British Reality series, The Farm

He appeared in the British reality TV series The Farm, something on this should be added.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.243.57 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 3 May 2005

Wrestler

According to the juggalo championshit wrestling page, he wrestler with them, which I think is just funny, but should probably be included somewhere.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.35.35 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 7 July 2006

Rebranded image

Someone should edit the part about the balcony incident.

from http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2006/02/16/DI2006021601769.html?nav=nsc:

"Did you or did you not get dangled off the balcony by Suge Knight. Let's get the truth.

Vanilla Ice: No. I did not. It was kind of funny -- when they take a little bit of truth in the media. If it's not exciting, they polish it up a bit. I was on the balcony and had signed over a lot of contractual money to him and felt like I did the right thing. In a weird way, he was nice but firm with me. He took me to the balcony and talked to me... but it's funny how the story gets turned around... I'm wondering how that story got changed around."

ninja turtle

I heard that he was made an honorary ninja turtle for the ninja rap in TMNTII, but the scource was a cracked article, if someone could look into this that would be great. this is the link to the article http://www.cracked.com/article_20317_the-7-most-wtf-post-fame-careers-famous-musicians.html

Why is there no mention of the "Under Pressure" controversy in the Legal Issues section?

This issue, which is mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_Pressure#Sampling and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Ice_Baby#Lyrics_and_music, as well as http://www.fairwagelawyers.com/most-famous-music-copyright-infringment.html, is a significant part of his career and the history of music sampling in rap and hip hop music. Many people remember him more for this incidence of plagiarism than for anything else. It seems unbalanced not to address this in this biographical article.
