Good old Vanilla ice
It’s always nice to check back and see what former one-hit wonders are doing nowadays. Case in point: Vanilla Ice.
For some reason, this poser will not just go away. I mean, this dude has lied about so much stuff, like being homies with Luther Campbell from 2 Live Crew (Luther said he’d never met him), to the Suge Knight thing (who laughed at that “incident”), to ripping off Queen’s “Under Pressure” and saying his hook was completely different. Whatever.
It’s fun to notice people’s speech mannerisms and listen to the words they use alot. Vanilla Ice’s word seems to be “underground”. His album is called Platinum Underground, which seems to be an oxymoron to me. He also talks about listening to a lot of “undergound” music, like Funkadelic, Rick James, and Parliament.
To paraphrase Indigo Montoya from The Princess Bride, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means”.
Anyway, here’s the link:
