Saludos Vanilla ice . Te hablo en español por que no hablaba inglés viendo escuchaba tu música . Tenía yo 15 años en Morelia Mexico en 1990 cuando iba al CBTis 149 . around that time I moved to the USA and now I understand what you were talking about but Back in the day your music was it and it’s still good today

As a 90s kid, I’d like to apologize on behalf of my generation for how we treated you. We thought we were too cool for you. You were too cool for us. Vanilla Ice is immortal.

@@NoRockinMansLand It’s hard to explain if you weren’t there, but I’ll try. Around 1991-92, there was a dramatic, sudden shift in popular culture in the US. Suddenly, the flamboyant, outrageous style of music and fashion from the 80s was replaced by more raw, serious, and dark aesthetic. In black music, you saw the shift to gangsta rap from new jack swing. The fluorescent, over-the-top clothing and crazy choreographed dance moves from the MC Hammer/Bobby Brown era suddenly seemed acutely corny compared to Dr Dre, Wu Tang, A Tribe called Quest, and many others. A parallel phenomenon happened in white music at the same time with grunge and alternative replacing flamboyant pop metal almost overnight. If you were a teen in 1994, getting called “80s” was one of the worst insults you could get. There was a similar shift at the end of disco era, and ironically 70s styles only became cool again in the 90s. Due to death of the monoculture, there hasn’t been another cultural shift that dramatic since then and there may not ever be one again.

@@nicky2coats thanks a lot for this, very insightful. I always figured there was a cultural shift, I just didn't know it was that dramatic. As a younger guy I can say we've had some of our own but it's nowhere near as sudden, more of a gradual thing. For example, the move to social media like instagram and snapchat in the mid 2010s, the popularity and cultural dominance of tiktok in the early 2020s recently, increased tension between genders. But as far as I know there has not been that big of a shift in music, in fact that shift to gangsta rap seems to have only grown and spread and only became worse with genres like drill. But I feel like a lot of people are tired of the constant negativity, I have some optimism about where things could go

​@@bobothebob4716​, agreed. I'm not quite 40, and I often think my era was one of the best (90s to early 2000s). However, I do feel like the early 2000s and earlier decades felt more distinctly their own than recent ones. I do think we tend to be partial to the eras that influenced us up to our mid-20s though. I grew up with 60s to 80s being glorified by the people around me while experiencing the 90s and 2000s firsthand. I very much enjoy the music and clothing from those decades. We look back on pre-computer and social media times as awesome even looking at times from before we were born as something to desire. Kids today might experience anxiety at the thought of living in those times, though lol.

I was a freshman and my boyfriend was a senior and every morning he picked me up for school in his old 60’s remodeled Ford truck…blasting this song. Good Memories 😆

Smiles are contagious and free. This takes me back...when life was easy and just having fun.

U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command, Orlando Florida, October 1990, Company C186. We hadn't been allowed to listen to music for 5 weeks, and somebody tuned a boom box to a local radio station. This was the very first non-military music we'd all heard in 5 weeks. It came on, and 86 dudes danced and jammed to the best damn thing we'd heard in 5 weeks, Ice Ice Baby. The feeling was like finding cool water served by a beautiful woman in the desert. I don't care what's been said about it in the last 34 years, I'll never forget how good this song was in that moment. And for that, me and the recruits of Company C186 thank you.

This song will never get old.

To this day sometimes during karaoke whether it’s me or someone else, if I or they rap ice ice baby everyone loves it. You should bring it back and redo it again just for the hell of it. lol

I'm 50 and originally from Chicago, IL (White, 6'4"). So I embraced the Vanilla Ice vibe. I had a '89 Mustang (fox body hatchback). I built a speaker box with 2 Kenwood 12" subwoofers and I bought a used Rockford Phosgate amp. That was the cool thing to do back then. I graduated in 1991 and joined the military shortly after. Fast forward about 23 years and I'm the senior enlisted dude in my squadron, and at our Christmas party that year, we were doing karaoke. All of the young troops wanted me to get up and sing. I had the DJ cue up Ice Ice Baby, and proceeded to school the whole squadron in the coolness of Vanilla Ice. Don't care what anybody says, this song brings up good memories of my childhood and simplier times. This song will always have a place in my heart. Word to your mother.....

It's so funny. One of my grandbaby's first words was Ice and I called her baby. So when she was tiny...like 10 months old I started playing this video for her because it said something she could say. It's now "our" song. It brings back great memories. Thank you for making so many people happy.

If you didn't live through that era you really don't understand how big that song was. It went to #1 in the country in 1990. I was 21 so I had just started going to clubs and when it came on everybody freaked the hell out and was dancing like crazy trying to imitate those dance moves.

Most people who grew up in the 90s would go back to the 80s, or 70s, or 60s, or 50s... but wouldn't want to go near growing up in the 2000s, or 2010s, or 2020s..

Proves how shitty this era is. Don't tell me you love today's Bidenomics and post-PLANdemic. Or people with their face on their phones all day? (1:40) "We never thaught that computers were coming and would just ruin the world and the way we did everything"

Hearing you actually break it down is dope. Play this song in any bar to this day and everyone is singing along. Thanks for making people all over the world feel good

Thanks for being there, and thanks for being here and now, Vanilla!

I get goosebumps everytime i listen to this. He's got it till now. And the massive impact he's had on us 90s kids cannot be discounted. Luv yah vanilla ice 😅

The beat is sick, the lyrics are brilliant, and the dance moves are sick. Absolutely CLASSIC. *****UPDATE******The Originators of this fantastic beat/bassline are Queen & David Bowie, and they deserve the credit for their Artistry. That said, I think it's genius what Ice was able to 'do' with the beat. Queen and David Bowie were both Phenomel Artists, and I was a huge fan of Bowie when I was a teen. Later, I became a fan of Queen. There was no master of the stage like Freddie Mercury. Nonetheless, I am definitely a fan of 🧊 ICE.

​@mikemcway6555 I looked up Under Pressure and was amazed by that awesome Bassline. I realized I had heard that song before a long, long time ago (probably back in the days of Night Trax on MTV). I was a fan of Queen and a huge fan of David Bowie in my teens. Whoever wrote that bassline was a genius.

He should be very proud of this! Ice Ice Baby has been remixed, bootlegged, integrated in DJ sets, and featured so much in pop culture. It still holds today. Such an iconic hit.

Funny, in Michigan they played it for I believe 12 or 24 hours straight until new years day at midnight. As soon as it would end it would start again. I remember driving to the college where we were going to party with my friends and I heard it and I was like, ok, I like this song. Me and my buddies didn't know the gimmick yet, and after like the third time I'm like did the DJ fall asleep? Then we kind of figured it out. But I never wanted to hear it again after that because it was on at my friends apartment when we got there and I must have heard it 10 more times before everyone couldn't take it anymore. Hilarious memory.

It's similar with actors that get typecast. I remember reading James Doohan lamenting getting acting work after Star Trek, and he said his dentist told him he was going to be Scottie forever, so he might as well embrace it. And he said he was glad he did, because he ended up having a lot of fun with it. I think he was the first one to start appearing at conventions because the other actors were still trying to distance themselves for the sake of their careers. But Jimmy just became even more beloved and he earned love, even if he didn't earn a lot of money (until the movies came out, obviously). And there was the unexpected side effect that a lot of people credited him with inspiring them to go into engineering. Colleges heard that from students so much, I know at least one of them (MIT?) had him as their commencement speaker and gave him an honorary degree for making engineering so cool that it sparked a revival in the discipline. I think Vanilla is in the same stage of his life. He has made a success for himself in other areas, so the typecasting isn't harmful to him anymore, and now he can look back (as the other Star Trek actors eventually did) at the impact he had on the culture at the time and the nostalgia he inspires in people even today, and he can enjoy it.

Yo man. Thanks for being a part of the culture growing up. When I was in elementary, I had your poster up on the wall, had your hair cut, and memorized the lyrics (and know it by heart to this day) My nerdy self joined a dance group to impress the girl I liked and this was the song we danced to for the school's dance competition. I didn't get the girl but I was happy and proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone and getting introduced to rap and dancing. Yes, you were my gateway drug to rap, and for the longest time I was embarrassed and ashamed to admit it (for no reason whatsoever, just being a sheep I guess) Thanks a lot, man. I am so happy and proud of you for embracing who you are, for not getting fame into your head, and for being such a great role model over the years.

All the best Robert! You don't imagine how many emotions it triggers and memories brings up in me! You're a good man! VIP!
