Vanilla Ice, he of 'Ice Ice Baby' fame, has announced a string of UK dates.

Mr Ice, real name Rob Van Winkle, was recently the subject of an episode of VH1's 'Remaking...' series. The episode was screened in the U.S on May 1st but according to a statement on vanillaice.com, the rapper was less than impressed by the show: 'I have learned that when it comes to music and me it shouldn't be about image or gimmicks or hair style or clothes... it's about the music.' Before adding: 'They left out all the good parts on purpose.' Quite.

According to his website, Ice has been working with Rick Rubin on a new album called 'Hard To Swallow'. The man who gave Eminem all his ideas, claims the album is 'Molten hip hop'.

'Check out the hook while the DJ revolves it' at the following venues:
June
1st Shrewsbury Butter Market
3rd London Highbury Garage (in association with Glasswerk)
6th Glasgow Queen Margaret's University

Word.

Pity Vanilla Ice didn't teach Eminem to fuck off after one novelty hit.

Has anyone seen Jim Carrey's impersonation of him on In Living Colour?

Amen, The_Glory! Eminem AND "Ice," are both tools, and speaking of white boy rappers who think too highly of themselves and their "music," Fred Durst is also a tool!

"It's totally different to Under Pressure. There's goes dum-dum-dum-dedum-dum; mine goes dum-dum-dum-dedum-dum...dum." Oh, right.

Next!

Re: 'Stop. Collaborate and listen...'

I can see the right hand news panel in a couple of weeks:

'Vanilla Ice cancells tour dates'

Who the fuck wants to see this has been? Surely there's some crappy celebrity reality show out there for him.

Re: 'Stop. Collaborate and listen...'

well note the fact that the man who still gets songs played 10 years (?) after its release is playing 500 capacity venues

it's not an arena tour

1500 people

out of 60million

it's a minority

you're not against minorities

are you?

Oi Raz. I live in Shrewsbury, and it's an awesome l'il town!

The Butter Market is legendary - Mixmag have rated it one of their favourite venues in the country - Scruff, Fingathing, Scratch Perverts etc... play/dj there regularly!

Seriously.. it's a wicked place, but this gig is gonna be so funny!

Re: 'Stop. Collaborate and listen...'

True, I have a mate who actually travels there (2 hrs+?) for that very venue. Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester all much closer...

Last year he had a gig booked for Bristol University in December. It was cancelled, no explanation given.

I didn't have a ticket, incidentally.

What? 'Hard To Swallow' came out years ago...when he was riding the wave of nu-metal. It had guitars, it had rapping and shouting, it'll sell millions, right?

Fuckin' bandwagons - I 'ate 'em.

And just so you know - that album WAS rubbish.

All the bands in Telford have been clamouring over who gets to support him in Shrewsbury.

Anthony,

I think the Glasgow date you meant is actually Queen Margaret Union, or more commonly, the QMU.

Either that, or they've opened a new venue I don't know about!

What? As if! I mean, get real! I mean, as if I would!...I mean...

...look, my mate bought it, alright? He copied it for me...and I listened to it once and the novelty wore off, OK? Incidentally, you may be interested to know it has a nu-metal version of 'Ice Ice Baby' on it. Haha, yes, of course it's atrocious.

Re: 'Stop. Collaborate and listen...'

Please, PLEASE send me an MP3 of it. GO ON.

Re: 'Stop. Collaborate and listen...'

Hahaha! I've only got it on tape, and no means of MP3-ing it. But seriously, you're better of without it. You'd only need to get to the chorus and you'd begin to hate yourself.

Don't worry, when I was younger, I bought the 2nd Kris Kross album.

We all make mistakes, and then we move on.

I'm sure everyone will be devestated to find out this tour has been postponed until "later in the year".
