Negativity spreads faster than any Justin Bieber song.
I got caught up on drugs for a few years, I’m off it, I’m very happy, got two kids and a family and everything. And like I said I’m making the underground music, and keeping it real.
I’ve never left music behind, but I’ve had success in television.
I don’t have any reason to hate anybody; I believe in good karma and spreading good energy.
Be yourself and enjoy yourself. Show me a smile and I’ll show you one back. Karma: Believe in it. It’s real. It comes back to you.
One thing I didn’t understand in life was that I had $100,000,000 in the bank and I couldn’t buy happiness. I had everything: mansions, yachts, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, but I was depressed. I didn’t know where I fitted in. But then I found family and friends and I learned the value of life.
A lot of people don’t remember anything since ‘Ice Ice Baby,’ but I’ve got 3 records out since then and they’re all successes – but not commercially.
I don’t know all the certain words to word it.
Listen, if you don’t talk big game, you never get anywhere. If you don’t think big, you don’t get big. Some people call it egotistical, some people call it high hopes, some people call it confidence. It’s all in how you want to dissect it.
No way! Let me tell you, I’m no Elvis. Elvis had his time. I’m Vanilla Ice, and it’s my turn now.
My mom raised me to be clean, so it’s in my nature. I have two little girls, and I’m married, but we’ve got a nanny and a maid.
It doesn’t sound anything like ‘Under Pressure.’
I do freestyle jumping. Been doing since I was eight years old and can’t quit. I’m addicted. I’ve broken many bones, but I ride with confidence. It’s my thing – there’s no high on earth like it. It’s my hobby and I really enjoy it.
I use the music to vent, and a lot of the stuff that I am writing about or was writing about contained a lot of anger and anxiety, stress and depression, so that’s how the album came out so dark.
For three years, between 16 and 19, I was the opening-act-for-the-opening-act-for-the-opening-act, you know? And then I was on tour with Ice-T, Stetsasonic, EPMD, Sir Mix-a-Lot – legends – and went on to sell 160 million records. It still baffles me.
I just kept it real and had the freedom to do what I want. It’s not designed for any age group. It’s not made for radio. There are no edits. The whole album contains explicit lyrics but that’s because you need it.
We are who we are because of who we were.
Not everyone agrees on music. Some people like rap, some like country – it’s all an opinion. F the critics.
To the extreme I rock a mike like a vandal.
What makes critics dictate what is cool and what is not. What gives them the pass to say that their opinion on music or movies or anything is what should be cool and what shouldn’t. I don’t think it should be up to one person.
