You might read stupid stuff about him (like the article above)that is just attacking and unnecessary, the bottom line is that Rob still plays sold out shows all over the world (VANILLAICE.COM). He has a Holiday Block Party in West Palm Beach every year for Toys For Tots. He also personally drove around to poor neighborhoods and handed out hundreds of toys to needy kids on Christmas Eve this year (and the last few years). Rob may not be selling millions of albums today (he can truly say; "been there done that,") but he still has fans all over the world, but more importantly he still gives back. He really is one of the good guys. Rob is one of the good guys.

And, really, you should hang your head in shame for insulting Chuck D. As far as Vanilla Ice goes, stop being so close-minded. He cares about his art form and makes music that people like.

Between U-God and Vanilla Ice, I'm running out of easy targets in hip hop. Bding7: I had the soundtrack to "Secret of the Ooze" on cassette and played the shit of out "Ninja Rap." I also really like Kriss Kross, so fuck me. Dart: I could've just wrote the same piece like you did on the comment, but me being a white rapper in the wake of Vanilla forces me to overcompensate. AssHat: Durst has smartly faded away into oblivion, though he's just as obnoxious and petulant as Vanilla. As soon as he starts trying to make "credible" music and collaborating with Lou Reed, I'll keep the gun unloaded. AaronM: Who do you got for me? I really don't know who has a bigger douche-tastic resume than Vanilla the past 18 years... Goathair: It looked great on Jim Carrey when he spoofed Vanilla on "In Living Color." DocZeus: You bring up some OUTSTANDING points. My biggest problem though is that Vanilla keeps coming back for more. The same media that destroyed him is the same media that's currently paying for his shitty tattoos, albeit now he's on 8th-rate cable shows rather than the American Music Awards. Commish: I agree--Vanilla keeps thinking he's gonna trick people into taking his seriously with each release. Nevermind that he makes his money now doing "shows" for townies at hole-in-the-wall frat bars and actual frat houses. The Uncle Rico comparison is pretty good--I'd love to throw a porkchop at Vanilla though. Flood:

VI is like a drunk uncle who keeps trying some gimmick/selling point/scam...shit's he's like Uncle Rico. I wasn't the biggest fan of VH1 "White Rapper Show" but the highlights were Serchy and Prince Paul STILL clowning this guy. Oh, and don't forget Alex P Keaton's dad was also the dad in that movie. Has to be a career highlight for him. that is stellar Zilla. VI is like a drunk uncle who keeps trying some gimmick/selling point/scam…shit’s he’s like Uncle Rico.

Vanilla Ice fronting as if he was street isn't any more egregious than any of the other 1,000 other rappers pretending as if they were "Freeway" Ricky Ross. I'm looking at you Rick Ross and Freeway! Vanilla Ice was just a bit more unbelievable. And the out cry of Under Pressure's beat jack and his subseqeunt defense while completely retarded had A LOT more to do with the fact that he had jacked Queen instead of James Brown. Believe that. Vanilla Ice was turned into a living breathing cartoon and a gigantic walking punchline by the media WAY before he completelty devolved into self-destructive complete parody. And don't front as if "Ninja Rap" wasn't the shit. ...I can't believe I just defended Vanilla Ice. I'm gonna go take a shower.
