I betch ya a lot of people have this CD but won't admit to it. I was a DJ when this was big, and my boss was too cheap to buy it. Well, to be more precise, the cassette single of Ice Ice Baby was outselling the song, so the record company pulled it so people would buy the album (greed in the record companies existed long before digital downloading and MP3 files). I told him to buy the album, he didn't want to, so I did. The album is pretty much a bore, with Vanilla doing what rappers seem to do, tell us how great he is at rappin'. But that's it. At least 2 Live Crew and The Geto Boys made me laugh a bit, and Ice-T has some good political stuff, along with N.W.A., but Robby Van Winkle (his real name) really didn't have much. The only time I liked him is when he beat the crap out of an MTV studio during the burning of the video Ice Ice Baby (scaring the hosts of Jon Stewart, Denis Leary, and a cackling Janeane Garofalo, who looked drunk during the taping. I thought it was hilarious, because it scared the tar out of the hosts, but that they were the ones who egged Vanilla on, and when he acted upon their taunting, they flipped out). The Ice Ice Baby song is slightly catchy, but the riff/beat was stolen from Under Pressure by David Bowie & Queen. Vanilla pretty much dried up after this, occasionally appearing at gigs and reality shows. Let's hope MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice hook up and go on tour.
To the Extreme Poster
There are actually far better contenders for the position that Vanilla Ice now occupies: That of the least-regarded (critically, anyway) superstar of the pre-Alternative '90s. MC Hammer comes pirouetting to mind, for one. Where're his props lately? Busted out from under him. But Oho! Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer are now collected on the dual Back to Back Hits compilation--which is bargain-priced and supersedes To the Extreme. It's by far the better value. "Ice Ice Baby" is not a bad song--it's just a Queen song without enough Queen. But then, take a sweep at today's hip-hop arena and tell me the man (Van Winkle will be the name on his death certificate) wasn't prescient. In the end, he may be remembered as the proto-Puff Daddy. --Gavin McNettPop Music CDs
