There are actually far better contenders for the position that Vanilla Ice now occupies: That of the least-regarded (critically, anyway) superstar of the pre-Alternative 90s. MC Hammer comes pirouetting to mind, for one. Wherere his props lately? Busted out from under him. But Oho! Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer are now collected on the dual Back to Back Hits compilation--which is bargain-priced and supersedes To the Extreme. Its by far the better value. "Ice Ice Baby" is not a bad song--its just a Queen song without enough Queen. But then, take a sweep at todays hip-hop arena and tell me the man (Van Winkle will be the name on his death certificate) wasnt prescient. In the end, he may be remembered as the proto-Puff Daddy. --Gavin McNett

Why do so many people hate this guy? He isnt a novelty act. Hes a true rap genius, a visionary. Hes like the Chad Kroger of rap- which is a great compliment, considering Nickleback are one of the best bands of all-time! I wish he wasnt a one-hit wonder, though. Id love to hear more awesome albums by him!

I betch ya a lot of people have this CD but wont admit to it. I was a DJ when this was big, and my boss was too cheap to buy it. Well, to be more precise, the cassette single of Ice Ice Baby was outselling the song, so the record company pulled it so people would buy the album (greed in the record companies existed long before digital downloading and MP3 files). I told him to buy the album, he didnt want to, so I did. The album is pretty much a bore, with Vanilla doing what rappers seem to do, tell us how great he is at rappin. But thats it. At least 2 Live Crew and The Geto Boys made me laugh a bit, and Ice-T has some good political stuff, along with N.W.A., but Robby Van Winkle (his real name) really didnt have much. The only time I liked him is when he beat the crap out of an MTV studio during the burning of the video Ice Ice Baby (scaring the hosts of Jon Stewart, Denis Leary, and a cackling Janeane Garofalo, who looked drunk during the taping. I thought it was hilarious, because it scared the tar out of the hosts, but that they were the ones who egged Vanilla on, and when he acted upon their taunting, they flipped out). The Ice Ice Baby song is slightly catchy, but the riff/beat was stolen from Under Pressure by David Bowie & Queen. Vanilla pretty much dried up after this, occasionally appearing at gigs and reality shows. Lets hope MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice hook up and go on tour.
It is time to remember

...just how great this record was when it came out and how everybody unanimously loved it, even the surviving members of the Beatles. George Harrison went so far as to say that "if there was ever a music group to recapture all the enthusiasm of those early Beatlemania days, then it is Vanilla Ice."
You put this thing on the stereo, and, so long as its not the instantly recognizable "Ice Ice Baby," this album will get the party "thumpin." Too bad so many are blinded by some stupid hate of Vanilla. What caused this anyway?

Thanks to this album, Vanilla Ice is a common household name for a negative force on hip-hop music. Nowadays almost every white rapper (at least the mainstream ones) is compared to this guy, even though theyre possibly more talented than V-Ice.
This album is just a re-release of the majority of the tracks on his 1989 independent release debut album, Hooked. The album also only has one hit that Vanilla Ice is remembered by, and that is "Ice Ice Baby". Its obvious that it lifted the sample from Queen and David Bowies "Under Pressure" without permission, yet its completely denied. If youve heard that track, youll get an idea of what the rest of this album consists of: awful rapping over sub-par beats, some of these beats being obvious samples. "Play That Funky Music" ring a bell? "Dancing Machine"? V-Ice sampled them on this album and dragged the quality down to the black hole of music.
If you want to listen to this album, theres definitely a couple of copies in your closest bargain bin. That way you can listen to the rise of Caucasian hip pop that spawned Mark Wahlbergs short spanned career as Marky Mark. Hilarious at best, downright terrible and stupid at worst.
