now who are you guys again that was just
a little break dancing kid I was
cardboard and spin on my head and big
Jambox and everything it’s hard for us
to remember now just how big vanilla ice
was in the 90s he came he saw he
conquered and then well he proved Andy
Warhol write about those 15 minutes he
was a clown he was kind of a fool he had
the one song and was like nobody took
you know vanilla ice seriously that I
knew I mean he was just a kind of a you
know a passing fancy but there are two
sides to every story people think it’s
an overnight success but there was three
years there where I had to really pay my
dues Robert Van Winkle released his
first single at age 22 but nothing much
happened until a DJ flipped the record
one year later and plays the b-side and
it just created a massive you know just
went around the world so fast and nobody
even knew what color I was song with
number one and everybody thought I was
black because it was at the time it
seemed very strange that a white guy
would be pretending to be a rapper that
just seemed it seemed wrong good music
is good music music has no color he
seized the moment and I love what he did
because it was a standing ovation for
hip hop culture and hip hop culture
comes from the ghetto it comes from the
hood it comes from the streets and I
don’t care who takes it to the world
[Music]
ice ice baby doesn’t that are than thin
under I mean come on it’s a riff on like
under pressure David Bowie song
so obviously the beat was good the
genius was the fact that he found this
thing that we already loved and were
ready to embrace again and when I heard
that sample he didn’t have to say
nothing I was ready to go back
