I dont get the extreme reactions he received. Looking at the genre overall at that point in time, he doesn't actually stand out. Except for being white.

You mean like 95% of rap acts?

Dude is the living embodiment of the Chad meme. Look at him.
Also being a landlord is based. Cope and seethe commies. You will never be a lord.
Jaxon Miller
His rhymes was wack
Kevin Gomez
shitty flow, raps like the priest that said the n-word

Ice Ice Baby has some of my favorite lines in rap history.
>deadly when I play a dope melody
>anything less than the best is a felony
>so fast other DJs say “daaamn”
>if rhyme was a drug, I’d sell it by the gram
>quick to the point, to the point no fakin’
>cooking MC’s like a pound of bacon
>girlies on standby, waiting just to say hi
>”did you stop?”
>nah, I just drove by
Ryan Garcia
So elegantly proved my point
Carson Reed
Those are great lines. If you think rap is meant to be serious, I have bad news for you.
Jaxson Ramirez
most songs from that era sound just as silly. just with a black accent
John James
>GUNSHOTS
>RING OUT LIKE A BELL
>I GRABBED MY NINE
>ALL I HEARD WAS SHELLS
I think people forget that Ice Ice Baby is about a drive-by shooting.
Thomas Cox
He's wack.

mc hammer used to ride with a 100 niggas, he made pop rap but he was still part of the culture (the other acts at that time were political in nature)
vanilla ice was nothing but a machine gun kelly
Jaxon Thomas
no one cares when black people do stupid shit for other blacks as the target audience, they arent so stuck up or judgemental
its only the whites who are so fucking sensitive
the stolen song controversy with ice ice baby. yeah its called sampling, every rapper does it
Noah Cox
this is why chuck D wanted to sign him. not only owning a white pop rapper, but he knew he wouldn't have to deal with all slimeballs that came along with the more 'street' acts.

lmao
Andrew Wood
hes joking in that clip.
Asher Allen
Look at all the music blacks “invented,” they always got MOGGED by every other race when those races started to play too. With hip hop, they have tried really, really hard to keep white people out, because blacks can’t actually compete with anyone.

whites cant into jazz, only some make it.
just like whites cant into rap, only some make it.
it has to do with a lifestyle (aka culture). you cant make "good" metal if you dont understand metal.
Christopher Johnson
It's like Rakim never existed with this fucking hack. There's absolutely no excuse for being this shitty in 1990. In 1984? Sure, but it'd still be bad, just not extremely so.
Josiah Baker
Vanilla Ice's controversy wasn't because of his music, it was because of this He got humiliated because he had gangster lyrics but then got bullied and robbed by Suge Knight , it was a media humiliation of him
Hudson Price
>bullied and robbed by Suge Knight
damn, that's unironically embarrassing
Daniel Fisher
everyone loved Ice Ice Baby, probably the most severe backlash of all time, in less than 2 years everyone pretended he sucks. but i believe in all honesty that 99 percent of people love this song, it's fucking great. if you claim to hate it i want you to have a polygraph because you're lying
Ryan Martinez
The only good or memorable thing about Ice Ice Baby is the Under Pressure sample.
