The debut single "Ice Ice Baby" was the first rap song to reach No. 1 on the pop singles chart.
One of the flashiest flash-in-the-pans in pop history, Vanilla Ice quickly rose to fame in 1990 with his debut, TO THE EXTREME, and its massively successful single, "Ice Ice Baby." Shamelessly ripping off David Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure," the bass-heavy tune brought hip-hop to a new level of popularity, and made the slick, flamboyant rapper (born Robert Van Winkle) a superstar. However, Ice's popularity was short-lived--thanks in large part to both false claims of a notorious past and a really bad haircut--leaving this album, which also features a raucous, boastful track built around Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music," to stand as an amusing document of his fleeting fame.
