THE #1 SONG 20 YEARS AGO TODAY WAS....

Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. Ah, memories. The first white rapper to make it big, Ice Ice Baby was also the first hip-hop single to hit #1 on the Billboard charts along with his album, To The Exteme, which sold over 11 million copies and was the 20th biggest selling album of the 90s. Not too shabby. The song has become somewhat of a punchline, but if you listen to it again there is no denying the hook. Everyone I knew memorized the words and I can still recite most of them. Ice was pretty hot (still is by the way) and the video showcased his good looks and dancing skills. White boy could move. Anyhoo, take a trip back to 1990 when we were pre-jiggy and post-tricky: here's Ice Ice Baby. ps... I had that hair.
