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. They didn't make the connection to thug culture until Tupac etc were popped. But for at least a few years while Vanilla Ice was cool, the genre took root and grew.

This was a great time in the world. It was safer, music was on fire & all ppl got along United together. There was respect. I still crank it up for Ice Cube, “Today was a good day” 🎶

    Ice was a rapper, dabbled in Reggae and was in a Grunge band. He raced motocross, raced jet skis and had his own TV show. Helped produce several Nu Metal bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit. He also had some cameos in movies. My favorite was playing himself in Thats My Boy wth Adam Sandler.
    I was never much of a fan of his music but I am a fan of someone who turns his life around and is determined to be successful

      This isn't sampled... it's stolen. Ice had a bass player play the riff with one xtra note, so he could claim it was different. I think he wound up buying the rights to under pressure from queen so he wouldn't have to pay them royalties
      Edit- i shall correct myself after some research... he paid $4M for the publishing rights to Under Pressure because the possible long court case could have cost him more than that and then he would have had to pay royalties on top of it

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.

      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.

    Such a dope ass jam.... my first concert (at age 11) in '91 was MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and En Vogue @ Deer Creek in Noblesville, IN. Poured down rain nearly the whole time and we had lawn seats. Drenched the whole time but was one of the best shows I have ever seen still to this day.
