Was Vanilla Ice actually, legitimately seen as cool back in the day? Like, no joke, people genuinely thought that?

Jeez, people in the nineties really had low standards of quality.

He was by and large seen as a joke by anyone over 13. They played his song at middle school dances

I went to a black elementary school and the 6th grade girls absolutely loved him.

He was seen as pretty lame though he had a couple of not terrible songs. He was popular mostly among kids.

word to your mother

treilr for his "movie" is cringy as fuck

ALRIGHT STOP

>Was Vanilla Ice actually, legitimately seen as cool back in the day?

He was never seen as cool, but normies liked him for about 8 months in 1990.
After that even normies started treating him as a joke.

He's still pretty cool. Have you seen Cool as Ice? Why are you saying he's not cool and wasn't cool?

Fuck you and all the rest of the kiddies in this thread. You didn't even have consciousness in the 90s. Stop LARPing as old people such as myself on Sup Forums.

Vanilla was always cool.

he's a chad thundercock who did whatever the fuck he wanted. Based af

You have to conider that his album sold 15 million copies. That's Rolling Stones or Madonna level. And that was just his debut album.

I feel like he was an old equivalent of Psy

Gangnam style haha amirite

So what is considered 'cool' now? kardashians? pewdiepie?

Vanilla Ice proved that you could make more money in hip hop from white kids in the suburbs than black kids in the hood

add dubstep and taylor swift


numales are pathetic.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

No. Popular music that was sold as "cool" at the turn of the decade like Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli and C&C Music Factory was so fucking fake and lame that it made kids want to like dark edgy stuff under the presumption that it was more genuine, which set the tone for the whole decade.

anything really

the internet has shaped society to be able to form sub cultures for all styles of people

>>In February 2015, Ice was arrested and charged with burglary residence and grand theft after he allegedly stole furniture, a pool heater, bicycles and other items from a Florida home he believed to be vacant.[116] He later accepted a plea deal which would result in the charges being dropped following his completion of 100 hours of community service and payment of restitution to the estate of the homeowner


Jesus christ he's worse than Fraser

Vanilla was always unhinged

Why are you guys still watching that JonTron guy even though its confirmed he is a National Socialist?

>normies liked him for about 8 months in 1990
thats pretty accurate. Ice Ice Baby was the only thing that made him popular. He aped the baggy pants and dancing from MC Hammer.

all the more to watch him fom

i wonder what hes up to now

childhoodkino

you just answered your own question kid

I don't know, I remember him being popular when I was in elementary school, and that was just among the other children.

Drop the zero and get with the hero.
>t. drake bell

No one who uses the word "normie" was born before 1995.

You've quoted me but I have no idea what you're talking about. Is this what myopia looks like? Is this what solipsism looks like? Go fuck yourself. Just because JonTron is your main source of information doesn't mean others are completely ignorant of the shit JonTron spews. I've never even consumed JonTron content, not once. I hope you die.

Yeah. Unless your name is norman, stupid.

Jontron? Isn't he that guy who killed someone with his car in Charlottesville?

chris katan is such a little bitch. i was hoping Rob was going to club him

>pretending all races are equal
lel

JonTron made a video about the Vanilla Ice movie recently, so I assumed OP made this thread because he watched the video. The video got like 2 million views so it's not weird for me to assume that.

Also "I hope you die" is a bit of an overreaction.

good looking movie. cinematographer was the same one as Saving Private Ryan + Schindler's List

youtube.com/watch?v=ryvHj2z-0BM

I like how Jon released the video and already there's kids who never heard of Ice asking about him on Sup Forums.

I LOVE THOSE FUCKING EYES

>not enjoying non political content from a creator because of their political views

absolute melt right here lads

...

i remember watching the movie as a kid and enjoying it. then i watched it again a few years ago and i liked it then too though i could now see how cheesy it was. but i'm a real sucker for early 90s stuff.

If he didn't get caught stealing the beat for ice ice baby he would have been a legit pop star

Hello 2013!

this guy is on point

such a Chad face

You will die one day. And when that day comes, I hope you remember this post.

chkd

with a face like that, all he needs are altering flavor of the year/decade haircuts and appropriate clothing, and he will be seen as cool any time, any era.

To the hip teenagers, yes, just like the people who are seen as cool by the hip teens of today will be seen as incredibly lame in 20 years.

Yes, until Nirvana happened.

People these days think Macklemore is cool, nothing has really changed.

Czechd

Nirvana where already a thing by 1990

>Was this mongrel actually, legitimately seen as cool back in the day? Like, no joke, people genuinely thought that?
>Jeez, people in the 2010s really had low standards of quality.

...

Macklemore was popular 5 years ago get with the times

That's exactly why for the first time in 6 years ive seen vanilla ice posted

Vanilla Ice's face looks straight out of a nazi propaganda poster yet he was a total wigger retard
Really makes u think

It's amazing how handsome he is (no homo) not even the dumb haircut, clothes or the retarded way he talked could make him unattractive. A true Chad.

Smells like Teen Spirit broke in 91'
Ice Ice Baby was 90'
Not discounting Nirvana were already making waves though

>did people think a millionaire chad was cool
I guess all those record sale dollars got into his pocket magically.

And drake. For some reason he's considered talented and and cool.

He was a novelty. People didn't look at him because they respected him, he was essentially a sideshow act.
You looked at him the same way you would a bearded lady or a sword swallower.

Cool as Ice is kino

youtube.com/watch?v=NlydTf5bJdo

Posting this era's Vanilla Ice.

Just like how people think Kanye is cool now.

first thing i thought of

Goddamn, younglings is this the first time you hear about Cool as Ice?

sure thing kanye

I'm 101% sure that OP made this thread because of Jontron last video

He was the eminem of his time

Eminem was around back then though.

nothing wrong with taytay

Wanna have gay sex with me?

No, this one

youtu.be/GAsbF_-EG9A

Only if you have no body hair or pubes.

I don't have gay sex. I'll have to make a deep analysis of your penis to see if your penis is feminine enough

This lol

collaborate

Ice ice baby

Shut your whore mouth.

There was that one time Vanilla Ice collaborated with the Bloodhound Gang on a song and it was actually kind of a banger.

youtube.com/watch?v=41qC3w3UUkU

people thought this was cool back then. looks gay as fuck

>even though

I don't understand what you mean by this.

>cinematographer was the same one as Saving Private Ryan + Schindler's List

well I'll be damned imdb.com/name/nm0001405/

Tupac was so gay he had to rape women to cover it up.

>faggot did ballet
>people thought he was hard
Only thing hard about him was his COCK when he was getting RAMMED in the ASS

youtube.com/watch?v=YPj8l9uFl6k

he probably was. look at this

I was in jr. high at the time.

I had a friend tell me he was totally cool. Then due to the laws of peer pressure I automatically thought he was cool. Never understood the appeal of him though.

OY VEY GOY STOP WATCHING VIDEOS HE'S AN EBIL RACIST KKK NEO NAZI

He was popular in the very early 90's. They had him at all the major fights, I remember him especially at a Tyson fight and he was very relevant and cool.

His fame as a serious person was short lived though but people saying Jeff was always a joke are completely off and I feel like they were too young to remember his peak popularity.

t. 52 years old and remember the 90's well.

That's pretty sad of both of you to watch it.

jeff?

I went to high school w/ Rob in Texas. He was actually really nice. A rich kid, but pretty chill. My buddy's sister went to prom w/ him. Meh..

sorry mobile post, "he"*

He seems like a good dude. I enjoyed the Amish tv show he did. Seemed down to earth and very likeable.

My name he
