Let's be real Arsenio Hall just didn't like Rob because he was a white guy. Just like they didn't like Marshall Mathers when he first came out because he was white. This whole racial stereotyping has always existed in Rap and Hiphop music. It even exists in the Film Industry or the Police Force when they recruit people.

Even gave him an out and told him just play and go but if you sit I will confront you about your fake background and they kept saying you can't ask those questions. They had many chances to back out and chose to live the lie so he is pissed because this man sitting across from him is lying, he knows he is lying and the man is called out for it and continues to lie.

Every time he's asked about those days, he talks it done as if he's ashamed or something. Then later there was Eminem and a few others too. No one had ANY complaints about those guys. What was the problem with Vanilla Ice? I think "Ice Ice Baby" was a cool song. No pun intended and he as cute with his unique high top fade. I'm black and I liked him and his raps and his style! He didn't do or say anything different than anyone else has done. All of those rappers hype themselves up, especially back then! What... he can't rap because he's white? Besides rappers, It's not like there haven't been other white artist singing soul music so what's the difference? Remember, "Color Me Bad" from the 90's. I black guy in the group and he was not the lead. Even though everyone that the lead was a black guy. If he really didn't like Ice, why did he invite him to come on the show, just to show him up! On the other hand, I thought Ice was professional and handled himself very well. He wasn't being aggressive. He didn't seem angry or anything. It was Arsenio Hall's most childish interview ever. Anyone could tell his interview questions were bias against Ice.

If Arsenio went after every rapper that lied about their backgrounds he’d still be top rated with a lie detector like Maury!! “Aaaaaand the test results are in and you DID rent the Bentley in your video and you HAVE NOT ever shot a gun before in your life!” It was a bs interview, AH should have apologized!!

[@GlennHanna8]

Vanilla represented himself very well. The appearance at the time was a record company creating a product that will sell to a white audience. We'd all seen it with New Kids on the Block, and then here came another manufactured entity for the rap niche, oh and he's a pretty white boy. So it is understandable why those that paved the way for the rap industry would get very annoyed by what seemed like some kind of con. Arsenio represents that annoyance in this interview that a lot of people had, and he probably felt compelled to ask tougher questions... but he should have done so without slipping insults into the conversation. Live and learn. I think Vanilla Ice was being used as a pawn by the record company, but you can see he was genuinely enjoying the ride as a performer, not a paid actor pretending to be a rapper.

Third Bass and Beastie Boys were before Ice.

[@HindiRapGuru]

@@ModernDayWarrior2112 I don't disagree with you but we are talking about being world famous and selling millions of copies. "Ice Ice Baby" is still rocking the crowd!

[@HindiRapGuru]

@Mister Happy Just because you think he is not a "great" rapper which is subjective because I think he was great at his times, you cannot deny the numbers and popularity. Like Jay Z said men lie, women lie but numbers don't! Btw, Debbie GIbson's songs are still famous and plays in parties but not heard any LL Cool J for a long time! LMAO!

[@fatimahtorres8105]

Hall knows Ice was young. Of course they build up stories about their investment. And I believe flav was hanging with him the night b4.

[@randyreynolds4252]

yeah but he was pissed cause they tried to confront them all day about it even gave them an out on the interview, just play and go but they insisted on living the lies and thats what pissed him off as would you, Hall did his dam job and did the research and they still refused to admit anything. Ice admitted it later so Arsenio was right at the time to give him a hard time, especially after given so many chances to fix it before going on set. Flav is just a crack head and Ice had money 2+2 = 4

[@fatimahtorres8105]

@@randyreynolds4252 again.. ice was young doing what he was told. My thing is he's a whole grown man coming for a young Man when he himself knows how the business is. I don't understand what Flav being a crackhead has to do with it.

[@Awinst01]

And just look at the end result of this interview: Arsenio's ratings began to fall and his show was eventually cancelled while Vanilla Ice enjoyed a long and lucrative career that stills endures to this day - oh wait . . . that's not right. They both slipped into obscurity. Oh well - one day you're hot and the next day you're not.

[@wickedgrafix]

Vanilla Ice kept on making music and was huge in Europe and Asia reportedly making around 14 million annually. Has his own property investment company and the VIP Vanilla Ice Project on HGTV restoring mansions in Miami...I'm guessing Arsenio cleans Eddie Murphys pool and helps hammer collect food stamps to feed his posse.

You're literally looking at a Vanilla Ice video when you commented. Want to still talk about his "obscurity?"

[@Awinst01]

@@nickcarroll5034 - nah - I really don't want to talk about him at all. We could talk about "nostalgia" - that feeling of fondly looking back at bygone days. You know - things that use to be important but now are nothing more than pleasant memory. Kind of like Vanilla Ice. Does he still pop up now again? Absolutely - usually on some cable reality show. That's where most obscure celebrities show up.

[@magicjohnson2157]

Arsenio really tried to make it sound like he's out there doing hard hitting journalism and he wasn't just another bullshit talk show for artists to promo their shit 😂

[@RussellMills1877]

I am a fan of both Arsenio Hall and Vanilla Ice and I saw that interview and I feel that Arsenio was a little bit rude to the Ice Man but he handled himself well overall. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.

[@thomasgordo3192]

Arsenio was jelly

[@whitecollarworkshop]

In another video Arsenio said he was fed a bunch of lies about Ice prior to the show that night and one thing he said that he was told was that Ice won motocross races. Well ASSenio...he did win them. And in bunches. I couldn't stand Arsenio back then, and that feeling never changed. He's a very racist...!

Vanilla Ice handled him with ease and outsmarted him. Ice outsmarted him fair and square, looks like Arsinio's still bitter about it. Kudos to Ice. He masterfully handled Arsinio imho.

Mr Hall show was cancelled soon after that interview.

[@RocStarr913]

Not true. The Arsenio Hall Show was cancelled three years later on a completely unrelated manner.

[@arianprofit]

Arsenios best friends are Eddie and Hammer. He was out to get Ice. He literally researched what to ask with Hammer the night before.

If this had a million views, the comment section would actually reflect how hip hop fans at the time really felt about Vanilla Ice.

Arsenio is Prejudice

[@HappyBirthday216]

Arsenio Hall I am so shocked that you treated Vanilla Ice with pure hatred with your jealous self. You should have been proud not about color but a young man making it big in this world.
