Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby (1990)




Yo, VIP, let's kick it!  It's hard to believe its been 30 years since Robert Van Winkle hip hopped onto the scene with his hit single Ice Ice Baby.  The song features a very familiar baseline and Ice embarrassed himself claiming otherwise.  Queen and David Bowie were eventually compensated.  Ice Ice Baby was the first hip hop single to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The video was shot in Ice's hometown of Dallas.  He is seen dancing around with some valet guys and cruising the strip looking for fun.  Ice's music career cooled quickly and his foray into films received a chilly reception, much like his then-girlfriend Madonna.  He was later parodied on In Living Color before fading into obscurity.  Word to your mutha.
