Idk about the rap but dude still has dance moves and looks younger than Paul wall.
His record label published a backstory full of exaggerations and outright fabrications to make him seem like he was more down with black folks than he really was. Truthfully he was down enough to begin withOther than being caught up in MC Hammer pre-gabgsta rap wave, what did Vanilla Ice really do to deserve the hate?
What, lie about being from Miami?
So Was he writing his own raps?His record label published a backstory full of exaggerations and outright fabrications to make him seem like he was more down with black folks than he really was. Truthfully he was down enough to begin with
Ice went along with it until he was called out, then he hid behind the label like “they did it”. Dude was a middle class white cat who was exceptional at motocross but loved Hip Hop culture. He had a black co-sign already in Dallas but being the first white solo star was naturally going to be on shaky ground as a possible vulture. It ruined his cred and made folks feel he couldnt trust them.
Most definitely. Dude even wrote Ice Ice Baby. What Suge and co did was just a straight up goon style shake downSo Was he writing his own raps?

He did not write that song. Chocolate did.Most definitely. Dude even wrote Ice Ice Baby.
He was white and he was commercializing Hiphop the same way Hammer did. And the stuff @Toe Jay Simpson said was true. But I remember Erick Sermon did an interview (Juan EP I THINK) where he said Vanilla Ice was their opening act on tour and black folks went crazy over Ice Ice Baby before it blew up.Other than being caught up in MC Hammer pre-gabgsta rap wave, what did Vanilla Ice really do to deserve the hate?

You from Texas? Then yeah, you'd know better than me.Both the album and “Ice Ice Baby” had been out for months before Chocolate starting talking that talk. It was getting heavy burn in Texas because Ice was from there. It didn’t blow until an LA DJ started playing it and it caught on in that market. Then Chocolate said he wrote it and the only evidence he had was a sheet of paper his girlfriend sent the head of Solar records in the mail only when he asked if there was proof. Even in that scenario Suge was doing all the talking.
