White rapper whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, but it should be 'Rip Off Van Winkle' because his only hit was 'Ice Ice Baby' which totally RIPPED OFF the bassline and a piano riff direct from the 1981 hit 'Under Pressure' by Queen and David Bowie. His rip-off song went to #1 in the United States during the autumn of 1990 but practically anybody who knew Bowie or Queen knew this was outright musical plagiarism of the highest degree. Queen and Bowie sued his ass in the biggest musical royalty copywrite dispute in UK history. Vanilla Ice got stung big time. His cred suffered even more when he claimed to have come from the Miami hip-hop scene and it was revealed that he grew up in a suburb of Dallas. His next single was 'Play that Funky Music' (a cover) which went nowhere. He tried to salvage his reputation by a cameo appearance in the film 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2' with a band, doing the 'Ninja Rap' but that didn't stop the snowballing backlash. He soon released a 'live' home video and album in the spring of 1991. That fall he 'starred' in a new movie that tanked, critics said it was shit. It was available on home video just in time for Christmas 2 months later. Since then he largely fell out of the public eye and his Famous Fifteen Minutes ended so fast.
Vanilla Ice was lauded in 1990 as a 'modern James Dean'. Today his fame is a footnote , he's a shooting star, a fraud. The hip-hop community largely disowns him. He basically is a Pat Boone of rap, IOW a milquetoast poser for the suburban whites who think they have a clue about street culture and hip-hop BUT THEY DON'T. Vanilla Ice is a joke.

Get the Hoodlum Ice Trainmug. Is a philosophical branch derived from stoicism, that incorporates Ice Spice's unconscious, involuntary and effortless preaches.
For Spicecists, the word "Ice" symbolizes a healthy detachment from the surroundings, emotional resilience to misfortune, and the acceptance of things one can't control. All of which are virtues preached by stoicism. In Spicisism, such virtues are highlighted through Ice Spice's nonchalant, effortless, and yet effective delivery of words in her songs.
Not only Ice Spice's tone, but the occasional addition of casual words such as "like" after the sentence "Bitch, I am a baddie I get what I want" just enhances the nonchalant. Furthermore, the very content of the lyrics consists of nonchalant "Ice" symbolism; an example being statements about you should not worry, because if they are not right, they must be a munch.
Both "Ice" and "Spice" are elements of nature, and that is a purposeful choice. Like stoics, by making choices in agreement with nature Spicecists can reach prohairesis. Spicecism allows one to always make well-reasoned choices and statements, many of which can be observed in Ice Spice's discography.
Finally, like the Stoics, Spicicists also believe that virtue in everyday life is key and sufficient for achieving eudaimonia, which means reaching immaculate vibes and living the ultimate slay life. Eudaimonia is something that only Ice Spice and a few others have achieved by following Spicecism by the book.
