Vanilla Ice's debut single, which made him a star.
biography
With his hit single 'Ice Ice Baby' and its
accompanying album, 'To The Extreme', Vanilla Ice
became the second white rapper to top the
charts. Unlike the Beastie Boys, he didn't have any
street credibility, so the Miami-born rapper decided
to invent some of his own, claming he had a
seriously violent gangster past. Nevertheless, 'Ice
Ice Baby' became a number one hit late in 1990,
thanks to the pulsating bass riff from David Bowie
and Queen's 'Under Pressure'. 'To The Extreme' also
went to the top of the charts, spending 16 weeks
at number one and selling over seven million copies. Ice began filming a feature film,
'Cool As Ice', in the spring of 1990, but by the time the film came out in the fall, his
star had fallen dramatically. 'To The Extreme' was at number one longer than the
soundtrack to 'Cool As Ice' was on the charts.
Sensing that his time had passed, Vanilla Ice took a couple years off, re-emerging in
1994 with 'Mind Blowin'. Dispensing with the pop-rap formula of his debut, the rapper
adopted the lazy, rolling funk of Cypress Hill, as well as that trio's obsession with
pot. The album was a commercial disaster, disappearing from sight immediately after
its release. With 1998's 'Hard to Swallow', Ice attempted to reinvent himself as a
hardcore, gangsta-styled rapper - again the public wanted no part of it.
