"See, their song goes 'ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding', and mine goes 'ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding/DING-ding-ding-ding da-da ding-ding'. It's totally different."

— Vanilla Ice, comparing Queen's "Under Pressure" to his song "Ice Ice Baby"

[–] SkyezOpen 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wanna see a double blind study on what percentage of people can accurately distinguish between ice ice baby and under pressure in the first few seconds.

Are they working alone, or do you envision groups who can stop, collaborate, and listen?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They only stop when it is time for the hammer. ✋️🔨⏰️.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Can’t touch this, because I’m too legit to quit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I salute you on this one.

[–] themeatbridge 68 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I tried to get into his music, but then he told me to stop and I did.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

"Alright now stop, colla-"

"Okay!"

He didn't leave, he just went on to invent metal.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everyone knows Nickelback was the true creator of metal music.

Pretty sure Mmm Bop is credited with inventing scat music, which eventually caught on in jazz a bit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Hmm... you might be onto something!

Guys like Bob Vila walk the path Ice paved.

[–] Vandals_handle 4 points 2 months ago

Red Green salted the Iced path, at least he's handy.

Genius fusion of ice to babies

[–] Omgarm 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Using his own completely unique music/melody as well. A true visionary.

[–] jaybone 7 points 2 months ago

Tbf plenty of rap was sampled at that time.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There was a problem and, yo, he solved it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Before he left, he turned out the lights and glowed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I heard he made a line of surfing products, starting with Chump Wax.

[–] niktemadur 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And never seemed to be under pressure to return

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No. No. He wasn't under pressure, he was under pressure. Totally different.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 24 points 2 months ago

Get sued by David Bowie and leaves

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

Stop, collaborate and leave

[–] teamevil 17 points 2 months ago

He's pushing Street Fighter 2 Guyle energy

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

Ah 1990, the year rap was invented, yes

Multiverse Eminem

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I don’t recognize him either, but from the references in the other comments I’m assuming it’s vanilla ice

[–] toynbee 4 points 2 months ago

I've self diagnosed with face blindness, but I tentatively recognized his hair lift.

The references confirmed it.

The inventor of rap apparently

[–] Dkarma 12 points 2 months ago

Invents what???????

[–] ChillPill 7 points 2 months ago

Uncle Vanny was Vanilla Ice this whole time?!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Pressurized Ice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

"Bloodhound Gang and Rob van Winkle: Together on this track."

He genuinely could flow. He just was too caught up in trying to market himself (his rap / metal fusion album was a good example of lyrics trying to package a look).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Probably realized his mistake

[–] Mobiledecay 3 points 2 months ago

The white MC Hammer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Ice is a legend.
