Generally when people refer to the 90s MC Vanilla Ice, it's in the context of a joke or mockery. Born Robert Van Winkle, the Miami/Dallas-based rapper achieved unheard of commercial success on the back of his mega-hit "Ice Ice Baby", and in doing so marked the occasion of the first ever rap song to top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Furthermore alongside MC Hammer, Vanilla was one of several pop-rappers to help mainstream the then burgeoning genre, and in a sense paved the way for the genre's future success. Often these important milestones are forgotten in the grand scheme of music history, and should be recognized for their significance along with Ice himself.

...too bad his music kind of blows.

All the historical importance in the world can't forgive some terribly aged 90s white dork hip-hop, as Lilz and Patrick soon discover on an all new episode of Jukebox Zeroes. Joined by the industrial-grade snark of Matt Fanale (Caustic / Klack) the three of them discover that some nostalgia simply cannot be reckoned with, as they face Vanilla Ice head on by listening to his mega-selling full-length debut To The Extreme.
