Ice Ice Baby
Early nineties chart-topping rap
"Ice Ice Baby" is a 1990 hip-hop song by Vanilla Ice, notable as the first hip-hop single to top the Billboard Hot 100.
The song samples the bassline from Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure" and became both a massive hit and a cultural punchline.
The phrase now often invokes 1990s nostalgia or signals something is about to begin, echoing the song's opening line: Alright stop, collaborate and listen—Ice Ice Baby.
