It's not often an article makes you re-evaluate an artist, but this one did. Who knew that Vanilla Ice was actually authentic and tuned into early hip-hop culture? One wonders what his career would have been like if he had actually signed with Def Jam.

I also remember watching the "In Living Color" parody done by Jim Carey live on broadcast TV (yes, I am that old) - just like everyone else, I went from fan to hater immediately.
