Great Reaction! He actually was singing, " If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram!"🙃 I am always amused when people think Vanilla Ice is a " One Hit Wonder" This song was such an explosive single hit for him it caused a lot of people to not take time to realize he was more than a " One Hit Wonder"... Vanilla Ice has 25 hit songs, 6 studio albums, 1 live album, 2 compilation albums, 3 video albums, 24 music videos and a remix album... but " Ice Ice Baby" was the FIRST hip hop single to top the billboard charts. It helped diversify hip hop by introducing it to the mainstream white audience and you could say the rest is history! Vanilla Ice ( a.k.a. Rob Van Winkle) Is not only a rapper, singer, producer and actor he is also a construction contractor and has a t.v. show " The Vanilla Ice Project" Where he does home improvement reno's so he can " flip and sell" homes.
Releasing 25 songs isn't the same as having 25 hits. Ice Ice Baby was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. He had another song that peaked at #4. He only had two other songs appear on the top 100, and neither of them peaked in the top 50. If it helps, you can think of him as a two hit wonder.
I am starting a twinsthenewtrend fan club! I cannot tell you how much y’all do for my mental health. And the fact you’re never crude or inappropriate is so rare, you are just awesome. Fun fact: Queen’s “Under Pressure” plays at the beginning.
@@lilcheckrs09 No. Sampling is done with the original artist's permission. This was out and out stealing...that he tried to pass off as his own....then got taken to court..and lost. This is all available on Google. It is very well known. Listen to Under Pressure by Queen...that is who sued him.
@@godisgreat9622 basically, they weren’t allowed secular music growing up and now they’re older they probably use streaming sites which don’t offer up classics if you don’t know about them.
Thanks to this ’reaction generation’, we get to see all the white people judged for being ‘racist’ for saying some black people ‘sound white’, exonerated.
😆 omg.... I just LUV the way these 👯♀️ twins👯♂️ react to music that blows em away ‼️‼️ Especially the dude on the left w/the do-rag. He is feelin’ it GenuinE‼️ ❤️❤️❤️ it✌🏼
Yes it is!! I’m so happy they reviewed it without any noise in their ears and they LOVED it Lololol I’ve already watched it about seven times because I love their pure reaction plus I love listening to this song...Vanilla Ice kind of screwed himself unfortunately because he actually was very very good
@@thehobotographer6860 On this song? He sampled Bowie/Queen on this one. He wasn't the first to sample songs. It seems like he got sued and won somehow.
I was in high school when this song came out you couldn't escape it . vanilla Ice was the bomb back in my day not only he had bars but had game that was hard to touch! He was on the seen before M&M .
Omg, I loved "In Living Color". The twins should actually react to some of their skits! So damn funny! All my friends would get together every week to watch it!!!
Vanilla Ice and En Vogue opened for MC Hammer at the UIC Pavillion in Chicago. That was one of the Hottest concerts I've ever seen. They all brought down the House!! The entire audience was up on their feet dancing and going crazy in the aisles. Loved those days!
People nowadays give him so much crap, the guy sold millions of records, yes records not downloads, had #1 hit and was known allover the world, respect to Vanilla ice from Australia 🇦🇺
I was disgusted at the backlash that vanilla ice got. All these rappers were in their feelings cuz he was white,fine as hell and can dance. He earned that coin. It was a great song. They were mad they loved it on the low.
My brother used to make sit at home and record Yo! MTV raps. His teen years were the 80s my teen years were the 90s. He frisbees my cassette of this. B side was “Stop That Train”
I wish people would stop saying that everyone knew the words. LOL 🤦 I was born in 84 and this was my first time listening to the song. The only part I ever heard was Ice Ice baby and that was enough for me not to wanna hear it. I still feel the same. 😂
This is where I questioned if they'd really never heard it before, because come on, doesn't everyone know that Vanilla Ice is white??? But then I realized how old the song is and how young these guys are. LOL Love it. This song was my jam in the 8th grade. Damn I'm old.
I think Ice was behind his time, so to speak. He hit it big in 1990, about the same time that gangsta rap did, which made all that crazy clothing and choreographed dancing look ridiculous. A year or two earlier, Ice might have been criticized less.
Play this at a gathering of folks, between the ages of 30 and 60... they still get excited and jam out to it. I've watched live rock bands cover this; always a crowd pleaser.
Funny thing is blacks accept him more than whites. Look at Eminem they calling em a trailblazer but forgetting who crossover first into black community hip hop.
Yeah, he was mocked after he smashed the charts with the biggest selling rap single of all time and cashed out. The sample introduced a ton of people to “Under Pressure” too!
I'm 53 and scrolling through the comments. I see a bunch of older people taking great joy in watching these young guys discovering and enjoying the music from our youth. It doesn't seem like there's young people their age making any comments? It's all older people saying "Check this song out!" I can't explain it, but it's just fun!
Yup, I love watching these young men find joy in the music I grew up listening to. (Age 59) I am new to your channel have you listened to Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody?
@@fumblebunny1993 Well said, Fumble Bunny! I find that young people these days are far more likely to reach back for, listen to, and enjoy "our" music than my students in past decades. People bash millenials and Gen. Z'ers, but I find them to be far more eclectic and accepting in their musical choices and attitudes than their parents. Glad they're making such great choices for entertainment! It's a hard word, and music gets us through it. It's the soundtrack of our lives, and our playlist should be as diverse and rich as we all are! Have a great day!
I laughed so hard just now. Funny thing though.... When I was a kid, I thought the same thing then eventually see the video on VH1 or MTV. I was like "What!" lmao.
He's a contractor now and has a show were he remodels maga mansions. It's on DIY channel. You can stream it. It's called the Vanille Ice Project. He really does some amazing things to these mansions.
I was young and dance maniac when this song hit the World stage. People all over the World went nuts over Vanilla Ice. Epic moment in Music History. Glad to see you both enjoyed this song. Respect from 🇨🇦💕
I'm white. And I'm captitalizin' On a trend that's currently risin' Fuck man I watched that live and was LMFAO. I was young as hell. I was so excited about their show ( in living color )after watching I'm a get you sucka.
omg me too laughing so hard. Like - ummm yeah. I remember having a lot of friends who were very dismissive of this guy, because he was white. So funny. But yet, everybody knew the words.
@@charlesjonessr3684 people are bias, thats why they are little bitches who hate on something that they don't truly hate, thats one of the things thats wrong with people
There's a reason this was, for its time, the biggest song ever. We'd never heard anything like it before. Vanilla Ice is a huge reason hip-hop is as popular as it is today
No. Some of it was warranted but the sheer hate he got. It was jealousy. He can't help it that he was a good looking white dude and therefore more "marketable". It wasn't right that he got all that attention over better more talented black artists but that's not his fault. Blame the "powers that be" in the music industry for that.
@smakfu Yeah. It's everyone's guilty pleasure which is so high school. Hating something just because you're told to. Glad the twins aren't jumping on that bandwagon.
Vanilla Ice had catchy beats, that's what made him! Cool thing about him is that he is an awesome businessman. He took the money that he made during his rap career and became a contractor. He's now making millions renovating million dollar homes!
Yesssss! I have begged so many reaction channels to do both of these! ESPECIALLY Rappers Delight!! Know every word to it- has the album as a kid- listened to it constantly! And Paul Revere! 🎤Just he and his horsie and quart of beer.. 🎤🤣😉
ushakur I was Surprised that my husband, who is from the West Coast, had never heard of Ini Kamoze! We are only two years apart in age. I’m guessing not every song is played in every market? But Hotstepper was so popular!
I love these guys. I love that as young African Americans their minds, hearts, and ears seem open to all types of music. That's just enough to make this 49 year old Caucasian cry!!! Love you boys.
Does my heart good to see you guys vibing on this track. You guys not knowing the controversy surrounding it before hearing it proves it stands up as a hip hop classic, as most people tried to pretend it didn't.
Not me. The song was huge but I was 8 in 1990 & I listened to a radio station that didn't play top 40 (in the car my mom played oldies & my dad played classical). I'd never seen this video before today! My family didn't have cable (long story) and once the internet let us look for videos I never thought to look for this song.
I hated that song. Especially because dumbass lied about the sample he used. As if he could write the music to "Under Pressure." The MAIN reason people liked it was because of the hook. And the hook was "Under Pressure"
This shit was tight. The music, the lyrics, the beat, the moves. All of it. Was there in the clubs when it came out. Very little got people moving the way this song did. So he was not ACTUALLY from the streets as he implied. He still knocked this one out of the park. He sampled without credit and it cost him but the song is his.
And on Nov. 3, 1990, rap cemented its finally unignorable mainstream influence with its first-ever No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100: Vanilla Ice's “Ice Ice Baby.”
People only stopped listening to him once the story of Shug Knight hanging him over a balcony started to come out...nobody supports a loser. Fast forward 20 years and now who's the loser? One's in jail and the other renovates homes on HGTV 🤷🏾♀️
OK, I didn't hear that. Tell me more. I'm familiar with the 5 Heartbeats' character Big Red doing this. It was supposed to have happened to Jackie Wilson.
@@sereneamani1713 Yep Robert Van Winkle “ Vanilla Ice” real name told the story himself . Suge Knight didn’t want to pay him and forced him to sign over the rights to all of his music
I never heard about that. I did know that Queen threw a fit because Vanilla Ice sampled "Under Pressure". That generated a lot of negative press back in the day (at least, as I recall it).
Someone somewhere once said "He was too white for the black crowd and too black for the white crowd" 🤷🏾♂️ Idk bout all that, but the dude could and still can rap good. Dope reaction y'all 💯💯
You Are So Right!! He Did His Thing & Did So Very Well ! It Was That Bullshit Mindset Of He’s Too Black He’s Too White That Stopped Him From Going To The Next Level💔 Could You Imagine Someone Saying That To Eminem!! NOPE?? Me Either!!
Very, very good song! It makes you wanna move, and the lyrics… relevant even to this day, especially when you measure it to what they are saying today!!! You go boy!!!
@@Fyurae hi there-I can no longer find it! Maybe Run DMC took it down? Same thing happened with Whitney Houston and "I Have Nothing." It was up for a couple of days and then taken down. I know Tim (on the left) had some issues with the channel almost being taken down a few months ago. Sorry man!
That's the thing that kind of gets lost in the history of Hip Hop... there were so many people responsible for bringing it to the mainstream and perpetuating the sound...paving the way for others. That 85-95 span is pure gold... Run DMC, Beastie Boys, NWA, Public Enemy, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, Cypress Hill... Tribe... even Rage... and I know I'm missing a ton of others.... But everybody was doing their thing.
People hate so hard, but to be real, this had a great beat and a few pretty sweet lyrics. “Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know. Turn off the lights, and I glow.” And “Stop, Collaborate and Listen” is still pretty sweet. Respect.
I actually use "Stop! Collaborate, and listen" as my attention getter for my 8th graders. I say "Stop!" And they repeat the rest, they know it's time to work.
Lol. Rap songs from that era had a TON of curse words (see NWA for one example). They just couldn’t put them in videos because MTV was the only platform for music videos then. If there had been a platform like UA-cam back in the day there would be no difference between then and now.
📺 Have always preferred the more family-friendly "G" & "PG" rated versions of pop music that comes packaged with a good beat📻. 🎼Appreciate amazing lyrics that more cleverly allude to more adult themes. 🚨 Sure, we all enjoy a spot of wildness &/or utter rebelliousness. Just don't personally wanna 🎊celebrate🎊 in having a potty mouth, revel in any seriously questionable experiences or substances, or even rock out to extremely sexually explicit content. 🦋 Thankful when performers are forced to show some restraint on mainstream TV & radio (or face getting bleeped out). ✌😊🤙
@@nicoleshh yes there were a couple of groups that cussed in their songs but there were even more who did not. To say there was a TON is an exaggeration
@@tamekawilliams9213 the first 2 years after they started putting parental advisory labels on records, which was started around the time of this song’s release, 255 albums were hit with these labels for explicit lyrics and content. I’d say that’s a pretty good amount. But ok.

Seminole51 my son & I saw Vanilla Ice at the Casino just last year. Great show.
Back in the day nothing! I can't have been the only one able to do the whole song like it was yesterday!
"When someone says 'stop', I never know if it's in the name of love, hammer time, or if I'm supposed to collaborate and listen." 🤣
Ha when the kids say stop to each other I switch those up! Love it! Sometimes I swap in the spice girls Stop to mix it up!!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂✊😂
🤣🤣🤣‼️‼️
Lol. Right
"I thought he was black."
_Ice just shed a tear hearing that!_
I laughed out Loud to this....I bet he did.
I thought the same thing ! Best compliment ever :-D

What do you mean might, they were and still are.
Facts👏
@TinyTinTeeth You sound triggered, you proved my point.
Hammer and Vanilla were known as the best dancers in hiphop as far as MC's during the peak of this era around 1990-1991.
Everytime Vanilla Ice throws his head back, it reminds me of the "In Living Colour" rapper sketch with Jim Carrey LOL
😂😂😂.
hahaha
The first thing I thought lol
Yeah, I can't hear this without singing along "I'm just too white, white baby"
First time I saw that episode, for the first couple seconds I thought it was actually Vanilla Ice until he launched his sneaker into the air.
VANILLA ICE FOR PRESIDENT: He collaborates, he listens, and if you have a problem he’ll solve it 🤣
Rick Astley is better coz he will never give you up
now you know where John Cena got his in ring character from !
Lmao
No millie vanillie or how ever you spell it..... they'll just blame it on the rain
I needed that
Boyyyyy back in '91, we used to rap ice ice baby word for word on the bus coming from football games...🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
And people still will secretly in their cars!!!
Lol. Yessssss!!!
Omg yes, on the busses back from games, and we all said, at one point, “I thought he was black?!”

I was waiting for that!!!!!
Dude is called Vanilla Ice. Because he was as white as vanilla ice cream. 😁
😂😂 u guys are funny
Kevin, I bet a lot of people thought that Eminem was the first white dude to make it big in rap. Unfortunately for Vanilla Ice, his career was short.
Jajaajjajaja
Jim Carrey impersonating him on in living color is hilarious
Alright stop, while i tie up my laces lol
Omg, I loved "In Living Color". The twins should actually react to some of their skits! So damn funny! All my friends would get together every week to watch it!!!
Ahhhhhh THANK YOU!!!!!! All you have to type in is jim carrey v and it comes up
I was thinking the same thing 😂
and probably is responsible for killing ice's career
"I thought he was black." Everyone who heard this song for the first time in 1990
Yup! The Rick Astley of rap.
He thought he was too.
Factz
Yup!!
Really? What'd you think the "Vanilla" meant? I didn't think he was black.

I was just about to say this very thing 🤣 ua-cam.com/video/UWkIY7-FFTY/v-deo.html
Just learned that Vanilla owns Under Pressure now. Bought it for 4mil.
I think they already reacted to that.
I don't know if they realised or not, but they have already checked out Under Pressure about 8 months ago.
They already did, Queen live at Wembley edition if I recall
Ice was before his time, people didn’t know how to take him, he could dance better than most.
He was a better dancer than rapper.
@@noless you're wrong you need to actually listen to his albums, better than most rappers in the last 20 years
He can ride a motorbike better than most!
Thats why he was on tour with MC Hammer because they both had the same style at the same time

You know you’re old when 2 young men haven’t heard Ice Ice baby before and you still rock it on occasion.
No, you know you're old when you have the original album & it's a cassette.
They never heard this??? HAHAHAHA you have got to be kidding me!! 😂😂😂😂
These are children not young men
Especially when the kids say “back in the day!” That is when I felt old!!🤣🤣
Ice was an entertainer no doubt about it.
Okay, this is serious, you NEED to react to “Informer” by Snow. It’s a nineties anthem! Haha
I had the cassette single of that song.
Definitely yes 👍
Oh yes! Inspired 😂😂😂😂👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I wore that song out, lol
No doubt
People want to act like they weren't jamming to this now but EVERYONE did back in the day! Lol
Right! Everyone loved it back in the day.
It’s still a guilty pleasure for me. Any time it comes on my Pandora, I start dancing instead of just cleaning. Lol
This and “Can’t Touch This” were my favorite songs as a kid. Lmao.

I laughed so hard just now. Funny thing though.... When I was a kid, I thought the same thing then eventually see the video on VH1 or MTV. I was like "What!" lmao.
@@MsSuperWoman87 that's hilarious! I was obsessed with him when he came out. Of course I was like 8 or 9 at the time lol
He's a contractor now and has a show were he remodels maga mansions. It's on DIY channel. You can stream it. It's called the Vanille Ice Project. He really does some amazing things to these mansions.
He is actually really good, too. I was pretty impressed with his work.
He does killer renovation work! Vanilla Ice Project !!!
Watched him on a show where he stayed with the Amish and did some renovation with/for them. He was much respectful to them. Hes a really decent guy.
Lascie Thiesing I saw that! He was very gracious to them!
Alex Vanilla Ice is living out his calling because the show is still on television, and he still does an amazing job on these homes!
I love how you both have respect for our oldies. You both are adorable 🥰
It shows their parents listened to a lot of different music and exposed them to it. Just like we did with our son.
I was young and dance maniac when this song hit the World stage. People all over the World went nuts over Vanilla Ice. Epic moment in Music History. Glad to see you both enjoyed this song. Respect from 🇨🇦💕
Y'all need to check out Cypress Hill "Insane in the Membrane"
YES!!
Lol
Rock solid classic.
Cypress Hill - Insane in the Brain
Serious!!
I know Vanilla Ice personally and he still has bars. He wrote this song when he was around 16. A classic
Yeah, you don't know him.
🤣
He may have wrote the lyrics but let's discuss that ripped off beat
ya i know him personally too....🙄
Jennifer Alexander he did rip off the beat but queen/bowie still got paid
If anyone says they didnt love that song when it first came out, they lie.
I can honestly say I am not a fan. Not my stuff at all, on the other hand my eldest daughter loved it!
This song was wack then and now. I swore this guys were sarcastic with liking this.
I don't like this song I prefer the other one
Exactly 💯, black, white, green you liked it. LMAOOOOO
Shit! I ended up buying the album
They need to watch Jim Carey on " In living Color" do his Vanilla Ice, it's pretty hilarious.
That skit is a classic!!
I'm white.
And I'm captitalizin'
On a trend that's currently risin'
Fuck man I watched that live and was LMFAO.
I was young as hell. I was so excited about their show ( in living color )after watching I'm a get you sucka.
"I thought he was black" omg that was to funny😂😂😂
Love it!!!!!
And who didn’t when we heard him on the radio for the first time back in the day? 😂
I’m just now noticing that they literally kept him in the dark in the beginning of the video to surprise everyone.
That's right, VANILLA ice lol not chocolate 😍
omg me too laughing so hard. Like - ummm yeah. I remember having a lot of friends who were very dismissive of this guy, because he was white. So funny. But yet, everybody knew the words.
Anybody that said they didn’t like this joint back in the day is,“lying to you.”
No they are not.
You know everybody wasn't listening to rap back in the day.
@@sereneamani1713 But a lot of them were
@@charlesjonessr3684 people are bias, thats why they are little bitches who hate on something that they don't truly hate, thats one of the things thats wrong with people
Lying with a straight face. If they grew up in the 90s they love vanilla ice cause he was in the teenage mutant ninja turtles 2 movie
If you guys are checking out 90s classics, please react to House of Pain “Jump Around” 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 The anthem of my youth!!!
👍🏽
Yesssss
A lot of good other HoP choices too.
Yaaaass!
Yaaaaaaas!
There's a reason this was, for its time, the biggest song ever. We'd never heard anything like it before. Vanilla Ice is a huge reason hip-hop is as popular as it is today
They are still playing this in 2020... that says something. VI didn’t deserve the crap he got.
He dont care.. He still gets a check every month in his mailbox.
Itll always be a classic
No. Some of it was warranted but the sheer hate he got. It was jealousy. He can't help it that he was a good looking white dude and therefore more "marketable". It wasn't right that he got all that attention over better more talented black artists but that's not his fault. Blame the "powers that be" in the music industry for that.
@smakfu Yeah. It's everyone's guilty pleasure which is so high school. Hating something just because you're told to. Glad the twins aren't jumping on that bandwagon.
I think Ice Ice Baby is the most played song of all time. I remember reading he still gets revenue from it. His music is bigger outside the US.
Vanilla Ice had catchy beats, that's what made him! Cool thing about him is that he is an awesome businessman. He took the money that he made during his rap career and became a contractor. He's now making millions renovating million dollar homes!
He made it work out and I respect him.
He was a powerboat driver for a while.
Too bad he ripped it off from Queen (Under Pressure).
He even fix up Amish homes in Pennsylvania and Ohio region
He had 1Hit song. And the baseline was stolen directly from Queen and David bowie in their collaboration Under Pressure.
Oddly enough, vanilla ice went on to have a successful house flipping career. He had a tv show and everything!
Ha! Like when he squatted in his own house to create reality tv drama?
Except that never happened
He is smart I give him that
Johnny Emerson LOL ok. I guess the one hit wonder ownss a legendary queen song too. He’s absolutely disgusting. Try googling , you chilrdren.
You guys were so cute when you realized Vanilla Ice was white. It's in his name! I waited for your reaction and was delighted!
Have a listen to Snow and his song, “Informer.”
YES I was going to say the same thing
Yup!
I had the same thought! 😆😆😆
Had the same thought.
Heh I was just about to comment this and then thought, well shit I should check the comments first and here we are haha
Don't know if you have heard it yet..... But MC Hammer, "u can't touch this" If you like the dancing in this one you will love Hammers
Dude are you serious? What planet are you on?
Natural next choice. But MC Hammer's dancing is impressive in Turn This Mutha Out. Check it out!
The Message by Grandmaster Flash. Paul Revere by Beastie Boys. Rapper’s Delight by Sugerhill Gang
Yessss!!!
Yeah rappers delight🤣👏
Yeah Paul Revere for sure.
Yes! Beastie Boys "Paul Revere"!
Yesssss! I have begged so many reaction channels to do both of these! ESPECIALLY Rappers Delight!! Know every word to it- has the album as a kid- listened to it constantly! And Paul Revere! 🎤Just he and his horsie and quart of beer.. 🎤🤣😉
I love these guys passion and excitement for music, it is uplifting and infectious !
If you liked that watch Snow- 1993 song-“informer”... White boy singing reggae!!! The song is 🔥!!!
Sorry, but most of Snows lyrics from "informer" made no sense at all, maybe I'm missing something. the music was hot though.
Haha, I suggested the same song. I actually like his Creative Child more, though.
Snow ... great song ... Toronto boy with great patwa, yeah mahn, bless up!
Yes!
Came here to suggest this also
I think you would also be impressed by the song “INFORMER” by SNOW.
That’s Still my all time favorite lol
I thought the same. They are bookends to each other. LOL
And ini Kamoze
ushakur I was Surprised that my husband, who is from the West Coast, had never heard of Ini Kamoze! We are only two years apart in age. I’m guessing not every song is played in every market? But Hotstepper was so popular!
Yes !!!
Hey guys you should check out “Jump” by Kriss Kross, “Bust A Move” by Young MC, and “Now That We Found Love” by Heavy D. I think you’ll like them.
definitely jump was huge
YES!
Man, after nearly 30 years I still pull out Heavy D on the regular. Now that we found love stands up from beginning to end!
Yo, that's wiggity wack!
All of those are bangers! 😁
I was stationed in South Korea when this first hit. The clubs were PACKED when this came on. Ice was IT!!! 👏😂
Ok, now Janet Jackson for women's wednesday: “Rhythm Nation”
Yes! Been hoping they would react to this
Yes! Agreed.
Absolute tune that.
Any Janet really
IDK if they've never heard/seen any Jackson family members' music. These two are born and raised in Gary, Indiana 😁
Yes, Vanilla Ice did his thing back then. Even if some people don't want to admit it.
Stealing bass line from queen and trying to deny it,I good lol. Much did that cost him
@@wullieman That's true. He had to learn the hard way. But he was still very talented.
I love these guys. I love that as young African Americans their minds, hearts, and ears seem open to all types of music. That's just enough to make this 49 year old Caucasian cry!!! Love you boys.
I loved when they watched reba mcentire
Im 49 too. Im thinking of other songs I'd like them to do. What do you think about Cool It Now? I think that would be a good one.
Does my heart good to see you guys vibing on this track. You guys not knowing the controversy surrounding it before hearing it proves it stands up as a hip hop classic, as most people tried to pretend it didn't.
30 years old and this has better flow than any mumble rapper
Cool as ice has even better lyrics AND delivery IMHO
This song was so big, even people who didn't like rap knew every word to it!
For real! A friend of mine can do the whole thing word for word, and he's a Korean American.
Not me. The song was huge but I was 8 in 1990 & I listened to a radio station that didn't play top 40 (in the car my mom played oldies & my dad played classical). I'd never seen this video before today! My family didn't have cable (long story) and once the internet let us look for videos I never thought to look for this song.
That's true it was hit at the time and listening to it now, it still got my foot tapping to the beat
I'm 47 and when they play this in the club everyone loves it.
Facts!
Lmfao😂😂😂😂😂
I remember it well mike 😊 I’m 44 now. Amazing song back in the day
I was probably the 1% that looked at the rest of y'all and started cracking up,,,,,,,,,,,
Hell yes
No one had ever heard a song like this before. It brought rap back to life.
He got ridiculed for lying about his background, everybody liked this song back in the day whether they admit it or not.
noone admit they use to bang this
Loved it
I hated that song. Especially because dumbass lied about the sample he used. As if he could write the music to "Under Pressure."
The MAIN reason people liked it was because of the hook. And the hook was "Under Pressure"
@@Triple_O.G.Bodybuiilding Which is why I said whether they admit it or not.
Half of them were studio gangstas and we all fell for it.
True classic....and everyone living then knows how big this song was and still is ...and everyone knows the lyrics
Cruisin' in my five point oh, with the rag top down so my hair can blow....
“Vanilla Ice”
I thought he was black......
*I’m dead
As if they have never heard this
I jumped out my chair 😂🤣🤣🤣
Not only is he white he is also Canadian 🇨🇦 hehehe
A while back he also had a show on HGTV where he renovated homes.
He's good with words and hammers.
@@sarahhains3643 He was born in Dallas, Texas and grew up there and Miami, Florida.
I did too in the 90s...we just had radio 🤣🤷🏻♀️
This shit was tight. The music, the lyrics, the beat, the moves. All of it.
Was there in the clubs when it came out. Very little got people moving the way this song did.
So he was not ACTUALLY from the streets as he implied. He still knocked this one out of the park.
He sampled without credit and it cost him but the song is his.
Sooooo my 62 year old mama wants you all to react to “the humpty dance” by Digital Underground... fyi Tupac was in this group before he was known...
Omgoodnes hell yes!
Humpty was the bomb back in the day!!!
Tupac was just the backup dancer hype man haha then he started rapping
@PRO HEN lol.
Good choice!
We LOVED VANILLA ICE in the 90’s. We all knew that song and did the dances.
Vanilla Ice was a massive hit in the 90"s along with MC Hammer
MC Hammer was another idiot without talent. He wore those totally ridiculous pants. He looked so stupid!
@@hooleyqueen do you just hate on artists all the time? I've seen you posting negative dogshit everywhere on the channel
@@hooleyqueen You are the epitome of "hater". What is wrong with you?
And on Nov. 3, 1990, rap cemented its finally unignorable mainstream influence with its first-ever No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100: Vanilla Ice's “Ice Ice Baby.”
We need “Snow, Informer.” Gotta do it. Thumbs me up, guys and gals. 👌👌👌
Gregg Walmsley YES OMG 🤘🏻 great song
YES YES YES!!!
Hahah yes! No one knew the lyrics to that one. Hahah
I just suggested the same thing before seeing your comment. *lol* Won't that just be a treat!!!
@@jodiebetts9183 We knew the first word... LOL!
I miss seeing people dancing like this. This was such a big hit back in the day. Loved your video!
I worked at a Black Angus back when this was popular. I was by the bar. Heard it so oftne!
"They had nice dance moves back in the Day". It feels like it was yesterday. Ice Ice Baby!!!
Now we know how it felt for our teachers lol
I can’t...y’all are hysterical
I’ve been sharing these and told my boys about your channel
Good luck with your business
People only stopped listening to him once the story of Shug Knight hanging him over a balcony started to come out...nobody supports a loser. Fast forward 20 years and now who's the loser? One's in jail and the other renovates homes on HGTV 🤷🏾♀️
OK, I didn't hear that. Tell me more. I'm familiar with the 5 Heartbeats' character Big Red doing this. It was supposed to have happened to Jackie Wilson.
@@sereneamani1713 Yep Robert Van Winkle “ Vanilla Ice” real name told the story himself . Suge Knight didn’t want to pay him and forced him to sign over the rights to all of his music
Its shug.. what they expect. Ice still known. This song been sampled commercials tv shows other songs.
I never heard about that. I did know that Queen threw a fit because Vanilla Ice sampled "Under Pressure". That generated a lot of negative press back in the day (at least, as I recall it).
Yup, EXACTLY!!
Y’all got a grandma over here trying to do the running man
😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Someone somewhere once said "He was too white for the black crowd and too black for the white crowd" 🤷🏾♂️ Idk bout all that, but the dude could and still can rap good. Dope reaction y'all 💯💯
He did good on "Dancing With The Stars" too!
You Are So Right!! He Did His Thing & Did So Very Well ! It Was That Bullshit Mindset Of He’s Too Black He’s Too White That Stopped Him From Going To The Next Level💔 Could You Imagine Someone Saying That To Eminem!! NOPE?? Me Either!!
He was the first white guy who went 100% into rap and I think that's why he caught flak.
This boy has a nice flow and his vocabulary and vernacular are colorful and on point .
Kris Kross-Jump
Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff-Summertime
I don't think these guys will be able,to handle Kriss Kross' backwards clothes 😂 but solid request
Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff's Nightmare on My Street for Halloween, too!!
Summertime is still the shit to this day!
I still love Summertime!
Parents just don’t understand.
O-m-g so many people make fun of him but anytime this song comes on everyone starts singing and dancing.. good times, good memories👌💃
And in person..... he is a pretty man lol.... I met him at an Aerosmith show in West Palm Beach. Very handsome.....sparkly eyes.....
They're called haters
This song was a “one hit wonder”. That’s why people haten on vanilla.
@@katierojas8066 all u need is one hit to never work again..
So true
If you’re gonna do this one, you gotta do MC Hammer next...Can’t Touch This
Never enough of the Hammer!! Such great music!! 🥰
YES can’t touch this!!!! It will blow their minds🤯
To legit to quit.
No God NO
Yessss! It will be funny!
Very, very good song!
It makes you wanna move, and the lyrics… relevant even to this day, especially when you measure it to what they are saying today!!! You go boy!!!
You have to watch Walk This Way with Aerosmith and RUN DMC
Yes!
They reacted/watched Walk This Way with Aerosmith and Run DMC a few months ago.
@@DiegoRamirez-zc7fs its not coming up in a search. got a link?
yesSSS
@@Fyurae hi there-I can no longer find it! Maybe Run DMC took it down? Same thing happened with Whitney Houston and "I Have Nothing." It was up for a couple of days and then taken down. I know Tim (on the left) had some issues with the channel almost being taken down a few months ago. Sorry man!
I clicked so fast for this one. 🤣❤️
saaaaame 😂😂😂
I might have danced along - badly.
Same, but proooobably not for the same reason, lol
Me too. Haha! 😊
Me too!
I was laughing my ass off in the beginning, thinkin “these dudes gonna be so surprised when this song kinda bangs”
That's the thing that kind of gets lost in the history of Hip Hop... there were so many people responsible for bringing it to the mainstream and perpetuating the sound...paving the way for others. That 85-95 span is pure gold... Run DMC, Beastie Boys, NWA, Public Enemy, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, Cypress Hill... Tribe... even Rage... and I know I'm missing a ton of others.... But everybody was doing their thing.
People hate so hard, but to be real, this had a great beat and a few pretty sweet lyrics. “Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know. Turn off the lights, and I glow.” And “Stop, Collaborate and Listen” is still pretty sweet. Respect.
I actually use "Stop! Collaborate, and listen" as my attention getter for my 8th graders. I say "Stop!" And they repeat the rest, they know it's time to work.
@@shaydia damn, respect
@@erwinorellano34 you have to make learning fun and goofy at times. If it's too serious, your students will turn off.
@@shaydia I agree...I mean, I collaborate and listen!
It was due to attacks from other rappers and record labels.
Also if you notice back in the day there weren’t a lot of cuss words in their videos if any. And yet somehow they made it work
Lol. Rap songs from that era had a TON of curse words (see NWA for one example). They just couldn’t put them in videos because MTV was the only platform for music videos then. If there had been a platform like UA-cam back in the day there would be no difference between then and now.
📺 Have always preferred the more family-friendly "G" & "PG" rated versions of pop music that comes packaged with a good beat📻. 🎼Appreciate amazing lyrics that more cleverly allude to more adult themes.
🚨 Sure, we all enjoy a spot of wildness &/or utter rebelliousness. Just don't personally wanna 🎊celebrate🎊 in having a potty mouth, revel in any seriously questionable experiences or substances, or even rock out to extremely sexually explicit content.
🦋 Thankful when performers are forced to show some restraint on mainstream TV & radio (or face getting bleeped out). ✌😊🤙
@@nicoleshh yes there were a couple of groups that cussed in their songs but there were even more who did not. To say there was a TON is an exaggeration
@@tamekawilliams9213 the first 2 years after they started putting parental advisory labels on records, which was started around the time of this song’s release, 255 albums were hit with these labels for explicit lyrics and content. I’d say that’s a pretty good amount. But ok.
Jim Carrey spoofed Vanilla Ice on "In Living Color" it was hilarious!😂
I hope they find it. That show was brilliant.
Yesss🤣

Thanks for the find!
I hope the Twins see it!
This song was not just HUGE in the States but WORLDWIDE.. It was "HUGE" 👏👏👏
