"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@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year 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.

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

"Alright now stop, colla-"

"Okay!"

Forget everything you know about slipcovers!

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 63 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone knows Nickelback was the true creator of metal music.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Hmm... you might be onto something!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guys like Bob Vila walk the path Ice paved.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

Genius fusion of ice to babies

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Tbf plenty of rap was sampled at that time.

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was a problem and, yo, he solved it

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Before he left, he turned out the lights and glowed

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And never seemed to be under pressure to return

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Get sued by David Bowie and leaves

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 19 points 1 year ago

Stop, collaborate and leave

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Too cold and plain

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Multiverse Eminem

[–] felsiq@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

The references confirmed it.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

it's magneto

The inventor of rap apparently

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Invents what???????

[–] ChillPill@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Uncle Vanny was Vanilla Ice this whole time?!

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Pressurized Ice

Basically every rap pre-Wu Tang was like "well my name is jim and i'm here to say, i don't support anyone who's gay!" Exceptions are EPMD and Eric B and Rakim.

[–] Mobiledecay@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The white MC Hammer.

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Probably realized his mistake

[–] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[–] goddard@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Ice is a legend.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year 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).
