over a decade. Ice Ice Baby was perfect and timeless and all the haters who got something to say otherwise can come at me because I'm old enough to remember the time before rap when a crossover of disco and punk was as ethnic as you could get with a beat and a bassline. It's never been about the color of your skin, it's always been about the amount of mojo in your blood. ❤

@@gunner-qf9eh oh I don't doubt that he blamed Carrey and took no ownership in his own role. Or the fickleness of fame. The curse of a huge hit. Or the market at that time not really being sure what to do with hip hop, dance and cross over. But mostly , I think his arrogance about claiming to write the Under Pressure sample really shut the door on who would work with him more than the Carrey skit. He could have risen above that like everyone who has every had to rise above by doing the work and growing. Maybe showing some humility. (I am a little loopy on meds and this brings back my time working in clubs in the 90s and my hubs writing for Mad TV & stand ups)

Queen worked hard on the music for this fool to try and steal it as if they wouldnt notice. Lol.

There’s also the little issue of the hook, which he also borrowed from A Phi A.

@Serensive not true. Vanilla's beat was similar but it wasn't exactly the same.

[@carmenmonroe7]

We had so much fun with so much music back in the day! I'd wish a blessing on this entire generation that we could take a Time Machine to visit the 70s 80s and 90s. It was different day. But truly you guys are tapping into GREATNESS. The movies, programs and the shows were totally awesome back then too. Y'all are hearing our entertainment and we had the same feelings. It's nostalgia 😊

[@ernestoleitao8684]

Don't you dare call this man a one hit wonder, shortly after this he had a absolute banger with some turtles called Go Ninja. 8yo me rocked that for years.

History needs to be re-written for Vanilla Ice. If you like hip hop, rap etc you got to give this guy a nod because this influential song helped the genre heat up and bubble.

Cut it out. He was a knock off of MC Hammer

@@ConquerWealth.network not really, did you know majority of rap and hiphop sales comes from the white audience (around 59%) and vanilla ice introduced mainstream aka average white people to rap (majority of the average white people didn't listen to the beastie boys) rap culture would not be nearly as successful without him.

Knock on him all you want, but vanilla ice still has his money unlike a lot of artists. He was very smart with investments and royalties.

Pretty sure the rumor is Suge Knight held him over a balcony and forced him to sign away his rights, I think he made his money another way or on other music

[@joeharmison218]

Just remember, “The Chronic” and “Doggystyle” never see the light of day without Vanilla Ice. “Ice Ice Baby” funded Death Row. There is an interview out there with Vanilla Ice who acknowledges this in the most humbling of ways.

[@ICP1SBJ]

Yeah, he funded Death Row because Suge Knight threatened to throw him off a 15th-floor hotel balcony if he didn't sign over the points for Ice Ice Baby. That is one of the main reasons besides that album he didn't have many hits because he left the rap game before he got murdered.
