Vanilla Ice Gets Into the Tax Biz
- Posted on Feb 14th 2007 3:12PM by David Sprague
You'd think that a person who's had no discernible source of income for, oh, a decade or so wouldn't be terribly familiar with the intricacies of the current tax code -- but that's not stopping Vanilla Ice from leaping into the fray and addressing that pressing topic with one of his typically incisive rhymes.
The artist formerly known as Rob Van Winkle -- or, depending on the situation, "hey, waiter!" -- has hooked up with the folks at Intuit software, who decided that it'd be a grand idea to promote the latest version of their TurboTax software with a ditty titled 'Tax Rap.' While we have to admit there's something a bit heart-warming about hearing the phrase "audit defense maximizer" in a song not written by Coheed and Cambria, we'd still be more likely to pony up for the product if it were endorsed by MC Hammer -- who's no doubt far more familiar with the inside of an IRS office.

Well you know that who ever is a singer, actor, actress don't really have to work hard for there money i mean they do work hard but my opinion is they get money handed to them but people that work in factorys get paid hardly nothing while they go around and waist money with out think twice about it when in the real world it is hard to come up with a thousand dollars just to save. and people in the real world bust there ass to make ends meet and whats the chance any one out of there circle can ever be something like them unless you know people who can get you in there circle.

doesnt really matter when the CD came out. It only matters if any one actually bought it. ANd that answer is no.

Actually, Hard to Swallow came out in 1998. Maybe you should do your research before correcting someone.

(Directed toward comment 1, not the article) Maybe you should learn to spell. Besides, it's not as if Hard to Swallow was a critically acclaimed masterpiece that made him millions of dollars. Apparently you loved it and love Vanilla Ice or are somehow related to Vanilla Ice to take it this personally. As for me...just bored I guess. Ok gotta go
