ʻO Vanilla Ice (inoa maoli ʻo Robert Matthew Van Winkle) he mea hoʻokani mele ʻAmelika. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ʻOkakopa 31, 1967 ma South Dallas, Texas.

'Opio o Robert Matthew Van Winkle
I kona wā ʻōpiopio, he haumāna ʻilihune ʻo Robert i loaʻa nā māka haʻahaʻa a haʻalele pinepine i ke kula. I ka makahiki 18, i ka wā i noho ai ke keikikāne i ka papa 10, ua haʻalele ʻo ia i ke kula. I ka hopena o nā makahiki 1980, hana ʻo Matthew i kahi holoi holoi kaʻa.
Ua nānā ʻo ia i ka moʻomeheu a me nā hula o kekahi o kona mau hoa a ma hope mai ua kau inoa ʻo ia no kahi hale pō ma ke ʻano he mele rap. ʻO ia iho i ka rap a me ka hula, a ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua aloha koke ka poʻe iā ia.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ma hope mai ʻo Vanilla Ice no ka mea he keʻokeʻo.
Lanakila hau hau
I ka makahiki 1989, ua kau inoa ʻo Matthew iā SBK Records a ua hoʻokuʻu i kāna album mua, ʻo Hooked, kahi i loaʻa ai ka Play That Funky Music.
ʻAʻole i kūleʻa nui ka mea hoʻokahi a ua loaʻa i ka album Hooked nā kūʻai maikaʻi ʻole. Ma hope mai, i ka makahiki 1990, ua hoʻoholo kekahi DJ kūloko e hoʻokani i ke mele Ice Ice Baby.
ʻAʻole like me Play That Funky Music, ua lanakila nui ʻo Ice Ice Baby, me nā lekiō ma nā wahi āpau e loaʻa nā noi e hoʻokani i ke mele ma ka lewa. Ua hoʻokuʻu hou ʻo Matthew i ka album Hooked, i komo pū me ka mele Ice Ice Baby.
Ma hope mai, i ka makahiki 1991, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Vanilla Ice e komo i ka ʻoihana kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Ua hana ʻo ia i ka Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Emerald Potion (1991) a laila kāna kiʻiʻoniʻoni mua ʻo Ice Cold (1991).
Ua heihei ʻo Robert i ka motocross ma lalo o kona inoa maoli no ʻelua makahiki a ua hoʻomaha loa mai ke ao mele. I ka makahiki 1994, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kahi album ʻē aʻe, Mind Blowin ', nāna i hoʻolauna i ke kiʻi hou o Ice.
Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i lōʻihi ke ola ʻoluʻolu, no ka mea, ua banekorupa nā moʻolelo SBK. Ua aneane make ʻo Matthew i ka lāʻau lapaʻau, ua kōkua ʻia ʻo ia e ola hou e kekahi o kāna mau hoaaloha. Ua mare ʻo ia ma hope a ua loaʻa ʻelua keiki.
No nā makahiki ʻehā e hiki mai ana, ua nānā ʻo Vanilla Ice i ke ola ʻohana, ʻoiai ʻo ia ma ka hōʻike. Ua hoʻi mai ʻo Ice i ka makahiki 1998 me kāna album hou, ʻo Hard To Swallow, kāna hoʻokuʻu mua nu metal, i hana ʻia e Ross Robinson. Ua mamao loa ka album mai kāna hana mua.
Aia kekahi mana rap metala o Ice Ice Baby i kapa ʻia ʻo Too Cold. Ua kūʻai aku ka album i 100 kope a ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia e nā "fans", i lilo ʻo Ice i mea mahalo hou ʻia.
Ua ukali ʻia e Bi-Polar, Platinum Underground a me WTF nāna i hoʻohui i ka nu metala, rap rock a me nā mele hip hop me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe me ka ʻāina a me ka reggae.
Ma 2011, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i ka mea hoʻokahi Under Pressure a me Ice Ice Baby, kahi hui o ʻelua mele. Ua hōkū ʻo ia i ke mele mele ʻo Adam Sandler Bye Bye Dad (2012). Ma ka hui ʻo 2011 Juggalos, ua hoʻolaha ʻia ua kau inoa ʻo Vanilla Ice i Psychopathic Records.
Me nā Beastie Boys, 3rd Bass a me House of Pain, ʻo Ice kekahi o nā rappers keʻokeʻo mua i loaʻa ka lanakila nui. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Chuck D. i kekahi manawa he "breakthrough" nui ʻo Matthew: "Ua haki ʻo ia ma waena o ka hema, ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o Texas, i kahi mea e like me ka moʻomeheu hip-hop kūloko."
I ka makahiki 1991, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui 3rd Bass i ka Pop Goes the Weasel, ma nā mele o nā mele i hoʻohālikelike ʻia ʻo Ice me Elvis Presley.
Kaila a me ka mana
E hoʻomaka ana i ka hopena o nā makahiki 2000, ua hōʻike ʻia nā hana ola a Ice i kahi hui o nā mea hou, pōhaku a me ka ʻenehana, a me ka hip-hop kula kahiko. Ua hoʻokani ʻo Ice me kahi mea hoʻokani pahu ola a me DJ, a i kekahi manawa ua hoʻopuʻi ʻia kāna poʻe hālāwai me ka wai hue.
Ua hōʻike pinepine ʻia nā hana a Ice i ka baluna ʻokiʻoki puʻupuʻu, ka mea hula e ʻaʻahu ana i ka pale pale clown, a me ka confetti i hoʻolei ʻia i ka lehulehu.
Ma ka wehewehe ʻana i kāna mau hana, ʻōlelo ka mea hoʻokani: “He ikaika kiʻekiʻe, luʻu kahua, pyrotechnics. He lewa pāʻina pupule."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ice ua hoʻohuli ʻia kāna ʻano mele e nā mele ma lalo o ka honua ma mua o ke kumu. Ua manaʻo ʻo ia iā ia iho he mana i ka hip-hop a me nā mea hana leʻaleʻa e like me Funkadelic, Rick James, Roger Troutman, Egyptian Lover a me Parliament.
ʻO Robert ka mea makemake nui i nā makahiki 1950 a me nā makahiki 1960 reggae. a me ka hana a Bob Marley, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia makemake iā Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot a me Systemof a Down.
Hoʻokani ʻo Matthew i nā pahu a me nā kī. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Robert i kāna mele koʻikoʻi ʻo "overground" ma mua o ka lalo o ka honua ʻoiai ʻo ia i hoʻāʻo ai e hana i nā pahu hula a ʻokiʻoki i nā huaʻōlelo hoʻohiki i hiki i nā mele ke hiki i ka lehulehu ākea.
