'Mind Blowin''
Vanilla Ice, 1994
Rise: 'Ice Ice Baby' was the first hip-hop single to hit No. 1 on the pop charts.
Fall: Exposure of the former Robert Van Winkle's suburban background fueled jokes about the original white gangsta's street cred, as did a tale of allegedly being dangled off a balcony by Suge Knight.
Stats: 'To the Extreme' (1990), 7 million; 'Mind Blowin',' 42,000

It may have also help his sales had someone put a little more effort in his marketing. I've seen unsigned locals who put more effort in there packaging than their music. That album cover is an insult. Although, it is spot on with the contents of the CD. So the saying stands... "You can't polish a TURD" But, you can (and should) change the plate it's served on.

I think Vanilla Ice was forced to rap in the Industry. Being the only ''white'' rapper at the time, his record label knew they would make alot of money selling albums to white kids in suburban and upper class neighborhoods. I think it was all set up for him to rap at the time. ''ice ice baby'' was a cool song he did, even the Queen was the orginal band that did the song.

What's REALLY frightening is that is first album sold 7 million copies!
This should make just about anyone question their belief in evolution....

I admit...I liked "Ice Ice Baby". Didn't Suge Knight beat the shit out Vanilla Ice?

Queen should have kicked his ass for ruining such a great song.

Even though the late, great Freddie Mercury was AIDS-ridden at the time, I still think he would have kicked Ice's ass for ruining a Queen classic if given the chance.
