Damn his clothes game was on point on this cover.

Ice Ice Baby is dope. Tell me a ? wasn't boppin their head to that ? .
You ain't need to know how to dance, just ? a chick from the back -
-
any dude who tries to front like he didnt like ice ice baby the first time he heard it is a ? liar. i was jamming like a ? to this ? back in 1990.
thank ? for vanilla ice and that hotel balcony. if not for him we may never have had death row. -

this song and Humpty Dance blew up the summer of 90
but for whatever reason, when I first heard them both, I thought they were parody songs, especially Humpty. I never seen a video get played randomly on TBS in 1990. It got played randomly during commercial breaks and in between shows..........on T....B.....S. TBS NEVER had a video show, and if they did, it wasn't a rap show.
Ice's whole getup was phony to me, so I thought it was all a joke that got popular and maintained staying power. -
That whole VANILLA ICE AND M C HAMMER movement was a important part of hip hop. ? might disagee but the music had lots of energy and the lyrics weren't bad. I didn't agree with the clothes but lots of ? was on it. It was trend setting. Hip Hop is supposed to make you dance. And both of them mufuckas were great performers. I would rather do the HAMMER DANCE THAN THE STANKY LEG ANY DAY. LOL

thank you vanilla ice. death row records and rap fans everywhere are forever grateful

Not gonna lie, I like ice ice baby *shrugs*
But I never heard this album -
Here's why Vanilla Ice had to sign over the rights to Ice Ice Baby; There's a black fraternity called Alpha Phi Alpha. The Ice Ice Baby chorus belongs to them.
Spike Lee directed a movie called School Daze which was released in 1988, two years before Vanilla Ices song. Here is a scene from the movie where the Alphas are stepping to the tune of Ice Ice Baby, two years before Vanilla Ice's song.
Its ludicrous for Vanilla Ice to say he made up that chorus

They actually had a video show that came on late nights called night tracks.this song and Humpty Dance blew up the summer of 90

OK, i never knew they had a show. I just researched it. I only watched TBS back then for WCW wrestling and Atlanta Hawks games. LOL!!!
I guess they used Humpty Dance as bait to watch a show that came on at odd hours of the night on Friday and Saturday night/morning. Just reading about it, the show went through major format changes due to the changing landscape of popular music. During that era of the early 90s, Alternative and Rap took over the game, so I see how Humpty got play on TBS. Even though the video would randomly come on during the day outside the shows time slot, I thought the song was a parody due to Humpty's appearance and the video was silly. -

I remember the beef competition he had going with kid n play. ? was funny. I remember he was winning for awhile b/c everybody was pulling for the under dog and wanted to see the white boy win. But kid n play dropped house party and it was a wrap after that. -

You know what's crazy, I remember watching School Daze way after "Ice Ice Baby" came out & I remember watching the scene with the Alpha doing their steps & I was like " isn't this from the Vanilla Ice track?"
But it make sense because School Daze came out in '87 & "Ice Ice Baby" drop in '89
Plus he was getting in trouble for not clearing the sample for the track too -

^^^ That song is horrible compared to what KRS, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Public Enemy, Stetsasonic, NWA, Too Live Crew, Too Short, etc. were doing at the time. -
