First Time Hearing Vanilla Ice - "Ice Ice Baby" 

I am 41 years old and can't remember what happened last week but when this song comes on I can spit every word just like when I was a teen 🤣🤣 embarrasses the hell outta my kid, this one and Baby Got Back

No matter what anyone tells you this song was a HIT all over America. They played this in every club from coast to coast.

He wrote this song when he was 16 and they filmed the video with hand held cameras (no video phones back then). This GREAT song has stood the test of time, with millions of copies sold worldwide. 😎👍

This song was not just HUGE IN AMERICA but WORDWIDE. It was ‘HUGE’ 🙌

I’m 45. This song was big back in 1990. It was on the radio every second ❤

He may be a one hit Wonder but his album went platinum and this rap song is the first ever rap song to go #1 on Bill Board charts. So arguably the best rap one hit Wonder ever!

You guys are the best! I’m a 72 year old white guy who just spent the last hour of my life watching and listening to you and smiling the whole time. I go back a long way and watching your reactions to the music of my life is priceless. Well done, gentlemen!

Fun fact: he wrote this song at 16 years old! This is also the #1 most sold hip hop song of ALL TIME. Over a half BILLION SOLD world wide. This is over 30 years old too.

He got into so much trouble with that riff. There was a huge lawsuit because he ripped the hook off from Queen. That being said, I know Rob personally and some of my family are very close personal friends with him. He is an amazing human being. Genuinely nice guy with a heart of gold. This song has stood the test of time and still hits today. Love your reactions boys.

Yep, you know it's a banger when it holds up pretty well 32 years later.

Just saw Vanilla in concert and it was insane…

Everyone hates on Vanilla Ice, but this track has passed the test of time. 32 years...

Gotta give credit to John Deacon from Queen whose song “Under Pressure” was sampled for this. That beat really makes the song tbh

Guys, his song took RAP to the world. He was friends with all the big guys, look into his story you will be amazed. That one song still selling millions of copies each year. He also did the Ninja Turtles song. He buys run down homes and sells them for millions. A great story of making your dreams come true! And he still performs for his fans all over the world.

When this song hit the airwaves, it changed everything! Vanilla Ice stayed on the charts for a really long time and Ice Ice Baby was played almost on loop!😆

This song always makes a dance floor go crazy. Still a classic.

There is no way these dudes have never heard of Vanilla Ice. Ice Ice Baby is the #1 highest selling single rap song in history.

I'm 43 and not ashamed to admit that Vanilla Ice was my first Caucasian Persuasion in 6th grade 🥰. Thanks guys for highlighting this iconic and catchy song !!!

He wasn’t a one hit wonder, he just had one HUGE hit and smaller popular songs.

I agree. 80s and 90s way better times than now. Kids played all day long outside in neighborhoods and socialized. Sad to see neighborhoods so empty and nobody cares to know each other. The 80s were the best!

It's nice to see people react to the music and enjoy it, without all the stigma around Vanilla Ice when he came out. 🔥

No matter what you say, when this came out....EVERYONE loved it...wasn't til later we looked at it differently, but EVERYONE was learning these lyrics

1990 was the year I graduated & when we were at the beach, this was all you heard. People today have no idea how huge this song was. You can't hear it without bobbing your head.

It's beautiful to be a 58 year old woman smiling my face off and bobbing my head to the beat... as these young men do the Exact. Same. Thing. Feeling love on a Sunday Morning. ❤ Word to your mother.😊

I love Vanilla Ice. I was born in 83 so I grew up with his music and he was HUGE in the 90s. He was in the TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze movie.

That song was THE JAM when it came out. ❤

History needs to be re-written for Vanilla Ice. If you like hip hop, rap etc you got to give this guy a nod because this influential song helped the genre heat up and bubble.

When I was in the Army in Germany, Armed Forces Radio played this song at least 3 times a day. After about a month, everyone in the motor pool knew the song by heart. An occasional dance would break out.

Such a dope ass jam.... my first concert (at age 11) in '91 was MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and En Vogue @ Deer Creek in Noblesville, IN. Poured down rain nearly the whole time and we had lawn seats. Drenched the whole time but was one of the best shows I have ever seen still to this day.

I was 19 when this song came out and spent every weekend at the clubs. When that bassline dropped at the beginning, it didn't matter the color of your skin EVERYONE was together on the dancefloor gettin' hyped. It was an amazing time. I consider myself fortunate to have experienced it first hand.

Ice is very successful home fixer upper… he had his own Tv show on home renovations…. The guy is pro jet ski competitor too. Ice is doing really well

It makes me both sad and happy to see you react to this song. It was such a punchline, but at the same time catchy. Obviously, you need to listen to Queen/Bowie's "Under Pressure."

I was 16 years old when this song came out and it was my favorite song in the world!!! Everybody I knew loved that song it was number one on the charts for a long time. Thank you all for doing this video so that I could take a stroll down memory lane. 👍

Knock on him all you want, but vanilla ice still has his money unlike a lot of artists. He was very smart with investments and royalties.

Vanilla Ice's album was the largest selling album of Hip Hop of all time to this day it has not been beat

Just remember, “The Chronic” and “Doggystyle” never see the light of day without Vanilla Ice. “Ice Ice Baby” funded Death Row. There is an interview out there with Vanilla Ice who acknowledges this in the most humbling of ways.

Vanilla Ice had several 'Top 100' songs...not exactly a 'one hit wonder' - but 'Ice Ice Baby' is definitely what he's most known for. By the way...awesome video guys! 😊

FYI, Vanilla Ice had like 3 or 4 hits. He wasn't a one hit wonder. Ice Ice Baby was just his biggest hit that most people associate to him.

Ohhhh the good ole days! Ice ice baby 🧊 Ran across this on my feed & it brought me way back! Grew up listening to this along with Tupac the great, Biggie, NWA & Ice Cube. This was a great time in the world. It was safer, music was on fire & all ppl got along United together. There was respect. I still crank it up for Ice Cube, “Today was a good day” 🎶

I am not a fan of these sort of videos - first time, reaction, etc- but looking at you guys enjoy the music and the video was pure gold. No fake tears, no stopping every 10 seconds, jus four guys enjoying the music of a previous generation. I am pressing the thumb up ten times so you guys get extra credit!

FYI- this song was the first rap song on the top 100 to hit #1 spot...so that should speak for itself.

It's cool to see these young cats reacting favorably to these classics. 👍

if you were alive in the early '90s, the rap music from Vanilla Ice or MC Hammer was the most iconic rap dance during that time. They were even better than Tupac or Biggie.

I can rap every word. One of my all time faves. I always break dance to this one!

Vanilla ice is low-key underrated, he was a pretty good artist, makes me wonder how good he would be today if he continued

This came out when I was in 6th grade, and there was a brief period of time when I was sure this was the best song of all time lmfao. I got yelled at by the local DJ for calling the radio station in fake voices requesting it over and over so I could dub it onto a cassette. You young’uns just don’t know the radio dub struggle!

OMG, how can this be your first time hearing this!!!??? Such a classic. Thanks for sharing.

Vanilla ice is a very talented contractor in Florida. He builds homes.

Oh my word. 1990. I was in 6th grade…and this was a huge hit. And yes, I still know all the words. 😂😂

Every kid in 7th grade knew all the words to that first verse. now they all in their mid 40s, and they still know it by heart.

I still love hearing this song. He is a one hit wonder because he sampled Queen/David Bowie's song "Under Pressure" and claimed he didn't. He got sued and lost. I think that took some of the fire out of him. Still a great song, glad you guys enjoyed it!

Never gets old. Hip hop royalty.

I was in desert storm, sitting in my tent when I first heard this song. It made me miss home even more! Love your channel, very cool vibe!

"To the extreme / I rock the mic like a vandal / Light up the stage / and wax a chump like a candle" 🎤 I still know those fierce lyrics more than 30 years after I first heard them, and when I think about them, I smile. 😁

I am Nigerian and we rocked it in high school in the 90s.

any song I can still remember 98% of the lyrics to was a BANGER. Classic

Glad to know you did this! 32 year old rap! Ya'll rock. Thanks for keeping great music alive!

These poor kids don’t have what we had. I’m glad they loved it. I was about to be pissed if they didn’t. 😂

34 yrs+ and this song still hits the clubs and makes the body move! Vanilla Ice has more than this hit. Love this song cuz I'm a 90s kid!

Definitely now check out Jim Carrey's rendition on In Living Color. Hilarious 😆

Vanilla is technically considered a one hit wonder, but like all one hit winders when he was hot there were 2 or 3 other tracks that were almost as big. In Vanilla case they were "I love you" "hooked" and later "Ninja Rap" from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II which was probably the biggest movie in the world at the time. Most people don't realize how he kept going and still makes music to this day. My Vanilla playlist is 42 songs long from "Ice Ice Baby" to "All the Way In" released just last year with Forgatio Blow and Kodak Black. V.I.P. forever. Word to tlur mutha!

Enjoy watching you guys. Feels like back in the day cutting up with my friends. Does not matter what people think of Ice, put this track on and everyone is hitting the floor.

I'm 45 now and I still love this song and can rap it. We had the best songs in the 90s, I Was a teenager and young adult in the best era

I was 13 when this came out and still have the lyrics memorized to this day....this song is legendary!

I was 15 when this song dropped. Everyone was bumping this done in 1989. There were a lot more 5.0 Mustangs on the road too. They were slick, the convertible ones. I remember having a party-ball of Budweiser in the trunk of my older Cousins all white 5.0. Good times.

90% of the artists in history will never have a song so iconic for decades like this one so put some respect on it. And the same goes for Jump by house of pain and informer by snow.

Glad you guys liked this. I was about 20 yrs old when it came out and blew up the radios. Couldn't go 30 min without hearing on one of the radio stations.

This song an all time classic

Saw someone else mention it so I’m gonna say it too cuz it needs to be done: Now you HAVE to watch Jim Carrey doing “White White Baby” on In Living Color. It’s freaking amazing!!!!! 🤣😂😂🤣

Classic song. Brings back great memories 😊

Still SLAPS! Best selling rap single of all time! 500 Million +

I was in 9th grade in 1990. This song was CRAZY then. My high school band even played it and did a dance routine to it. I still know bar for bar. One of the most notable, popular, widely played songs/videos in Hip Hop history, and anyone saying different doesn't know the game.

I'm Class of 1991, but it was Class of 1992 who had these dance moves down pack! 😁 We were Juniors when this dropped! We were black students who loved this!

These 4 men are so generous!! What utter gentlemen!! Cute too!!

In my teens this song was huge in Germany ❤ And today still fun to watch and a joy at every party. Ice ice babyyyyy 😂😂😂

I love it. Watch those young Brothers' heads when the beat drops at 1:31. It's such a simple rhythm but you just can't keep your head from bouncing!

This song was the jam back in the day. Wish I could go back!

Senior year of HS, what a jam this was back in the day (Fall of ‘90). So Thriller, Footloose, Can’t Touch This & this track all had a unique choreographed dance with that respective riff. “To the extreme, I rock a mic like a vandal”. 🍻🙏🏼🍻

I'm 71 years old as of Monday and I can still sing all the words and dance the dance, the test of a real hit if how long it last and this one lasts! Thanks for doing this!

Vanilla was unfairly attacked, just because he was white; yet the same critics and people also destroyed Hammer. It was industry protectionism and discrimination at its worst. But Vanilla went on doing his thing without regret. He eventually went on with his life and remained a very respectable citizen, and built an entirely different career. One of my favorites from that amazing era of music.

I'll be 50 at the end of the month. But I can tell you what I was doing when this was released, 10th grade, fighting over the last Ice album on the shelf. Couldn't get enough. Still have every word memorized. Him and Hammer were the shit!!!

I was in high school when this song came out. There was nothing else like it at the time. I will be 50 next month. Brings back memories. 😊

Awesome song. One of my absolute favorites. He was 16 when he wrote it.

I remember when this dropped.. This song was not just a hit, it was a phenomenon back then.. They don't have hits like this anymore.. Ice Ice Baby!

I love that era of rap and hip hop... early 80s to mid 00s. KRS One, Public Enemy, Das EFX, Gang Starr, LL Cool J, Biggie, 2Pac, Mobb Deep, WuTang, Eazy E, Fugees, Snoop and more. Basically two generations in a row of amazing music. I was like 3 years old to 28 during that great time of music. That era is like 90% of all the rap and hip hop I listen to still to this day I'm 45 now.

My 41 year old self listening to this in the car while driving, rappin all the lyrics and one arm dancing… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now that you've checked this out, you should check out Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie. Vanilla Ice tried to deny stealing the beat but lost a law suit and had to pay and give cowriting credits to Queen and David Bowie.

this was one of the biggest songs of all time, then it became popular to hate on it, and now its finally ok to like it again lol.

I’m 55 and I am so proud of you guys. I do nothing but smile watching ya’ll. I grew up on all the music you listen to. How wise to open your horizon . I pray good things for your life and make us proud and Rock Your Life! Do good things.

One year before this dropped I saw him on the dance floor in a Dallas nightclub...like a movie, the dance floor parted and he went solo....crowd was in awe....nobody knew who this guy was at the time....NEVER forget it....the club was called Iguana Mirage on Greenville Ave.

This is still Fire in 2023. Big Facts! I've rewatched this video about 20 times and as someone born in 80' I listened to this song atleast 300 times in my Life I never heard the lyric " I grabbed my 9' and all I heard was shells". which might be the Most Gangster Azz Lyric of All time and makes me respect this song even more. Well Done Boys. 😊😁😬😎👍🏻🇺🇸

VANILLA'S FLOW IS JUST FIRE! AS IS THE TRACK!

Have to follow this up with Jim Carey’s version on In Living Color!

In the first few bars and I’m on the dance floor. I love this Song.💕🐺

He’s pretty good! Saw him live back in 2017. He had some other underrated hits

It is time we give Robert his flowers. No, he wasn’t the greats that came around his time and after but he encapsulated a moment in the early 90’s that can’t be compared to the GOATs of hip hop. It got corny once the greats took over the airways (due to finally being able to be played in some places) but decades later we can appreciate the importance of this moment and the absolute ear worm he created for us to bop to along with Baby Got Back. 3 decades later and I still know every single word to ice ice baby even if I hadn’t heard it in years. That has to count for something.

Watching this now, it feels like an SNL skit 😂 That being said, I’m 41, have heard this a million times, and this ish honestly holds up 😂

Love Vanilla ice! Thanks guys 😊

This is one of my favorites. Im glad you guys enjoyed! Greetings from Mexico City and Texas!

His love of all people is how all of us were in the 80s and 90s. Man, we were the Teenage Wasteland ❤
