I love your reaction videos .... you are very sincere and you know how to see the beauty of music and you don't fit into a single style .... you explore other trends, especially from the time when we were not born but maybe we have been in our emotional genetics. You are open and humble to accept suggestions ... you have a sensitivity for music. Particularly I am a super music lover so much that when I was little I listened to some songs from when my father was little, when listening to them for the first time I felt like an inexplicable nostalgia, since I did not live that time, I listened to them in my mother's womb? or when I was a baby, maybe .... and I think that has happened to many of us !!
He definitely should've released a workout tape because all I want to do when I hear this is move. One of my top 5 workout song and I don't exercise until it comes on.
Well in truth it's something the record label should have cleared via their legal department. He may not have been aware that he needed permission, as he was pretty young when he wrote this.
Pedro Valente Yes, he did wrongly get the blame, but today it wouldn't be ok. The record company would still require permission to sample an existing song. It's just that today record companies have learned that it's not worth the expensive lawsuits. It's also much more commonplace, so everyone is familiar with the procedure.
The first Rap song to reach #1 on Billboard. So he did pave the way even if he wasn't the first rapper, he helped bring it to the main stream, M C Hammer followed and etc.
@@TonyMontanaDS No one lost their minds except Queen's lawyers and the media. ALL rappers sampled other people's music back then. No one really cared about Vanilla Ice sampling Queen. Much like no one cared about Public Enemy and Ice T sampling numerous metal bands. Edit: in fact the only rappers I can think of that use original music are Zack from Rage Against The Machine, and the British rapper Akala. The majority of rappers back then and to this day tend to rap over remixes of other people's music. And that's not an insult, just a basic objective fact.
@@gregm5636 its not a ripoff cause its not the same song overall, the beat is the only thing, also they are hating it but they still listen to it, they are pathetic losers who hate watch
A lot of people say "he should have asked permission." People gotta remember a lot these dudes were kids and sampling often was without permission, but the songs weren't hits. It really comes down to poor management and shitty music execs not looking out for their artists.
@@docsavage8640 At the very least they had a vested interest in covering their own asses, but we gotta also remember that this was when a light was started to be shone on sampling being 'an issue' that needed 'weeding out'. People tended not to 'borrow' others' tunes before (not in a deliberate nod, anyway). Sucks what happened, tho.
Vanilla Ice did actually have some great lines in this song "Turn off the lights and I'll glow"..."Anything less than the best is a felony" and "If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram"... It was a great song even though he sampled Queen's song for the music. And he was smart...saved his money and is doing great.
I agree. I now realize how great and memorable the lyrics are in this song, and he’s actually a pretty good rapper. And I never gave him any props for the dancing. It’s pretty cool watching reactors being awestruck
I am 73 years old, sitting here tapping my feet. I love Rob, aka Vanilla Ice. He has come a long way since then with some not so nice interruptions to get to where he is today. One hit wonder was all he needed, too bad no royalties for it, but it was great for the day and still rocks.
You could not go to a club back in the day where this did not play. Everyone got on the floor to this song. I agree with comments below saying everyone said they hated this song but they secretly loved it. It is so catchy, how can you not love it? ;-p
There was a channel on regular TV back then where you could pay to call and vote for what video they would play. They played this almost every hour for a while.
I'm 48 now and still know all the words, I have this song on play list that play in my workshop every day. My daughter's 17 & 19 years old in 2021 know every word and will always rap along
My dad traveled for work and came home from a business trip with the cassette single of this song once that someone left on a plane seat. My brother and I were thrilled! LOL
My Childhood right here in this song! :-) Vanilla Ice ; "Ice Ice Baby", Snow; "Informer", MC Hammer ; "You Cants Touch This" Three cheesy tracks from my childhood that are CLASSICS! :-) (I'm 41 now!)
I worked at a place with the mentally disabled, and when this song was popular we would get in the living area and we would all have a dance party to this song and MC Hammer "Can't Touch This"...lol FUN! Running Man dance also very popular from this!!! I'm dancing... I love this song!! Ice was on Dancing with the Stars a few seasons back.
3rd view. My son walks out of convenience stores by the freezers of bagged ice telling the cashier they need some Vanilla over there. Cashier gives him a funny look so he replies “Ice Ice baby”
I'm not going to lie.. I was SO excited when I saw that you were doing a reaction to Vanilla Ice I couldn't click it fast enough and squealed like a little girl! 😂 I have met him several times and he is one of the nicest people on the planet And he can still to this day dance and sing like it's 1991! Love me some ICE and someday I will have those dance moves down 💕💃🎶🎵
Man this brings back great memories.Me and some buddies used to cruise the strip blaring this on our stereo systems.Thought we were so cool lol.Now were old and deaf.😂
I'm glad you just rated and reviewed his song and performance even when he did a bad thing.He has good things about him too.ALOT of people didn't wanna admit that he had a lot of talent cuz they didn't like him.But they should admit it.
My wife went to High School with Robbie Van Winkle. He had a rough childhood. Growing up on the mean streets of Carrollton/Farmers Branch TX. The drug laden halls of R.L. Turner High School. He had to drive cars from his dads used car lot. :)
“Cookin’C’s like a pound of bacon.” I was in my 20’s when the 80’s were kicking OFF. I had that 5.0 in all black.. Memories!! Lived through all is- it was a LOT of fun music.. So glad to see younger people exploring the 70’s& 80’s music scene!
He's actually said to be a really nice guy. I met him once, and from that experience he is one of the nicest people in the music industry that I've met (I worked festival security for several years, and it can be surprising who is rude as hell and who is nice). He treated workers and staff and fans very well. I think he was just really young and got screwed over by his label and was left on his own trying to defend what they created. I'm not saying he has zero responsibility. I just think he took the fall while people who carried more responsibility cashed the checks they earned from him then left him in the dirt.
Vanilla Ice wrote this song in 1983. If it had been released in the late '80s, it probably would not have seemed as ridiculous as it did in 1990-91, when rap changed to gangsta rap.
I’ve seen him in person with his kids. He lives in FL. Seemed nice. Doesn’t like talking about this era from what I’ve heard. The song has lots of FL references, his Hurricanes sweatshirt, A1A (road on the beach that runs through east FL). This is my childhood
He actually lives in Colorado now and has made peace with this song and his time in music and doesn't mind at all now to belt out any tune from his days in the 90s 👍💃💕
Great Jay. This song always reminds me of my son who very sadly passed away 5 years ago. I remember him singing this around the house. Such a happy memory thanks Jay. Check out his ninja rap tune. Thanks again respect Jay. 😇😊💖💕💖
I swear we are constantly quoting these lyrics or Vanilla’s explanation of how his beat is different than Under Pressure. Watch his interview where he’s saying - Under Pressure is ding ding ding dingy ding ding & mine is ding DING ding dingy ding ding. It’s hilarious l 💕
I don't really think it was right place, right time. I'm not usually a fan of rap but I think this is great and it would've done well whenever it came out. It's incredibly creative lyrically and his delivery is superb - the energy he brings to it is palpable, not to mention the choreography and dancing ability of all of the group members.
So cool you are checking out some of the vintage rap tunes!!! This song was an introduction for a lot of us white folks that hadn't heard rap yet!!! Other than Vanilla Ice stealing QUEENS baseline from their song, Under Pressure & getting sued for it, Vanilla was quite popular back in the day, & I cannot lie, I loved this song, & their dance moves!!! Vanilla kind of slid out of popularity after the QUEEN scandal, but nobody can take away the fact he was incredibly talented in rapping & his dance moves!!!
I don't know how true this is but I saw an interview with him that was fairly recent and he claims this song has sold 500,000,000 singles worlwide. They were talking specifically about the Queen lawsuit and he basically said Queen has made most of the money but he still gets mad royalty checks.
Apparently Ice bought the rights to Under Pressure since it was cheaper than a court battle with both Queen and David Bowie but Ice was still ordered to give them writing credits on the song which I believe may still entitle them to some royalties. He also later admitted that his interview where he defended Ice Ice Baby was different was complete BS
I suggest "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie,..Note: Vanilla Ice basically has been accused of lifting the main theme from them. Both are cool but Queen and David Bowie should have been cited as credit IMHO.
Nicole Ernst Boris Queen & Bowie took him to court...settled out of court & did get credited for the riff. VI also stole another riff...from Wild Cherry. You’d think his people would’ve learned from the 1st time🙄
@@kenwelch198 I think the point is that he did not credit Bowie/Queen and instead claimed he had written it. All rap artists sample, but they also credit who they have sampled.
How I remember listening to this on the old style Boom Box on nights - especially Friday & Saturday nights....made having Pizza a must each time listening to the best beats on nights. Still one of my all time Favorite songs
I'm not going to lie.. I was so excited when I saw you were doing a reaction to Vanilla Ice I couldn't click it fast enough and I squealed 😂 eeeeeeeeeek.. YES 💃💕🎵🎶
Jayvee I watch a lot of reaction videos and have to say I enjoy yours most, you always have that great big smile and enthusiasm and your personality makes you stand out Thank you Sir, keep them coming Fron a UK fan
I remember back in the 80s we'd get psyched because we'd think 'Under Pressure' was starting on the radio, then we'd be mad when it turned out to be Vanilla Ice....
.....also the same radio station that may play Queens Under Pressure was NOT going to play Vanilla Ice or Vice verse, so your statement is very made up lol
@@damondej _the same radio station that may play Queens Under Pressure was NOT going to play Vanilla Ice or Vice verse_ Maybe not in your particular cultural bubble, but In Denmark they would. We didn't have entire stations dedicated to a certain genre. Not in the early '90s anyway.
🤣😂 i was in a grocery store in St Croix when Al Yankovich’s “Rice Rice Baby” came in🤣 if i eat desert yo i deserve it,check out the menu while the waitress serves it. rice rice baby 🤣 still the funniest part is it was playing in the Publix grocery store
Vanilla Ice AKA Robert Van Winkle says in interviews so may be correct that he bought the rights to the song Under Pressure but publishing rights and probably royalties are shared.

Why jay? Oh I enjoy your channel so much but where is your new channel
I don’t care what anyone says, I loved this song.
It’s catchy as hell but it’s ripped off.
I agree
@@KTRS ur saying it like if this was the rap song that samples from old artist
Evagelina Dicante it’s not a sample, tho, he ripped off the baseline.
@@KTRS Biggie did the same thing with Juicy. Literally the song but he rapped over It.
3 decades later and STILL the choreography is T-I-G-H-T!
Right? Facts!
3 decades later and I still Knowhow the lyrics.
He definitely should've released a workout tape because all I want to do when I hear this is move. One of my top 5 workout song and I don't exercise until it comes on.
It’s legit! Lol
@Gary Glitterbomber quick to the point, to the point no faking. Cookin mcs like around of bacon.
What Vanilla Ice did in 1990, everyone does today. He just should have credited Queen.
Yeah he’s had the nerve to say that it’s not the same
Instrumental lol
@@MsLuvmusic81 LOL oh yeah, I remember that. "It's dum-dum-dum-da-da-da-dum. It's not the same 😏"

This song was a monster hit. A phenomenon.
Regardless of all the controversy over his use of Queens riff, this is still a great song. It's one of my favorite karaoke songs to sing.
Yup “Under Pressure” (with David Bowie)..
Its funny because sampling today is the least controversial thing but back then it was a huge deal. Of course denying they sampled it was problematic.
MC Hammer sampled Super Freak and no one cared. Vanilla sampled Queen a year later and everyone lost their mind.
@@TonyMontanaDS No one lost their minds except Queen's lawyers and the media. ALL rappers sampled other people's music back then. No one really cared about Vanilla Ice sampling Queen. Much like no one cared about Public Enemy and Ice T sampling numerous metal bands.

No one cares he used Queen's riff tbh. Just weird people. The only people who should care is Queen
EVERYONE knew the words to this song. It was unbelievably popular.

It’s so strange seeing younger generation loving this song. He was dragged all over the place for years. You can’t help but love this song.
Black rap producers that saw rap going soft plotted and took him down as the push for more harder rap.
You could not go to a club back in the day where this did not play. Everyone got on the floor to this song. I agree with comments below saying everyone said they hated this song but they secretly loved it. It is so catchy, how can you not love it? ;-p
Vanilla Ice is now in home renovator, has his own show called "The Vanilla Ice Project" last year was his 9th season.
That’s still on?
Yes.. I've caught some of the episodes
the guy is talented in all areas!
it's a decent show
“Vanilla Ice is now struggling to pay his creditors.”
There was a channel on regular TV back then where you could pay to call and vote for what video they would play. They played this almost every hour for a while.
I still love listening to this song, especially in my car. It's now officially 30 years old!!! This was the first rap song to ever hit #1.

Three cheesy tracks from my childhood that are CLASSICS! :-) (I'm 41 now!)

Ah nostalgia.... I know every word to this song
Same! I horrified my teens rapping along to this! 🤣
@Gary Glitterbomber I did in high school...
I was 11 when this came out. Definitely was doing these dance moves for sure. Now I’m old and it hurts lol!!
😄
The riff is from Queen + David Bowie = Under Preasure.. Vanilla Ice wrote this song when he was only..16 :) This is world famous.. :)
I do this at weddings, I did it once really nice, now it gets requested, get the whole wedding party JUMPIN!!! NICE

We need to bring "Word To Your Mother" back!!!!!
And actually Ice Ice Baby’s entry bass line was from Queen (and David Bowie’s) song Under Pressure!
Yeah but now when I hear under pressure I start singing ice Ice baby lol
Ice Ice Baby is the better song.
released 1989!! WOW!! I was surprised myself how old I was, LOL...
Thanks Vanilla Ice is amazing as well
This was HUGE when my kids were teens. Still sounds great!
Ice was the first hip hop artist to sell a million copies and funded production of Pac and Snoop for Suge.
A1A Beachwood Avenue is the main drag in Daytona Beach, Florida! ❤️
That entire CD was good! 💛❤️✌️✨
AGREE!
An all time classic! Love it. You cant HELP but move to this song!
Hard not to tap your feet to the beat. The last time I saw Robert Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice) he was doing a show renovating mansions 😀
He plays himself in Adam Sandler's movie That's My Boy
What's your name? Robert Van Winkle. Why did you change it? Nothing rhymes with Winkle.
My wife went to High School with Robbie Van Winkle. He had a rough childhood. Growing up on the mean streets of Carrollton/Farmers Branch TX. The drug laden halls of R.L. Turner High School. He had to drive cars from his dads used car lot.

Vanilla Ice is a great dancer----- (looks around) that's it!!!--- Lolol
Credit John Deacon, the bass guitarist of Queen, for coming up with it.
Not the same riff, similar, but not the same.
Courts didn't agree...Vanilla had to pay 5 million dollars to Queen who gave it to charity.
Its impossible to duplicate the greatest band of all time...Queen
Dude was a underrated rapper for sure.

Your welcome hehe...when I heard this jam in 1991, it took off like wild fire nation wide. The Ice man's rhyming is the cleanest around. A natural.
It`s crazy but I appreciate it more now that I`m older..always liked it! But never paid attention to his dance moves and rhymes.
True. I think we took it for granted
More high school memories... ☺️

This song was huge when I was about 14. And he had a movie. Cool as Ice. Remember that? I think he does a renovation show now.
I had a Vanilla Ice Barbie Doll. I’ve been a ‘Nilla fan since he hit! Classic.
Love this song, great reaction! ❤
I remember back in the 80s we'd get psyched because we'd think 'Under Pressure' was starting on the radio, then we'd be mad when it turned out to be Vanilla Ice....
That’s funny .. like when I think walk this way by Aerosmith is about to play and it turns out to be run dmc
That’s very weird since the song came out in the 90’s...
.....also the same radio station that may play Queens Under Pressure was NOT going to play Vanilla Ice or Vice verse, so your statement is very made up lol
@@damondej It depends on the country, man.

Maybe not in your particular cultural bubble, but In Denmark they would. We didn't have entire stations dedicated to a certain genre. Not in the early '90s anyway.
🤣😂 i was in a grocery store in St Croix when Al Yankovich’s “Rice Rice Baby” came in🤣 if i eat desert yo i deserve it,check out the menu while the waitress serves it. rice rice baby 🤣 still the funniest part is it was playing in the Publix grocery store
Loved it when I was in highschool still love it today ❤️
Takes me back to dancing at recess in elementary. Back then was cassettes and boomboxes. We used to try to copy his ninja dance moves lol
Vanilla Ice AKA Robert Van Winkle says in interviews so may be correct that he bought the rights to the song Under Pressure but publishing rights and probably royalties are shared.
JV... 'Growing up in the 2000's' 🤣
Surely it's Hammertime!
