"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"

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.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months 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.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

"Alright now stop, colla-"

"Okay!"

[-] [email protected] 63 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

Hmm... you might be onto something!

Guys like Bob Vila walk the path Ice paved.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

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

Genius fusion of ice to babies

[-] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Tbf plenty of rap was sampled at that time.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago

There was a problem and, yo, he solved it

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Before he left, he turned out the lights and glowed

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

And never seemed to be under pressure to return

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

Get sued by David Bowie and leaves

[-] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

Stop, collaborate and leave

[-] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

He's pushing Street Fighter 2 Guyle energy

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Multiverse Eminem

[-] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

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

The references confirmed it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

it's magneto

Pressurized Ice

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Probably realized his mistake

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Ice is a legend.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

The white MC Hammer.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 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).
