Vanilla Ice At The Freestyle and Oldschool Extravaganza Concert

Vanilla Ice At The Freestyle and Oldschool Extravaganza Concert — Vanilla Ice produced one of the most viral songs in music: “Ice Ice Baby.” The lines “All right stop / Collaborate and listen / Ice is back with my brand new invention” will forever be ingrained in most millennials’ minds after Ice dropped the track in 1989, and more than three decades later, the lyrics are just as catchy!

Ice released his debut album Hooked in 1989 through Ichiban Records, and a reformatted version of that album (called To The Extreme) through SBK Records in 1990. “Ice Ice Baby,” which was on that album, made history by becoming the first hip-hop song to top a Billboard chart. Ice had two other Billboard chart-toppers from that same album: a cover of “Play That Funky Music” and “I Love You.” A collab with Naomi Campbell, “Cool As Ice (Everybody Get Loose),” also landed a spot on the “Hot 100” chart.

Vanilla released a total of six studio albums throughout his career, the most recent release being in 2011 with W.T.F. (Wisdom, Tenacity and Focus). While Ice hadn’t experienced the same mainstream success since “Ice Ice Baby,” but still has a loyal fan base.
