"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 4 days ago (1 children)

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 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

Can’t touch this, because I’m too legit to quit.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 days ago

I salute you on this one.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 68 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I tried to get into his music, but then he told me to stop and I did.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 22 points 5 days ago

"Alright now stop, colla-"

"Okay!"

Forget everything you know about slipcovers!

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 62 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Dippy@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)
[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Guys like Bob Vila walk the path Ice paved.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Is there anything this wunderkind can't invent‽

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Everyone knows Nickelback was the true creator of metal music.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)
[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

Hmm... you might be onto something!

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 16 points 4 days ago

Ah 1990, the year rap was invented, yes

[–] krakenfury@lemmy.sdf.org 32 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Genius fusion of ice to babies

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Tbf plenty of rap was sampled at that time.

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There was a problem and, yo, he solved it

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Before he left, he turned out the lights and glowed

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

Get sued by David Bowie and leaves

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

Pressurized Ice

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And never seemed to be under pressure to return

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

Basically every rap pre-Wu Tang was like "well my name is jim and i'm here to say, i don't support anyone who's gay!" Exceptions are EPMD and Eric B and Rakim.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 days 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).

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Invents what???????

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 19 points 5 days ago

Stop, collaborate and leave

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

He's pushing Street Fighter 2 Guyle energy

[–] And009@reddthat.com 32 points 5 days ago

Multiverse Eminem

[–] felsiq@lemmy.zip 19 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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 5 days ago

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

The references confirmed it.

Ice is a legend.

[–] ChillPill@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Uncle Vanny was Vanilla Ice this whole time?!
