Vanilla Ice is melting from being Under Pressure.

[@centarcher5121]

But wouldn't the high amounts of pressure raise the boiling point of the ice not melt it?

[@HungryTacoBoy]

CentArcher Nope, it'll melt. "When pressure is applied to ice, its melting point is reduced so it turns to water. When the pressure is removed, however, it turns back into ice. This process is called 'regelation.'" "Regelation is the phenomenon of melting under pressure and freezing again when the pressure is reduced. Many sources state that regelation can be demonstrated by looping a fine wire around a block of ice, with a heavy weight attached to it. The pressure exerted on the ice slowly melts it locally, permitting the wire to pass through the entire block. The wire's track will refill as soon as pressure is relieved, so the ice block will remain solid even after wire passes completely through. This experiment is possible for ice at −10 °C or cooler, and while essentially valid, the details of the process by which the wire passes through the ice are complex."

If you'll read my resposes, you will see Vanilla Ice did NOT "add" an extra "Ding". IT was ALREADY in a single central portion of the "Under Pressure" Baseline. Because it only accures ONCE in a SERIES of DINGS in that baseline, in Under Pressure, people MISS it and think Vanilla as telling the Truth when they listen to a side by side. But keep listening to "Under Pressure" to about the center of that repeating baseline and you will hear Queen INSERT that "EXTRA DING" creating the baseline ICE stole and simply made that "specific" Queen varient in THEIR baseline, the repeating baseline in "Ice Ice Baby".

[@morphman86]

For those who didn't get it, there's one "ding" in the empty space between the two group of "dings". Something he at the time thought was enough. Then again, he didn't think that would be his breakthrough hit at all. Most popular rap songs at the time had sold around 100 000 records, Ice Ice Baby sold over 5 million. This is a very early interview, when the single had just hit the chart. It took about a week after this interview before he went out and said Ok, it's a straight sample... but that's what all the rap artists do, it's a part of rap culture. Not that it's a defense, but you let me know if this enriched or destroyed the musical culture!

[@MrParkerman6]

*two notes, not one, yu dumb fuck.

[@morphman86]

@@MrParkerman6 no, that second one is part of the original instrumentals. That's the one he doubled up.

[@byron5151]

As I said in my comments, That "extra" Ding in the Queen's "empty space" or "pause" between the two groups of "dings" is indeed IDENTICAL. Queen did that SAME "extra" ding in that "pause" space, only Queens version did it in only ONE of the 2 Groupings that is found about 1/3 of the way through Queen's Under Pressure AND nowhere else in the song. THAT was the SAMPLING portion "ICE" did COPY "ding for ding". The extra ding in the pausing space between the 2 groups of dings IS FOUND in QUeen's Under Pressure, but only ONCE when the baseline RESUMES about 1/3 the way of the Song. ICE "leads" and "retains" that ONE portion throughout ICE. You have to compare ALL THE WAY in Queen's Pressure UNTIL you hear it in THEIR Song. It will come 1/3 the way in. In comparisons to the two songs, This is NEVER played and so people think it is different. You will be amazed and say Ah Ha if you just were not lazy and went to that "sample" that is Identical in "Under Pressure"..it is NOT at the begginning, nor the end of the song, but Ice heard it in the MIDDLE and copied it--"ding for ding"

[@morphman86]

[@byron5151]

​@@morphman86 However, I think you explainerd to us all much more eloquently what Ice was claiming ws the difference between his baseline and Queens. "one "ding" in the empty space between the two group of "dings" That way of explaining it helped me to better explain it as an extra "ding" in the "pause space" between the tow groups of "dings". One can "clearly" hear that the two Songs are different as Ice said, but ONLY because they do no realize "ice's" sample was idetically taken from the "middle" baseline in "Under Pressure" and not the varient "opening" and "ending" baseline sequence or "groups" of dings as you put it which I think was excellent!👍🏽

In contrast: The Ice, Rap was about "in typical white narcissism" Vanilla (the Ttile even bears his OWN Name---TWICE "Ice") and Shay's adventure one SINGLE weekend. And True to Whites in music history before Vanilla, Shay got NO CREDIT, just like Queen and David Bowie did not, until taking his MONEY (the white Idol) made white kid do so---Sooooooo typical.

Vanilla Ice's version of the baseline is INDEED with a "extra ding" ...HOWEVER, when you listen CLOSELY to "Under Pressure", the baseline stops (temporarily) while Freddy Mercury is singing. And right AFTER Mercury says "people on streets, da da da", the basline RETURNS inserting that "Extra Ding" Ice Talks About ...it was INCLUDED, before immediately dropping the extra ding again as it was when the song opens and throughout the song. This ONE "segment" of Pressure's baseline was what Vanilla Ice stole and used it repetedly in Ice Ice Baby, whereas Under Pressure only used the "Extra Ding" that same baseline ONCE in their song. In a "Blink" you will miss it if you think the baseline "without" the extra ding (as in Ice) is not used in Under Pressure --- It simply IS! but only once "within" the repeating baseline repeating sequence" So be not deceived. THAT portion of Queen's baseline is IDENTICAL (extra Ding and all) to what Ice just said in the interview. Only the REST throughout the entire Pressure song drops the "extra ding"
