Jay Leno Interviews Vanilla Ice (2010)

Jay Leno's great interview with Vanilla Ice on The Tonight Show.

[@marshy793]

Every single interview I've seen vanilla ice do, hes always been well mannered and humble.

[@DasherBeats]

even when all they did was pick on him and make his life difficult he remained polite and calm. He’s a genuinely nice guy and is way smarter than all these “respected” rappers who blow all their money before 30

[@stefan_4508]

He always acts like a bitch

[@albertol9654]

He is definitely a nice guy.. Too bad the industry was tough on him.

[@victorhardin2186]

Well he is white

[@mikejohns3104]

Well that went better than the Arsenio Hall interview.

[@bobbylee3567]

And he carried himself beautifully on Arsenio.

[@mikejohns3104]

@@bobbylee3567 Dam right. And shortly thereafter Arsenio was off the air. Ice FTW.

Was thinking exact same thing and yer comment was 1st I saw !! Lol.. AND he wasn't sweatin' like a stuck pig from "energy drink overload " ...lol

[@marklendhurst1193]

Arsenio this is how you do an interview.

[@anthonyp2506]

Truth be told Ice is a great man.. I hate to see interviewers always trying to make fun of him and his career in the 90's.. he was a hustler and always has been respectful and fought his demons.. at the end of the day he is still eating off all the money he made from The first Album.. Proud of you Ice

[@starmc26]

His career was in the 80's.

Vanilla ice is a genius dude. He's not just a singer he's a realtor. Dude is making money on side as well. Respect the Legend 👍

[@VAHOSS]

People hate on Vanilla ice the rapper, but the guy definitely played a part in rap growing into the monster it became

[@selfiekroos1777]

Eminem hates him so much haha

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

@@selfiekroos1777 Eminem needs to chill, but he never will. Always angry, no matter what his success.

he is a poser!!!!

[@chaseman12]

He's a likeable guy. Saw him perform. He was very good.

[@JuliusCesar2005]

He was short-lived but regardless, a very good rapper, never a copycat, and he had the awards to prove it.

[@VinDieselS70]

Short lived but yet reaping the harvest from it and still doing tours.

[@A-Oreal]

He got skills, rapping and business in general...smart dude.

[@longiscadenotas4890]

He probably doesn't even have a GED. But has something even better GRIT and talent.

[@codprocamp4690]

He can whip a dirtbike too

[@MrASM78]

Vanilla is a cool dude.

[@ourtime-downhere6931]

@Lilaaloo it made him a millionaire, who gives a shit

[@DasherBeats]

@Lilaaloo it’s a sample lmao if he “stole” it then Queen and David Bowie wouldn’t have cleared the sample but they did

[@brodyman1231]

Imagine working hard and achieving your dream and then have the world love you then hate all within a few years. He did nothing wrong, he was being himself and came up in a time in Hip Hop when it was pure. They accused him of trying to lie about being a gangster. Here’s something about that era 89-92 NOBODY in Hip Hop at that time wanted to be a gangster, that came after. I thought it was crazy at the time what the press and other entertainers were putting out there about him. They just straight lied and fabricated stories about him, which in turn brought the whole world against him. It was obvious what he was and where he came from. He was a white kid he grew up in an urban “street” environment and grew a love of dance and hip hop from that. He wanted to be a huge entertainer and had a knack for an over the top glamorous style. By the way someone who wanted to portray being a gangster would never have chosen the look, style, and content that he did. He obviously chose a more glamorous look of the 70s era funk and mixed it with the 80s lyrical approach of hip hop and break dancing. It was so stupid what they did to him. No reason, other than just being mad a white person was there.

[@emilioperez6435]

Jay Leno treated vanilla ice better than Arsenio

[@emilioperez6435]

@John Smith and also vanilla ice still got all his money and Arsenio is broke but I'm sure that's the white man's fault.

[@saiyongdawn7756]

A M E N! I was so for this dude when he first came on to the scene. I will always be for him. Just shady people got in the way of his dreams but he still prevailed. So proud of Vanilla Ice. He help remodel beautiful homes now. What a guy. Still making mils off of his music. 🤗✨🤩

I am promoting a sampler of mine that cracks in quitar tunes for 500 thousand euros plus tax fees that will cost to me, bacause I get troubles in government services that I have compliments for human rights violations. A sampler of mine is for sale in demo mode of caustic03 if u will manage to get it because I don't know how to get the file. I must pay for the full version and I may lost it by a hack attack I am in Anavissos-Greece the sampler is in my device till now.

This dude seems like a really normal guy......he managed to save a ton of $ from ice ice baby....as a 80’s kid i grew up with him....i actually like his new show....

[@emilioperez6435]

Jay Leno treated vanilla ice with kindness not like Arsenio Hall who didn't want to see a white rapper make in a black man's game I'm sure deep down inside Arsenio feels the same way about eminem but em was rolling with dre so he had to eat that one.

[@RocStarr913]

That’s because Arsenio was trying to be cool and Jay never cared about that.

[@rollincoal3963]

As a kid I grew up listening to Vanilla Ice, he beat the odds, I give him mad respect for following his dream. A white guy doing rap music & without selling out to what was “in”... gangster & sexploitation rap back in the day. Eminem or Justin Beiber couldn’t hold a candle for Vanilla Ice, he’s a class act.

Vanilla because Van winkle, and he's white. I get it now. Ice though because he was chill, a cool cat. He had a legit stage name that was earned or given to him. Ice Cube or lady's love cool james were knock offs of a trend that Rob started, and never even asked credit for.
