  • 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.

    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

    I haven't watched this interview yet but I will drop a story about meeting Robbie 20 years ago. My roommate at the time worked for a radio station that put on a festival he was on. I was backstage seated on a couch with a spot open next to me. He comes in, sees the spot and asks if he can sit there. I get up and he says, "no, man, stay put! I'll sit next to you!" He sits down and was cool as could be. He gets up to shake someone's hand and accidentally kicks my foot. He apologizes profusely. I tell him, "it's all good, man! No problem!" He sits back down. Almost immediately, two women with a meet & greet come in. He gets back up and gives both of them a hug. I will say both women were very large. I say that because a few minutes later, two slender, gorgeous women walked in and literally pushed past these two other women like they weren't even there. Vanilla, as polite as he could be, held his finger up and told them he'll be right with them and he went back to the other ladies and chatted with them for several more minutes. He signed everything they had and they could not have been happier. The other two girls didn't wait around. He sat back down and we chatted like we'd know each other forever. I had forgotten who he was! Easily the nicest, most polite celebrity I've ever met.

      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.

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.

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.

    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.💯✨💜💜💜

    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.

Cuz of that I met a girl who loved your song and noticed that I had the same type of car in your vid. I ended-up marrying this girl. Had three baby’s. Now have six grand children.

    • @Tarantulisimo

      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

      He's trying to play a lot of it down for sure. But there's a lot he's defensive about and seems to regret, so I think he's putting more emphasis on the good stuff ("half a billion fans" etc.) as a means of making the bad stuff seem not so bad.

    I was there that day when Suge visited Vanilla Ice.. i wasn't inside the hotel, i was on the Street looking up at the balcony.. i worked for Suge in the late 90s & early 2000s.. but that day i was only there to basically be a look out to make sure no one else was coming up to the hotel, i was a young kid, basically a boy, but i had older homies that actually were on payroll for Suge.. the story has some truths.. When i was looking up @ the balcony Suge had Ice backed up on the balcony & Suge was smoking the cigar & ashing the cigar down the balcony & looking down at me where i was, & Vanilla ice was hanging over the balcony but Suge wasn't holding him, he wasn't hanging as in being held by his legs he was hanging over the balcony like as if he was trying to look down, so he himself put his body over the balcony to look down because (im not implicating anyone) but there was a indirect threat where Suge said "i would never hang you over the balcony and hold you by the legs bcuz im not the type to do that, you know me, im a business man & a gentleman" but by him saying "i wouldn't hold you by the legs and hold you over the balcony because im not the type to do that" he wasn't threatening to do that but that planted the seed in Ices mind that hes low key probably saying he really is the type to do that.. the only reason i know that happened because when we all left they laughed about it in the car & we went to a restaurant & were drinking & toasting to another successful day & it was repeated by someone what was said on the balcony between them, because it was Suge & Ice alone on the balcony originally but a 3rd guy opened the slider door when Suge mentioned to Ice to look how far down the fall is.. but the 3rd guy just stood there at the door at the exact time when Suge said to look down.. but he wasnt hung over the balcony, even though i was a young kid i still remember
