About This Track
“Ice Ice Baby” was initially released as the B-side to Van Winkle’s cover of “Play That Funky Music”, but the single was not initially successful. When a disc jockey played “Ice Ice Baby” instead, it began to gain success. “Ice Ice Baby” was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard charts. Topping the Australian, Dutch, Irish, Italian and UK charts, the song helped diversify hip hop by introducing it to a mainstream audience.
Robert Van Winkle, better known by his stage name Vanilla Ice, wrote “Ice Ice Baby” at the age of 16, basing its lyrics upon his experiences in South Florida. The lyrics describe a drive-by shooting and Van Winkle’s rhyming skills. The chorus of “Ice Ice Baby” originates from the signature chant of the national African American fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha. Of the song’s lyrics, Van Winkle states that “If you released ‘Ice Ice Baby’ today, it would fit in today’s lyrical respect among peers, you know what I’m sayin’? My lyrics aren’t, ‘Pump it up, go! Go!’ At least I’m sayin’ somethin’.”
