Synopsis
Amazon.com There are actually far better contenders for the position that Vanilla Ice now occupies: That of the least-regarded (critically, anyway) superstar of the pre-Alternative '90s. MC Hammer comes pirouetting to mind, for one. Where're his props lately? Busted out from under him. But Oho! Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer are now collected on the dual Back to Back Hits compilation--which is bargain-priced and supersedes To the Extreme. It's by far the better value. "Ice Ice Baby" is not a bad song--it's just a Queen song without enough Queen. But then, take a sweep at today's hip-hop arena and tell me the man (Van Winkle will be the name on his death certificate) wasn't prescient. In the end, he may be remembered as the proto-Puff Daddy. --Gavin McNett Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA lyrical genius! Kelsey | 11/10/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Why do so many people hate this guy? He isn't a novelty act. He's a true rap genius, a visionary. He's like the Chad Kroger of rap- which is a great compliment, considering Nickleback are one of the best bands of all-time! I wish he wasn't a one-hit wonder, though. I'd love to hear more awesome albums by him!"
