MP3: Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby (Bertie P Mix) (2008)
DJs, mix this joint into the Kris Kross remix from D*L*i*d that we put up a while back and a winner is you!
And yo! Check it out! ‘Cause I can—here are two more icy hits. One, the ‘Miami Drop Mix’ from the O.G. 1990 single and two, the poetic ‘Ninja Rap’ from the poignant and vivid piece of Cinéma-vérité known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze.

MP3: Vanilla Ice - Ninja Rap (1991)
Go ninja, go ninja, go!
Visit Vanilla Ice on MySpace and let him know he was cooler in 1991.
Visit Bertie P on MySpace and say word to his mother.
I saw him in Bucharest for a gig a few months ago. It was all very pathetic, however he did do the ninja song and ice ice baby which stopped people from booing…
Ninja Rap ftw. I was fortunate enough to be flipping channels the other day right as the club scene/fight with the ninja rap came on. I was ecstatic.
What were the names of the wolf and snapping turtle in “Ooze”?
Tokka and Rahzar were the wolf and snapping turtle, haha.
his myspace is rediculous. he did a song called ninja rap 2.
plus, it seems like the only record he knows how to sample from is that
DJ SWAMP : Waxcraft
from like ‘98 or some shit
As ridiculous as it seems, he can sometimes seem like a funny guy to hang with.
But Ninja Rap 2? Yeesh.
I attended a Vanilla Ice gig when I was a kid and my friends think it’s something I made up. “Did he come to Mexico?”, they ask me.
In that time I thought he was cool. In fact, after that reality I thought he still is. In fact I liked that song with Bloodhound Gang.
Consider this: that line where he sings “If my rhyme was a drug I’d sell it by the gram” is amazing.
I’d been looking for this mix for years. Now I feel fullfilled… sorta.
