Just because some people from the golden years can make a new album and make a successful comeback doesn’t mean everyone should do it. Try telling that to Vanilla Ice. The rapper is back wit ha new album of sorts. The album ‘Vanilla Ice is Back! Hip Hop Classics’ features 13 tracks, 1 of which is his hit ‘Ice Ice Baby’ and 3 more of which are remixes of the said song. What the heck? For the rest of the album, the rapper desperately tries to resurrect rap and hip hop songs from the 90s which were laid to rest when they were for good reason. I don’t think anyone needs to hear his interpretation of Six Mix-a-Lot’s ‘Baby Got Back’. The album is accompanied by a so-called tour of meet and greets at various bars in multiple cities. Lord save us all.

Has been rapper and recent reality TV star Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Matthew Van Winkle, was arrested on Thursday night for allegedly hitting and kicking his wife. His wife Laura told a deputy that “He started yelling at me for going out to buy a bedroom set. In front of my daughter. I’m sorry I can’t say any more until I talk to an attorney.” Is he so hard up on cash that he would hit his wife for buying a household necessity? According to the Palm Beach Post, the 40-year old Winkle was charged with simple domestic battery and is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail.
