"See, their song goes 'ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding', and mine goes 'ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/DING-ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding'. It's totally different."
— Vanilla Ice, comparing Queen's "Under Pressure" to his song "Ice Ice Baby"
I wanna see a double blind study on what percentage of people can accurately distinguish between ice ice baby and under pressure in the first few seconds.
Are they working alone, or do you envision groups who can stop, collaborate, and listen?
They only stop when it is time for the hammer. ✋️🔨⏰️.
Can’t touch this, because I’m too legit to quit.
I tried to get into his music, but then he told me to stop and I did.
"Alright now stop, colla-"
"Okay!"
He didn't leave, he just went on to invent metal.
Everyone knows Nickelback was the true creator of metal music.
what about Hanson?
Pretty sure Mmm Bop is credited with inventing scat music, which eventually caught on in jazz a bit.
Hmm... you might be onto something!
And after that His home improvement tv show… 9 seasons
Guys like Bob Vila walk the path Ice paved.
Red Green salted the Iced path, at least he's handy.
Genius fusion of ice to babies
Using his own completely unique music/melody as well. A true visionary.
Tbf plenty of rap was sampled at that time.
There was a problem and, yo, he solved it
And never seemed to be under pressure to return
No. No. He wasn't under pressure, he was under pressure. Totally different.
Get sued by David Bowie and leaves
Stop, collaborate and leave
He's pushing Street Fighter 2 Guyle energy
Ah 1990, the year rap was invented, yes
He was just too cold.
Too cold and plain
Who?
Multiverse Eminem
I don’t recognize him either, but from the references in the other comments I’m assuming it’s vanilla ice
I've self diagnosed with face blindness, but I tentatively recognized his hair lift.
The references confirmed it.
it's magneto
The actually useful answer. Thanks
chocolate rain
The inventor of rap apparently
Invents what???????
Uncle Vanny was Vanilla Ice this whole time?!
Pressurized Ice
Probably realized his mistake
The white MC Hammer.
"Bloodhound Gang and Rob van Winkle: Together on this track."
He genuinely could flow. He just was too caught up in trying to market himself (his rap / metal fusion album was a good example of lyrics trying to package a look).
Ice is a legend.
