There's the saying from Dark Knight, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." With Ice it's kinda the other way around. Back in the day, people made fun of him and didn't take him seriously, now he's getting nothing but love. It's nice to see.

Suge established dominance in the room with his armed entourage, intimidating VI into signing over a percentage of his record sales...for no return. So Suge didn't literally hang VI over the railing, but the effect was the same. What's interesting to me is VI's positive outlook about that experience, and about life in general.

I have heard different versions of this story from Ice himself. In the 90s, he was on an ABC news show and narrated the story with fear and anxiety in his tone. However, in the following years, he downplayed the story, making it seem less sinister. While I understand that people tend to rationalize traumatic events over time, Ice's attempts to justify the ordeal as something for the greater good is a clear coping mechanism. The truth is, Suge threatened Ice and he had no choice but to submit. Even today, Ice may still feel humiliated and intimidated by the experience.

Technically you should be claiming royalties from all the death row sales, glad you're happy and well and can live you're life with dignity 🙂

I remember getting tickets to your show back in 1991 here in Ottawa, Canada. Everyone in my school was jealous because they could not go because it was sold out. I am happy I got to see you perform live even though I was really far back in the crowd. A few days after the show my Mom brought me to get a hair cut and I told the lady that I wanted a hair cut just like you. She replied that it was not possible because your hair cut was complicated and that you had people doing your hair for you. Then I said ok then, let's do an MC Hammer cut and then she laughed and whispered in my ear and said "he is black, it won't look good on you kiddo". The 90's were awesome thanks to you brother. You had a big part in starting up the 90's in a great way for music and entertainment. Thank you for the memories and good times!

Man that was a crazy story I always thought he was hungover the balcony but it's cool that he's able to take something like that and move it in a positive direction. If it's okay I'm getting strong armed by Suge Knight and his crew to create Dr Dre and The Chronic then I guess that's a pretty decent trade-off. Vanilla Ice is still doing well for himself and living comfortable and will be for the rest of his life

That's called a shakedown.

To be honest, I've got no respect for Suge or his so-called business background, the dude is where he belongs..

The town I live in has a sign as soon as you get off the exit that says home of Rob something writer of Play that funky music White boy. Always makes me think of your song not the Wild Cherry one. I've been enjoying your KZread channel last few weeks, glad see you're doing well.

That story of being hung over a balcony came from Vanilla Ice himself. It was in his Behind the music episode or one of those shows. I remember watching it and him telling the story. It's good that he can find the positive in his interaction with Suge Knight but it borders on victim denial and that's not right. Suge Knight was a menace and should never be written off as "I was glad to be a part of the rise of these other stars" in which Suge treated and exploited the same way. He just gave Tupac some money anytime Tupac would express concern about his financial situation. Same with Pebbles and TLC and same with a lot of others that exploited the artists they represented.

We love you Vanilla ❤️

Hola ice, fuiste el artista que cambió mi vida, aún recuerdo que un amigo de la secundaria me dijo que si ya había escuchado la canción de ice baby que la cantaba Vainilla ice y la tenía en su walkman de cinta, la escuché y me enamoré de esa canción por que tenía toda la actitud del mundo, yo no hablo inglés y me la aprendí como pude, obvió cantaba puras mentiras por qué no entendía el idioma, aún así la cantaba y gane varios concursos cantando ice baby, me casé joven y cuando llegaron mis hijos les inculqué el gusto por esa canción y hoy también a mis nietos les gusta gracias a esta canción mi hijo empezó a escribir canciones de rap en español y hoy busca tener la oportunidad de ser escuchado y todo comenzó aquel día cuando tenía 12 años por allá de los 90 cuando escuché por primera vez ice baby

Great attitude to have. You handled it very well.

Hi VI!!!!! You answered my question from your other video about Ice Ice Baby, and being hung over the balcony by SK!!! Thank you brotha!!! Sucks you had to give him anything, but I guess if you didn't, it could have ended badly! Either way, you are still a legend!!! Cheers!!! 007
