ice ice baby

Robert Matthew Van Winkle also known as Vanilla ice signed to Ichiban Records but later moving over to SBK Records in 1989 ice ice baby was his first billboards chart adding to the diversify of black and white hip hop. Later wishing that he would have never signed onto SBK Records that leaked personal information without his knowledge after surviving a suicide drug overdoes. Sometimes its not just drugs that can get to you its that people that you work with that make you want to turn to drugs so you can get an easy way out of all the problem an out of life. But either way there is always a come up to ever down fall and the come up could be bad or it could be good its whatever you want it to be.

Even though Van Winkle had his bad times with the famous world he didn't dewl on and make it become bad habit that he could not get rid of.Vanilla Ice turned it into something positive and changed his life around for the better.

I guess Van Winkle witnessing near death made him appreciate life way more because it inspired him to do better in his musical field and his life style. Making hits like hard to swallow and bi-polar just to name a few. In 2000 Van Winkle made a decision to go independent making his first solo album skabz.In 2004 Van Winkle made appearance on two VH1 shows The reality television and The surreal life.In 2005 Van Winkle released his fifth album Platinum Underground.
