Vanilla Ice, the first rapper to feature a number-one song on the Billboard charts, sat down for an interview with Vlad, where they discussed his influence on popular culture, his transition from music to real estate, and the controversial origins of his biggest hit, "Ice Ice Baby." Vanilla Ice mentioned that more people may actually know him for "Ninja Rap" instead of "Ice Ice Baby." He rebuffed claims that someone named Mario "Chocolate" Johnson wrote his songs, stating that this was news to him and causing confusion on who actually wrote certain parts of his songs. The rapper also detailed how he almost signed a contract with Def Jam Records, stating it was a "dream come true," but ultimately, he made the decision to sign with SBK for a larger payout, a move which he attributes to his manager. His journey highlights the bustling hip-hop scene during his time and his contribution to bringing it to mainstream recognition.
