Vanilla Ice and the birth of inauthentic hip hop

but just before him, MC Hammer had become the all-time highest selling rap act strictly because of packaging: how he danced and dressed and overall image, not anything to do with his entirely forgettable rhyme skills.

@noahdjango

it would have been some other honky

That word is always funny.

Anyways… here’s RTJ…

That word is always funny

when I rap along with the songs I listen to, I censor the N word by substituting “honky.” I’ve been self-applying it since college, too.

I just skip the word but this is sooooo much better. Bravo!

Vanilla Ice was just not a very good rapper

he never should have been a solo act

“pretty face in somebody else’s dance troupe” was where he belonged

[ChuckV]

I can’t recall, did he actually dance? I thought they hired guys to dance around or behind him.

He was right there with them

I don’t know if it’s considered good or bad in the dance world when we can see them sweat but he could have done workout videos
