Vanilla Ice was a creep, posuer and loser and is still a creep, posuer and loser. And his crimes are legion. Here's 6 off the top of my head:a) using 'wack' as a nounb) his freaking pompodour and bleached eyebrow streaksc) having only one good song, which oddly enough sounded much better when Queen and David Bowie did it first.d) "Cool as Ice, the motion Picture"e) Ninja Rap.f) his spastic dancingBeating up on Vanilla Ice feels like a civic duty.

Oaktown, dummy.
there's nothing wrong with Hammer's gangsta phase (although nothing beats Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em).
also, more major Hammer sins:
1. buying that house2. buying those horses3. buying off friends4. not knowing how not to buy stuff
Also "l'il Hank Aaron" should get props alone for his Athletics ballboy days.

Vanilla Ice actually saved and invested a lot of his early 90s money. He was good enough about it that he's still doing okay now. No bankrupctices, no selling off of the estate. He spends a lot of time on hobbies these days. He likes to travel.
Another thing that made Vanilla Ice more ridiculous than Hammer (and thus a reciever of more jokes/ironic app. than Hammer) is how he lied about his background. According to Ice, he grew up a streetwise thug in one of the worst parts of Dallas, TX. In truth, he came from a fairly nice, middle class suburb.

MC HAMMER, ''I GOT IT FROM THE TOWN''Yep, that MC Hammer. This new track from the onetime megastar cartoon rapper is destined to reside in the world's ''so bad it's good'' playlist for years to come. Attempting his umpteenth comeback, Mr. ''U Can't Touch This'' is now riding his native Bay Area's current hip-hop fad, hyphy, with a song that features passably bouncy drums and squelching synths. Thing is, while luminaries like 2Pac, Biggie, and Jay-Z progressed rap technique quite a bit since puffy pants were in style, Hammer has not really altered his pushy flow one bit. It's kind of remarkable, and kind of sad. At least listen to a snippet of the track on iTunes.

Seriously, I don't think I've EVER loved a song more than i loved "U Can't Touch This" when I was 10 years old. I would play it every day. Make pause tapes with it. Learn the dance moves. Type out the lyrics.
I would do just about anything to be once again so pure and unjaded for a song to touch me that deeply today.

Referred to in Vanilla Ice's beatbox song, "Havin' a Roni," is a virgin, according to Ice himself. However, the term is used often in hip hop, and is short for "tenderoni," which is defined as a "sweet girl."
Then again, Vanilla Ice can make up some dumb shit.

I went to a Milwaukee Bucks game and Vanilla Ice was the halftime entertainment, I kid you not. Considering how cheap our tickets were it was kind of a cool surprise. He was actually pretty good!! "Yo, I don't know about you guys, but I still love the Ninja Turtles", for real. Props for doing a pretty damn energetic Ice Ice Baby too and spawning the argument about how many times he has performed that song in his life. I would say it's close to a thousand by now.
His live album Extremely Live is really quite entertaining, if you can find it. Live drums instead of the processed ones that were on the album and some real funny moments along the way. Such as Ice trying to figure out how to do sex rhymes on the fly despite the fact that half the audience are teenagers. And a really awesome/hilarious Ice Ice Baby that goes for almost 10 minutes. Plus an early version of "Ninja Rap". Plus some DJ bits that were clearly backdrops to dance routines that obviously you cannot see, but somehow made the album anyway. The 1.08 average on RYM is heresay!!
― frogbs, Tuesday, 23 April 2013 22:02 (thirteen years ago)
Oh yes and they go bonkers for "I Love You" which may be legitimately one of the worst singles of all time. And a FOUR MINUTE version of "Havin' a Roni" with a rather sensual sax solo.

I was at a local festival and there was a dude with an acoustic guitar on stage. His last song was a cover of "Havin' a Roni". Including the beatbox part. I couldn't fuckin' believe it. That might be the single worst Vanilla Ice track. After he came off stage I told him "Havin' a Roni" was my favorite Vanilla Ice tune. He said "Me too".
