#19 - Vanilla Ice: The backstory behind one of America's best selling hip-hop artists that everyone loves to hate.
Description
Hello and thank you for tuning in to the Pop Culture Retrospective Podcast! On today's show, we will be re-living the glory days of Robert Van Winkle aka Vanilla Ice. 1991 was most certainly the year of Vanilla Ice as he could be found on MTV, awards shows, on bookstore shelves and toy store shelves all over the world. However, just as quickly as he rose to fame, his fall out of the lime light crashed and crashed hard. On this episode you will learn about his life before "Ice, Ice, Baby" became an earworm, why 1991 was the year of Vanilla Ice and what is life has been like after his peak of fame. So sit back, relax and enjoy!
On this episode, I mention a few music videos of his, check them out here:
