I will never forget begging my Mom in the 8th grade for his 1st album, and under the tree that year was the cassette tape that I still have to this day. I do not care what people have to say about Ice, he is a very talented, handsome, and amazing down-to earth guy. Thanks for the memories.
I love Vanilla Ice. You can hate on him all you want. But he’s stood the test of time. While many 90 rappers have been long forgotten. He is still very relevant. Every time he comes to town I go to see him. Love his show on the DYI network. Have you seen his net worth? Yea who got the last laugh??? Vanilla wins!!! Ice ice ice baby!!
I met him back in 2006 after a show he did, such a cool dude, he did a 2 hour show, then signed autographs for another 2 hours after and just hung out talked with people.
Loveeeee that man Vanilla Ice. I'm in shortsales in NY come find me. I hv seen so many ppl interview him n all these interviewer does not treat this man like the legend he is. He bought Queen song lol. Love it.
What's funny is, even as the biggest Ice fan back then, I only played 2 songs on that album bc the sings were so good. Not until today will I go and dust off the cassette tape and play the rest of the album finally.
@@bennyb44875 Sorry this should’ve gone to Interpol 01 rather than to you. In response to his message that his cousin had a drug addiction problem… And he named her
I filmed Vania Ice's show at LT's in Rockford IL around 07 when he reinvested all his song into rock songs. Pretty dope show. I almost forgot I was there to film
I have a lot of respect for Vanilla Ice. He got a lot of kids like me into Hip Hop. I went from Vanilla Ice, to Ice T, to Beastie Boys, to Wu Tang and so on. He was also a lot more "real" than most of the rappers out at the time.
Vanilla Ice is superb ,I remember being still at school and working in a farm outbuilding turkey plucking at Christmas time with ice ice baby on constant repeat on my cassette recorder,a shitty shitty awful job but that song made it bearable...got a bit of spending money and a free turkey for Christmas though so not all bad
I was 10 in 1991. If you weren’t alive back in 90-91 you have no idea how big this guy was. When Ice Ice Baby video hit for those few months that was the biggest song in the world. I still haven’t seen anything that big since. Taylor Swift is way more popular overall now but the intensity of Ice Ice Baby was way greater at that time. That song was literally everywhere. I mean everywhere. The video played 24/7. I can’t emphasize enough how popular that guy was. It all went away just as fast though. On the Turtle’s thing. His memory I think is a little off. Yes back in 1991 or so TMNT did have their own aisle at Toys R Us but not now. TMNT was that big back then.
@Gonzo York after he paid Queen and Bowie a hefty sum that was never disclosed then years later he paid 4 million dollars for to buy the publishing rights
Is it me or was Dan Patrick horrible during this interview? So many Vague questions to the point where Ice has no idea wtf he is even trying to ask him and then when he does he cuts Ice off constantly right in the middle of an explanation.. like was he having a bad day or wah?
I see people talking shiz on Vanilla Ice. . . .if he was so bad why do you think Suge went after him for $, why do you think he was ASKED to open for greats like NWA? He's just as relevant & humbled as Ice Cube.
$ doesn't = good or bad. I think a guy that steals then when caught claims he didn't steal + his only hit record proceeds went to Queen deserves to be forgotten
M Belmes, its called *Sampling* an ALL of the rappers did this, also Ice _OWNS_ Under Pressure now so stfu. Ice funded all those studio gangsta rappers like TuPac, NWA an Snoop, say thankyou!
Ice is a cool dude. But people would be surprised if they knew how close he was to suge knight. Even after the incident, if you search the internet you'll find ice hanging out with suge and other people from deathrow. All smiles partying.
So crazy how Suge shook "Vanilla" "Ice" down, claiming his guy "Chocolate" wrote the song, "ICE ICE" Baby...Eazy E shook down too, but at least sued the shmucks on a duress claim.
Great interview but how did that story get out? You Vaniila Ice said he hung you over the balcony. He did a wholeTV interview over it saying he was scared for his life etc.
Someone should do a movie on his life. Zach Efron should play him. Great story about someone who made the American Dream BUT is seen to have exploited a culture to do it.
Roman T So fucking true, bro. It's like "What the fuck else has he done music wise other than Ice Ice Baby?". I don't hear anything. Fucking rediculous.
Your ignorance is astounding. After Ice Ice Baby, he was the first rapper to play in Russia and China. He became the 6th best jet ski racer in the world, he did songs with Public Enemy, former members of SlipKnoT, Bloodhound Gang and more - joined Offspring and Deftones on a tour.- dude's literally been everywhere. not his fault you're ignorant.
morbidchid no it's not a matter of me being ignorant I have the album to the extreme, and know what he's done after that with his metal sounding music but people interviewing him don't care about jet skiing and motor cycling unless they are into that, they want to know what it was like at the height of his career in music everybody knows that he had a downfall and his record was the biggest thing out at the time people want to dwell on stuff that they find exciting and that's all anyone is ever going to want to talk about it to him as a rule in these interviews. I know he's done plenty of things of course he's been around the world and he has his construction reality Show but people aren't going to ever talk to him about those lesser Mundane things or albums that tanked after to the extreme because it's not interesting to them. The guy speaks in hyperbole and doesn't tell the truth he is kind of a joke to be honest his ego is out of proportion. Ice ice baby was written by a rapper name chocolate he was sued for royalties for it plus the beat is taken as well and got sued for that. I'm not saying he hasn't done certain things but he is a kind of a fraud and that's why he got called out and it's never been the same for him musically. I'm not dissing him I used to like that album but when you find out that it's not even him writing kind of diminishes his credibility.
He actually did write Ice Ice Baby. He wrote it in 1983 when he was 16 and then Earthquake and a guy named M. Smooth helped him rewrite the song. Chocolate had nothing to do with it. Chocolate worked on 8 songs on the To the Extreme album, but not as a rapper but as a beat maker. Then when the album became big, Chocolate took all the credit in order to get Suge to help him get more money. This is evident in the fact that Chocolate needed three ghost writers himself when he was working on his album with Death Row. Check out the documentary : Vanilla Ice Archive. It tells the truth about Vanilla Ice. His best album by far is his 1994 album; Mind Blowin which is the reason he was in the east coast/west coast beef. It's true that he sorta strays away from telling the entire story here and there because he's literally done with the past, but if you want the full truth, check out the documentary, it goes through his entire career. Sorry about calling you ignorant, I just dislike it when someone takes.one of the hardest working man in show biz and implies that his only accomplishments are between 1990 and 1991 when he's been working nonstop since 1985. Even Ice tries to dismiss it in this interview by correcting Dan and saying "90s" instead of the "80s" because he knows Dan is just talking about that one time period, he himself then starts talking about opening up for NWA and the Stop The Violence Tour which is between 1987 and 1989. So it's all understandable. But check out Mind Blowin'. It's his best work. Amazing lyrics.
morbidchid right ok I understand and accept your apology. Do you think that chocolate would have been given publishing on the song and others if he had nothing to do with it? He wasn't getting credit until they were going to force a lawsuit and then they admitted it and gave him credit and he gets paid along with the rest of them towards the song if I'm not mistaken?
Did he just say he's sold 160 millions records and that To The Extreme STILL sells 3-4 millions copies per year? Holy shit. I love the Ice Man but that's complete bullshit lol.
@@angelhairlaser Well thats great. Dont know what that has to do with him lying about selling 3 to 4 million albums every year but thanks for the info :)
yeah the 160 million records ? that rang true - the beatles have the most of all time 183 million - I imagine most people would put vanilla ice close behind - NOT
I will never forget begging my Mom in the 8th grade for his 1st album, and under the tree that year was the cassette tape that I still have to this day. I do not care what people have to say about Ice, he is a very talented, handsome, and amazing down-to earth guy. Thanks for the memories.

People can hate on Rob, but he knew what he wanted and took care of business, all the haters laughed at him and look who is laughing know.
Your English teacher?
@@MikeBelmes Hey MIKey the gaping mouse.....FOXTROT OSCAR!
Amen to that. people just jealous
Exactly. There was a problem. He solved it!
Robert V No body cares for haters.
Rob is a legit human being
Vanilla Ice is a smart Business man
Loveeeee that man Vanilla Ice. I'm in shortsales in NY come find me. I hv seen so many ppl interview him n all these interviewer does not treat this man like the legend he is. He bought Queen song lol. Love it.
Never felt pro or con about him, but I now see him as oozing with charisma. He was a young kid who is very much a man.
Legend. That is all !!
He's truly an amazing guy. So humble and friendly for a guy who's had such an incredible life. CHAMP.
What's funny is, even as the biggest Ice fan back then, I only played 2 songs on that album bc the sings were so good. Not until today will I go and dust off the cassette tape and play the rest of the album finally.
I love back when he started and I love him now. His rap his clothes,his hair.
Robert is a great friend of my familly in miami , he help my cousin Christina from is addiction of drug and
and....just like that was hooked back on the shit!

I just both his album today on ITunes ;) Greetings from Poland :)

Hahaha, this is great. I was a TMNT kid. Now I'm an electrician. I'll always have a place in my heart for this dude and his music!
What a guy 😂 love him
HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY ROBERT MATTHEW VAN WINKLE AKA VANILLA ICE !!!
He dont look his age
I have a lot of respect for Vanilla Ice. He got a lot of kids like me into Hip Hop. I went from Vanilla Ice, to Ice T, to Beastie Boys, to Wu Tang and so on.

Good for him, respect ice, still relevant
Doing a great thing and for DIY Network has some great shows
Not only a humble and truly good guy, this guy is smart as hell.
Great freakin interview dan ice is the real deal !
great interview, and interviewee
Great interview. Dan Patrick always does an amazing job! Rob is the man!
My goal is to be as positive as this man.
92 dance my ass off and still do today😊
This is for whoever has seen him on his latest tours,is he still able to pull off those old moves
He really did slice like a ninja... 🤘
I wonder how many miles are on that 5.0??? probably quite a few
When the pic of Madonna came up, did anyone else scream "NO NOT THAT ONE" lol
Vanilla Ice is the Man. Can't believed I believed that hang over the balcony rumor.
the power of the mainstream media gatekeepers is bigger than we want to admit, they've duped us all on something.
90s hits
I love Vanilla Ice man :)
Really weird how he gave that interview about Suge holding him over a balcony and now he is a nice guy
I was 10 in 1991. If you weren’t alive back in 90-91 you have no idea how big this guy was. When Ice Ice Baby video hit for those few months that was the biggest song in the world.

What a fucken legend!!
DP is the Best Interviewer in the Business
This cats killin it of TMNT. props
That Amish show he did was pretty good too
home sweet home by the crue is the biggest on mtv
Goddamn the smile on my face when he went allright stop!
I didn't know he owns "Under Pressure"!!!!!
Very cool
Smart man!
This guy owns his masters and Queens “Under Pressure”? This dude would be filthy rich.
Queen and Bowie just wanted creddits for that.... imagine it these days :D
@Gonzo York after he paid Queen and Bowie a hefty sum that was never disclosed then years later he paid 4 million dollars for to buy the publishing rights

Ice funded all those studio gangsta rappers like TuPac, NWA an Snoop, say thankyou!
Being from Texas, I always expected him to talk with more of a southern accent.
vanilla ice classic rap music
Ice is a cool dude. But people would be surprised if they knew how close he was to suge knight. Even after the incident, if you search the internet you'll find ice hanging out with suge and other people from deathrow. All smiles partying.
❤
Ice Ice Baby came out in 1990....not the 1980s
Look at him surge knight video!!!!!!@
I’m surprised Dan didn’t ask him if he still had some of his Vanilla Ice wardrobe in storage..
Vanilla Ice has way more money than Dan Patrick. Correct? Thanks
Is that a "West Mi. Whitecaps" sticker in the background, right of the ice man?
Good people.
word life. this is basic thuganomics
✅️✅️✅️
Best song by ice is boom by the bloodhound gang.
160 million records ? seriously ? did he work in the Trump administration too ?
Sound like Dan is saying banana ice ?
He said he listened to Biggie growing up but that cant be true. Vanilla Ice case came before Biggie
Yea that was a weird answer. I think he just said who his favorite rapper was instead of who influenced him early on.
@@theblakex no he's not lying. He's talking about 1990- 1991 biggie. Biggie was underground, and had not signed to badboy yet. He telling the truth.
Sux when interviewers interrupt/talk over the answer to a question
I could use your help Rob…..going through bankruptcy…….my house is falling apart around me…..
So crazy how Suge shook "Vanilla" "Ice" down, claiming his guy "Chocolate" wrote the song, "ICE ICE" Baby...Eazy E shook down too, but at least sued the shmucks on a duress claim.
Great interview but how did that story get out? You Vaniila Ice said he hung you over the balcony. He did a wholeTV interview over it saying he was scared for his life etc.
Bet he works well "under pressure"
A dj in Dallas ft worth got fired for playing ice ice baby over and over again. I want to say 10x in a row.
I bet he was inspired by J roc
And the record for gold people is a painted record it's not actually gold
3:37 Tax liens? Lol. Ruthlessly kicking people out of their homes.
I used to hip hop. Then I took an arrow to the knee
“Vanilla Ice” and “musician” should never be mentioned in the same sentence
well, other than this one 😜
Someone should do a movie on his life. Zach Efron should play him. Great story about someone who made the American Dream BUT is seen to have exploited a culture to do it.
Surprised Dan Patrick is sometimes kinda corny and much less knowledgeable about his guests compared to rich eisen.
Older and probably not as smart.
This dude is such a liar
He talks about you are going back 20 something years but that's all anyone ever wants to know from your career because after that they went nowhere.
Roman T So fucking true, bro. It's like "What the fuck else has he done music wise other than Ice Ice Baby?". I don't hear anything. Fucking rediculous.
