He totally forgot to pay (never mind forgot to get permission from) David Bowie/Queen & Wild Cherry for sampling their music to credit Ice Ice Baby (Under Pressure) & Play That Funky Music (Play That Funky Music [White Boy]), and then lied about it by saying it's a one to two notes difference in the riffs. 4. He totally disregard the influence of the Omega Psi Phi (Q Dogs), the historical black fraternity that invented the phrase "Ice Ice Baby". 5. Long before copying his fashion from MC Hammer, he was copying his earlier street fashion from Ice-T!!! The QUEEN thing alone has always bothered me, he stole it, his label stole it and they knew it and thought just because QUEEN was a band from the UK and really wasnt big in the USA anymore no one would know, they failed to realize that Queen had fans here. Everytime i see the clip of him saying " its that itty bitty change" i want to see Brian May beat him with his guitar while Roger Tyalor and John Deacon (whos bass line it is) kick him. But i must say there was alot of STEALING and shit going on in this later 80's early 90's time frame, alot of Fraud shall we say. some just need to do their homework, and some need to take a look outside the hood - it don't all start and end with hip-hop, and lots of times the only things these thugs murder is the sperm that comes from their d*ck when they pass a l*ad from lookin' at pics of chicks they could never have! | |

The song was a hit. It was and still is pretty good.
Rob himself, bought into his image the same way most of these rap guys buy into their images. They are supported by their record companies to play the fool. He just couldn't get his lies straight. There was a huge backlash against him, when he AND Hammer went super-commercial. Cartoon shows for Hammer?? Rappin' with Ninja Turtles for Ice? Of course people were gonna push back. But the song was a good one, the video was fun. That's 20 years ago! (shudder).  
Some people tell me I've got great legs... | |

lowerregister said: Yo man, I find all the Vanilla Ice hate too funny. I remember VERY CLEARLY: EVERYONE, and definitely including the brothers, was feeling Ice Ice Baby when it first came out. It got played to death on AM Stereo KDAY in Los Angeles - America's original hip-hop radio station with almost all black and latino listenership at the time. I mean, there is a very valid reason that album sold 12 million copies or whatever it did, and it was partly crossover appeal yes but also because so many hip-hop people thought that shit was dope. I was there...let me tell you that motherfucker was FILLING hip-hop dancefloors all over LA county - and there were still relatively few white people going to hear hip-hop at clubs in the fall of 1990. It was THE peak record. Maybe some of the guys honestly didn't really dig it so much, and that's a big MAYBE, but the girls sure did, they waited ALL NIGHT for that shit to drop, and they wanted to grind and get their asses and titties felt up on the dancefloor when that shit got played, so the fellas just fell RIGHT IN LINE. Bottom line: people can get their revisionist history on now if they like, but I VIVIDLY recall not being able to BELIEVE what I was seeing at the time 'cause I always HATED that fucking record, I just couldn't believe how many people were feeling it. That's how it was in LA. Many of my friends whose taste I otherwise respected were all into it at the time, though they will NEVER EVER admit it now. Anyway. The Vanilla Ice hate was just as much a thing of people hating it because it got TOO popular AND they wished THEY had thought to use the "Under Pressure" bass hook (Doh!) as it was hating it because it was wack, or hating it because it was appropriative/exploitative, or hating it because they discovered what a dork the guy really was. It's like, folks loved that shit when it first came out and was still a bit of an underground phenonmenon - they wanted to be associated with it as far as liking it when it still had a bit of cachet to it, like look a white boy doing hip-hop and the bassline is funky or whatever, like the first month or whatever, then when the shit blew the fuck up, THEN cats really started to hate on it. Whatever. A lot - not all by any means, but a lot - of the flak Vanilla Ice takes is 100% jealousy. If he made the SAME record and was black, many cats would have just found some OTHER reason to hate on his ass that wasn't based upon race. Having said all of this I still fucking HATE and DESPISE that record, but to be fair, THE PEOPLE created Vanilla Ice and have nobody to blame for the ubiquitousness of that record but themselves. They loved that shit and they bought the 12 millions copies. Vanilla Ice has nothing to apologize for as far as I am concerned. And what star DOES NOT LIE about their life to the public? Like what stars do you know that consistently TELL THE TRUTH about anything?
Trying to find someone who will admit to listening to Vanilla Ice now is like trying to find someone who will cop to having been in favor of Vietnam back in the day. You know SOMEBODY was buying those records and there are a whole lot of lying motherfuckers out there.
Fuck apologizing. Dude made BANK, he doesn't have shit to apologize for. As long as he's apologizing, maybe we should get all those shitty disco and hair metal bands to apologize too. [Edited 3/9/09 23:04pm] | |

What does he have to apologize for? | |

Everybody who's asking why he's apologising or what have you needs to watch that video clip that I posted of him earlier a lot closer....actually, no, take that back.... LISTEN to his tone. It's quite obviously a joke. He's not serious about apologising for his baggy pants & hairdo and everything else that made him famous. | |
