Profile

Vanilla Ice is a Legend. Plain and simple. He was the original white rapper who paved the way for everyone since. How cool would Eminem be without him? He wrote "Ice Ice Baby" when he was just 16. And 20 years on it’s still the biggest selling Rap record of all time. It was the song of a generation, and talk to any 30 something now, and they danced, they rapped, they loved it and him when they were growing up. With over 40 million copies sold worldwide (and even now still selling -750,000 last year alone) it’s a classic, he’s a truly unique talent and the world is a better place with a bit of "VIP" and "Word to your mother."

He was not the original 'white rapper'. What about the Beastie Boys. You guys are idiots.

Lauren
I love Vanilla Ice, his CD/Tape was one of my first, I got it when I was about 12. Stop bagging him!

Me
Innocent. People who trash him for his image/"talent" are missing the point."Ice Ice Baby" rocks.

Liam
lol apparantly he was meant to sign with Dr.Dre but he took another deal for more money.

Dez/Nutz
He did what he was told and made a killing. Vanilla Ice > Soulja Boy.... end of discussion

JJ
i dont care what anyone says, in the 90's vanilla ice was no different than any of the other rappers

Daniel
Would have made the right choice to respect the legends before him. Such as David Bowie.

DANIEL
His downfall was a marketing failure. Should have Never sold neon ICE ICE Baby bracelets.

triceyt
What the hell he saying sorry for he only doing what half of these artists doing to sell records.

Lisa Lou
One of the greatest songs of all time! EVERYONE knows these lyrics.

Michael Brown
Sorry guys, I can't agree with this verdict. This song is truly awful, a crime against humanity.

WinnipegKris
From highschool to the Highschool reunion - Vanilla Ice is still the s*****t! Light it up V-Man!!!

John M
Although this is kind of sappy, it's still listenable and enjoyable.

Michael O'Howe
Ice Ice Baby for life !! VI is king!

WakeDFUp
Was FAKE like TNKOTB & HE even admits it. SAD. Tupac, 50 cent, etc. STILL can't touch him HA HA! SAD

Rob McCardle
Gave a good account of himself in the ring I reckon. Bad boy for life Van!

Jen
who cares? Great then, great now. If the next gen knows the song you know your on a winner.

I'd lie about where I was from to make that kind of money. I'd also take some record execs down too

EH_JAY

Jimmy iCon

Snowblow

TF01
Why the fit? all the current rappers are doing it? its not illegal!

Kristoliquid
A good guy that was sadly a tool like other artists.

Darryl
I never was much of a fan past "Ice Ice Baby", but he created an everlasting image.

Peter
I'd rather watch Bowie perform the real song than listen to this sample over and over.

Mark
Sample average song, add in percussive rap rythmn that actually suits the riff. Who sold more???

tommy
so what if he ripped off a queen song? it sold more so he obviously did it justice. vanilla ice rulz

Timmahhhy
Ripped off a Queen song :D And I hope Adrian knows he typed 'best rap(p)er ever' hahahaha

Josh
People need to stop hating on him nothing to say sorry about at all.

Ronnie A

tk
"word to your mother" - best. statement. ever. LOL.

Pete

Isaac
One of hip hop's most talented MCs...a real legend.

Drew Long
Vanilla Ice is thee ultimate poser. His history needs to be eradicated from musical history.

cris

John
I still remember where I was the first time I heard this song. It blew my mind and I loved it.

Jon

Rob has had problems with his temper, but you gotta have mad respect for this dude. He paved the way

lori
my brother made me shave his eye brow to have stripes like vanilla back in the day!

Sal
It was the 80s. Everything you did was a fad. Don't feel bad. I still <3 the song!

Trav
Dude, EVERYTHING sucked back then. At least you made alot of money. Apology accepted.

Legend
Drop that Eminem, because ICE is the HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace
Although much of his image was prefabricated, it seems excessive to say that the music was "wrong".

D3
I always liked the song "Ice Ice Baby", I just didn't like his B.S. image that came along with it!!

reset
we grow up with ice ice baby!!

whats so wrong about this song?
Quick. Come up with a rap song that everyone here can recite all the lyrics to? Dont apologize, Rip.

joe dirt

Mike Da Mike
Back in the 80ies no-one really knew what they were doing, and at least Vanilla tried to be unique!

Joey
He's no more guilty than any other commercial rapper out today, including cookie cutter ganster rap.

SOEKakaDRC
My Hero...!! HIPHOP Is A Sampling-Sport! Thank You,ICE!!!

brian
He's guilty even if the music isn't crap. He plagerized Under Pressure by Queen/David Bowie.

dave

Mark
Vanilla Ice is tops...I still wear my baggy pants and shave stripes in my eyebrows.

Bootska
All the "evidence" for his guilt is just more proof of the awesomeness that is Vanilla Ice.

julien
