- In this new interview, Vlad sits down with Vanilla Ice, the first rapper to top the Billboard charts and sell the fastest-selling hip-hop album at the time, which remains one of the biggest to date. Ice played a significant role in popularizing hip hop worldwide & unintentionally helped fund Death Row Records, propelling the success of artists like Snoop Dogg. After his hip-hop career, Ice transitioned into real estate, where he continues to strive financially. Ice penned his top hit, “Ice Ice Baby,” when he was just 16, although he noted that his song “Ninja Rap" is also popular among younger fans. Ice credits his success to his own work, refuting claims that someone named Mario Johnson assisted him. Ice stated that he had initially intended to sign with Def Jam Records but changed his mind after being offered a better deal by another label. Throughout the rest of the interview, Vanilla Ice talks about Eminem, MC Serch, overcoming drug use, and much more.

nice collection. Never knew he was into cars
Let’s do the Star Island Pablo stories next
U dissapointed me Vlad. U have enough information to know Vanilla Ice is just a fantasy story teller. He did not funded Death Row Records..Harry O did!
Why don't u interview Mario "Chocolate" Johnson?
Stop interviewing about a song from the past
"I'm the guy that wants to go back to the 90's". Ice, I felt that my brother. The 90's was such a simple and amazing era.
This generation has no idea what they missed 💯
Facts 💯
I want to go there with him😅 so grateful to have grown up in the Golden Era I know it was twice as fun for adults at that time
The 90's was the best decade before it all went to💩
Word!
Worked on Vanilla Ice Project, most everything he’s saying here is everything he said over a summer working on his show. Funnest time of my life, got to party, jam and listen to a legend tell stories. Dude is on another level of smart!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
nice
Awesome. He seems real. I'm sure he's a great dude.
He's a real one and an OG with many wize words of advice! What an amazing interview!
Wait so glad is admitting to helping get KEEFE D arrested…1:10:00
VLAD…..if you or your people are reading this. Stop…..you are going to end up 10 toes. Not a threat… more like a premonition. You are chasing clout and the trees you’re barking up are taller than you think. It’s not worth it.
Mad Respect For This Dude. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade. 98% of the rappers from that era is dead broke and he's still rich. And he's 💯 correct about Michael Jackson!
That’s because these youngsters fail to understand that they are who they hang out with! It’s is very important to note the criteria and quality of people that anyone choose to keep in their corner. This is especially relevant when it involves individuals who have the opportunity to be seriously engaged in select business industries. The root of this problem is the lack of respect for similar values. A large majority of people (in general) are truly incapable of understanding how to separate a personal approach from a professional perspective.
16:29 for the Michael Jackson stuff
Ice is a cool guy. I remember when he was angry about what happened to him. So cool to see him at peace.
He had every right though. friggin media
Wonder if he has a shrink? They must be excellent. Good question to ask. I like this guy.
No pun intended with the cool 😉
My wife has known his wife for years. She's a regular at a restaurant my wife works at. She said he's a totally normal down to earth guy no ego at all. He's good to people always takes pics with fans and smiles at everyone. Good tipper too!
Cool story glad you shared it changed my life man 😅😂
@@1234DLTS It must have change your life for you to take the time to comment like that on such a Miniscule statement. Obviously you don't have a life.
My ex Brother In Law was “good” friends with him in high school. My Ex knew him too, and said he was a huge douche back then. The BIL still talks about it like he won the State football championship or something.
nah yo ex telling lies , he was down to earth in high school @@billybee3423
Your wife is an old waitress?
This might be on my Top 5 interviews of all time. WOW….. what a breath of fresh air. He really has a great perspective on life and entertainment.
WOW! I didn't know Vanilla Ice is so intelligent and well spoken person. I was a Senior in high school when Ice Ice Baby hit #1. It was the beginning of Hip Hop music. This was one of the first Hip Hop songs that become mainstream. He was super popular during the early 90's. He was popular around the same time as MC Hammer. Hip Hop was much more fun and danceable back then. Nowadays Hip Hop has become so dark and angry. People don't want to admit it, but Vanilla Ice was a pioneer for a lot of future Hip Hop artists.
Dude just totally inspiried me. He seems so clear, focused, and non egotistical. 🦈 🙏🏽
Everything Vlad is not
I’m not sure about the non egotistical part. 😅
as a psychologist....hes completely egotistical but doesn't want to appear that way...and this is on camera so let that marinate...@@Cards-In-The-Closet
@@chrisg7945 Yeah, I can tell and agree. That’s why I made that comment.
Another real one
Literally dropped a song that is a hit in every generation
Multiple songs that transcend time
And he gets mad about rumors about suge, but says he wont give certain specifics and leave it up to people to give their own narratives of details/situation. The only one he "throws under the bus" is suge cuz he knows suge is in prison and wont get it. Pussy
Legend! 💯
well when you steal under pressure yea its would transcend
@@TheGhettoPhilosopher he owns under pressure
I absolutely love this dudes positive energy 🙌
This interview was 5X more interesting than I thought it would be.
Unlike so many rappers, Vanilla Ice stayed rich, because he is a very smart man.A lot of people don't give him the respect he deserves.But he outlasted a lot of people from the industry.Much love and respect to the man!
For a guy that admitted to heavy drug use & losing millions through lawsuit and etc he did manage to stay rich
Because he's white he's smart And not a fool like most brothas that think rich is owning a chain and some rims 🤣
Only if 95% of those other rappers had something that Vanilla Ice and Eminem have…😂 Eminem wrote a song about it… you should definitely listen
@@EverybodyHatesChrisNowhow many of these "other rappers" own their own publishing let alone understand it? Dude is smarter than 99.9% of these other rappers.
@@angeofdeth6552yo maga hat showin
I remember when Vanilla Ice was on top, then he became the punchline for everyone's jokes. Good to see him getting the last laugh.
Ya hemme!!
He seems to have forgotten how embarrassed he was of Ice Ice Baby and his Vanilla Alice persona. That went on for years and years. He refused to talk about that era.
He's getting the last laugh because kids today music sounds the same.
Coz of Eminem
He's been BALLIN like for along time he was just quiet
If you’re reading this I wish nothing but wealth and health all 2024
Blessings to you too brotha 💯
you too bro
Thank you God bless you
Thank you, same to you 😊
Right back at ya'
I graduated HS in '91. It was different back then for sure. Music doesn't drop the same and young people of today miss out. When this came out in '90, with no internet, everywhere you went as a teenager this was playing. In your car, everyone's car, the mall, the arcade, etc. This was before Nirvana and I believe that this song not only pushed hip-hop into dominance, but it was also the 1st death nail for hair metal too.
100%. I was a total hair metal MTV kid. When Vanilla Ice came out, I was 12 and me and all of my friends changed our hair to try our best to match his!
There's just no monoculture anymore. Everyone has their own social media feed, own Spotify feed, etc with a personalized algorithm. That's awesome in a lot of respects, but nothing will ever be as BIG as when it was big back then when everyone got fed the same things.
I met Rob at a show in Jax, Fla during his live band show days through a long time friend that knew him. He was cool, calm, collective and real. And he is right, to be the last of a generation to know life without technology was a great time in history. Word to your mother.
This was one of the most impressive interviews I’ve seen on CZcams. Vanilla Ice is an icon in this rap world. He deserves his flowers and much respect to a hip hop legend😊👏🏾👊🏽
A shame he's been disrespected too much .oh he wasnota gangsta blah blah.who cares ...it's entertainment
@@yanicyoda4762you’re either really young or some clueless white guy who’s knowledge of hip hop begins and ends with Eminem! He wasn’t disrespected because he wasn’t a gangster. Plenty of credible hip hop artists of his era weren’t gangsters either, and they were held in high regard. He became a joke cos he lied about his background and claimed to be from streets etc. also at the time he was really corny. He tried so hard to look “cool” and ended up looking like an idiot. His movie “cool as ice” didn’t help him either.
DW- hater player ya are, you’re the one that’s wrong. ICE was the guy everyone shoulda listened to and emulated. Instead everyone trying to be cool and fashion and cars. JayZ Ice Cube and so many else are fake gangsters too, even Tupac a fake gangster. Don’t worry, your fake bigoted prejudice isn’t hidden, we see it clear, ya not fooling anyone 😉
agreed! 100%
@@DW-py4up Thank you bro . The amount of Black and White Stan types who are responding to this interview is unbelievable. That fool had exactly ONE HIT. He embarrassed himself in the nineties as if he were trying to go platinum in assholery. He has done well for himself living off that monster tune. Half of his own fans probably can't name another single by him. Personally..I didn't shit on him too much because he never hurt anyone...but the fact that he's still jiggabooing for trump is something I can't overlook. My opinion.
Man I got a lot respect for this dude... I'm old enough to remember when Ice Ice Baby came out. He was the biggest thing for a while, then became a joke whom everyone laughed at...
He was clearly very smart and strong at a very young age. He made smart investments and he raised his three daughters. I dunno why, but seein' this dude happy today and doing well makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I guess it's because his songs remind me of middle school...
Yup! I was 12 when that song came out and it influenced every single one of us!
Everyone wasn't laughing at him... Only the haters were laughing at him. As Taylor Swift says, haters going to hate hate hate and shaker's going to shake shake shake and he's a shaker and made bank and he is still making bank...
What a legend! The world needs more people like Ice, a true old school dude.
Ice is a core memory of my childhood 🥹
His was the first cassette tape I begged my parents to buy me. I knew every word of every song,,which I’m sure made my parents cringe as a tween white girl from the sticks😂 But that shit was dope 😁 I saw him play during the rock period 10 yrs later at a resort town club and he slapped my outstretched hand during the show,,made my f-ing year!!!
Peace and blessings to this man- he had a part in making me a much cooler person-helping to introduce me to the rap world , which opened my mind when I might have otherwise not been drawn to it. F-ing Legend.💯✨💜💜💜
💪🏻🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸
This interview is incredible! Im 40yrs old and in 1990 I was 7 vanilla ice was a icon at that time ! He’s very dope & his life story would be a great movie
The interview I didn’t know I needed. Much love for this one Vlad and shout out to Ice. Got a new appreciation for him.
I agree with you 1000% - I've always liked Vanilla Ice and have followed him for a few years now with all his new endeavors, but this interview here, did something to me and for me. Big Up to VLAD for this one.... and of course, Vanilla Ice.
Couldn't agree w/u more.....
What a guy, I’m exactly his generation (54) and I’ve never gave a shiet about politics either. I loved ALL the music from the 90s from hip hop to metal, such a great era! Awesome listening to him and his stories what a great interview!
Great ...now slither your ass back to your gas powered kick and go - shove your ear buds into those book ends for that air pocket you call a brain ... and bang out to Korn , Limp Biscuit and that Don Ho remix of "Hangin' Tough" by New Kids On The Block ft. Aaron Carter and Tiffany trump.
I used to listen to TO THE EXTREME multiple times a day. I think I still know every word to that whole album. HAVIN A RONI was probably my favorite back then.
Now, i had no idea he's still putting out music. Good for you Ice.
💪🏻🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸
One of the best interviews ive ever watched honestly. Brilliant dude, had no idea.
started watching this because i grew up with vanilla ice in the charts and wow this guy is a legend i didnt realise he was such an amazing businessman would love to spend a month with him and learning his life lessons and business experience.
Man this guy is genuine! Very humble dude. Definitely got my respect.
Rob vanwinkle , I respect and love your attitude and outlook on life. Don’t stop telling your life story it is very inspiring. Keep the positive message going, you are a winner in the competition we all call life.
an interview I didn't know I wanted to hear so badly
That's a Ton of pressure on a single human being. How he came out , and came out ahead and on top , amazes me. Good for him. Not many people in history can make it through all that and actually be ok
He said "I'm friends with 2pac!"
2pac lives!!!
Honestly though this was an amazing interview full of wisdom and Ice is clearly a very smart man.
Highly successful businessman who respects everyone who has helped him. Respect
What a great guy...well spoken. Very impressed ❤
He even remembers events from 30 years ago very clearly and chronologically. Smart dude
A great liar..
@@cliffdewind1389u 🧢
@@cliffdewind1389 don’t be a hater
@@f3l1xe Did u ever heard of Mario "Chocolate" Johnson?
This guy seems like a good dude. By his nature he exposes the hatred in many people's heart.
Much love and mad respect for taking the time to help correct some of these crazy misconceptions ❤️❤️
What an amazing interview! He's an amazing soul
It’s about time you put this out in full!
Best interview you’ve done, and one of the best people you’ve ever interviewed. Super nice guy, he keeps it real, and tells the truth as he knows it. All other rappers are quite the opposite, mostly all of them are gangster wannabes and are living in dept. Vanilla Ice is one cool guy, top man all round!
LMFAO meanwhile, part of the reason that Vanilla Ice got so much hate back in the day was BECAUSE he was a wannabe -- or at least came across that way. He's definitely matured & grown healthier, wealthier, wiser (which is all any of us can hope for in our lives), but I can still see hints of some of those old traits & tendencies that made him look like a poser back in the day
and NO "mostly all of them" are NOT gangster wannabes -- learn more about hip-hop
He’s lying about a few things for example being held over the balcony. Makes me wonder what else he lying about
He’s a str8 🤡 how do you diss Elvis for you to seem better
The ODB story was deep
Like it or not.. . He's a ICON.
ROBERT IF YOU'RE READING THIS THANKS FOR THE GREAT CHILDHOOD I'M NOW 46 AND STILL RIDING STRONG WITH YOU AND YOUR GREAT MUSIC NOW ONLY IF I COULD AFFORD A HOUSE BUILT BYE YOU THAT WOULD BE AMAZING AND AFTER HEARING YOUR LIFE STORY ANYTHING IS STILL POSSIBLE. WISHING YOU THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOR 2024 AND THE FUTURE TO COME MY MAN. APPRECIATE YOU BRO.
Keep on trucking outlaw life ...AND you forever in love with a dude who had ONE hit . A dude who embarrassed himself left and right during your childhood . Outlaw life ? ..Robbie renovates houses and spends half the year downplaying being hung out like mistletoe by Suge. I DARE YOU TO NAME VANILLA'S FOLLOW UP SINGLE TO ICE ICE BABY ? You probably suck nuts for trump too. These White boys are hilarious nowadays.
Watch out Ice ... you've got a Stan eyeing real estate near you.
This interview was worth my time. Thanks Vlad, thanks Ice!
Normally I would say the glazing from Vlad was crazy but Vanilla Ice kinda deserves the flowers
I perceive the same thing too
He's a deep Guy his energy is real this interview was needed for the people to understand him Respect
Absolutely a great interview. I love how he is well read too. I got ‘The Platinum Rule’ downloaded in Audible before I finished watching the interview. Super dope. I’m addicted to Vlad interviews.
Love his perspective on life. Get you a team, get what you can get of it and don't stress too much ( easier said than done ) but it can be done. Blessings to everyone and happy holidays 🙏🏿
I’m really enjoying this interview, Vanilla Ice is a true legend! So humbling, inspiring and real! I’m gonna watch that movie soon, nothing like a great movie to watch and just chill.
Do you just throw around the word legend
Your mom's a LEGEND! @@Itsnotcomplicatedreally
@Itsnotcomplicatedreally he's not a legend and nothing about him is humbling. He literally said there would have been no death row, 2 Pac, Rage etc without him smh
@@NomarandusHe's the reason Suge had money to start Death Row. So yeah. Stop hating.
@ep_got_the_sauce no he's not. Suge got money from Jimmy Iovine and Harry O to start up Desth Row. Do your research
Dope interview 💯. I remember bumping Vanilla Ice as a kid back in 1990.
Couldn’t stop watching this interview. Thank you Vlad!
AMAZING INTERVIEW VLAD! Really needed to see and hear this today.. thanks a lot. Much respect to Rob 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼
THIS IS A WONDERFUL INTERVIEW. IT'S WONDERFUL THAT ALL THOSE FALSE RUMORS ARE CORRECTED BY SITTING DOWN AND TELLING HIS TRUTH. "VANILLA ICE" IS SUCH A INTELLIGENT MAN, I HAVE SUCH MAD RESPECT FOR HIM. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY1, ALL THE BEST TO HIM.❤
I loved his songs when I was a kid🔥🔥🔥🔥
After watching this full interview, I know that I will be returning to watch it often. Excellent!
No one can hate on Vanilla, to own his publishing and buying off his samples...
DAMN!
MUCH RESPECT, and thank you for making a classic wedding song!
Yeah he’s a lot smarter than I would have thought. Never thought he was dumb but he really took advantage of some situations that came his way.
Glad he’s doing well
I think there’s some things to “hate” on him for, but overall it wasn’t his fault he was dumb kid in a big world he didn’t understand
I love seeing ice happy again, and embracing his past and enjoying life, i was born in 1980 i seen his incredible rise to the top and sadly all the bs that brought him down, i remember early 2000s how he was bitter and hated ice ice baby didnt want to even be attributed to it, was embarrassed of his past, and now he sees how important that song and himself was to millions of ppl worldwide, and actually shares in the feeling of most his fans from that era that we wish we could go back to them days, he reminds me of mike tyson witb all the quotes and wisdom hes learned over the years, ice is the man, word to ya motha
Great interview, rob is awesome. The way he was able to pivot his life from hip-hop to construction, home remodeling was pretty awesome. And still doing tours.
This is one of if not the most inspirational videos I've seen in my life, an it didn't cost me a dime!
I'll be 40 this year and feel it's never too late, thank Vanilla Ice and DJVlad!
Definitely need to do another interview. I love his attitude
This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen in all platforms, I’m leaving this interview feeling so re energized, hopeful and wanting to grow even more I every good way possible.
I'm looking forward to his next interview. Some amazing stories to tell
To this day I still quote Ice Ice Baby in various situations, I remember the video cycling on MTV! I was 19 ... Love it! Damn, still feels like yesterday all this came about. So happy to see that Vanilla Ice is still doing great and has such a beautiful soul and family. What an inspirational interview thanks to both of you!
This is what we needed and glad I got to hear more on his career and what he has been doing since. More importantly his views and I much say he’s going down as a legend for sure. Got to love the humble and passionate ones
This man’s the realist, most honest, humble artist and human of our time.
Loved vanilla ice as a kid love vanilla ice as an adult. Give this man his flowers 💐
Top 5 BEST interview here on VLAD TV
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched. Before this Ice was corny and dumb too me but now I see he was just someone playing his role in entertainment and beginning the snowball effect to amazing life no one could even fathom to recreate. Love!
I enjoyed this trip back to the ‘90’s. What an era! Ice ice baby is a classic!
So very cool. Vanilla was one of the first LIVE acts on Top of the pops here in the U.K. What a legend. Looks as good now as he did back then. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
This is the best interview This year. Thanks Vlad. Vanilla Ice kept it as real as possible. I watched this interview from beginning to end.
If you can't listen to this man talk and learn something about life, then you need to figure it out. So much respect for this guy. Thank you Vlad for giving this man the platform.

Definitely one of my favorite interviews. Hell, I'm going to watch it again and write down the name of those books.
Watching this interview makes me wanna go buy a Vanilla Ice record even though I have heard it a thousand times, just because he’s so real and laid back. Props to him, glad he’s doing well.
I'd buy ice ice baby single if it goes directly to Vanilla ice estate
Spotify bro
This just may be my favorite interview Vlad has done!
Very fun interview, I have been inspired to keep moving.
Homeboy never ages.
I always loved this guy, I'm inspired by his enthusiasm and his gift of gab!
Excellent interview, very insightful.
One of the best, most fascinating interviews ever on Vlad. I was a young girl when Vanilla Ice came out. This interview did him so much justice - very intelligent, amazing human being🙌
Finally a full interview I’m gonna watch this probably 4 times!
Hey bud
Great Interview 💪 💯🇺🇸
Great interview! Loved hearing Vanilla Ice....... epic!
