"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"

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] booly@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] don@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month 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.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago

"Alright now stop, colla-"

"Okay!"

[-] banazir@lemmy.ml 63 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Everyone knows Nickelback was the true creator of metal music.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure Mmm Bop is credited with inventing scat music, which eventually caught on in jazz a bit.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Hmm... you might be onto something!

Guys like Bob Vila walk the path Ice paved.

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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

Genius fusion of ice to babies

[-] Omgarm@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

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

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Tbf plenty of rap was sampled at that time.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago

There was a problem and, yo, he solved it

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Before he left, he turned out the lights and glowed

And never seemed to be under pressure to return

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Get sued by David Bowie and leaves

[-] DampSquid@feddit.uk 19 points 1 month ago

Stop, collaborate and leave

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago

Ah 1990, the year rap was invented, yes

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Multiverse Eminem

[-] felsiq@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 month ago

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

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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

The references confirmed it.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

it's magneto

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

The actually useful answer. Thanks

chocolate rain

[-] lefixxx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The inventor of rap apparently

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Invents what???????

[-] ChillPill@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Uncle Vanny was Vanilla Ice this whole time?!

[-] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Pressurized Ice

[-] Mobiledecay@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The white MC Hammer.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month 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).

[-] goddard@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Ice is a legend.

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Probably realized his mistake
