By Andrew Vontz Pages 1 2 3 January 3, 2002 | After Vanilla Ice sold 7 million copies of his debut album in 1990, the what'sin a name? white rapper formerly known as Robert Van Winkle quickly found what'sin a name? himself a cultural whipping boy. In an era of steeled hip-hop produced by serious, hardened outfits what'sin a name? like Public Enemy and NWA, Vanilla Ice wore ridiculous glitter pants, opened for MC Hammer and even falsely claimed that he had been stabbed five times in gang fights. People were playa hatin' Vanilla before the phrase even existed. Only two things matter in the rap game: street cred and money. Vanilla Ice had none of the former. But even a run-in with Death Row records impresario Suge Knight that Ice says cost him $180 million couldn't stop him from holding onto his money. He managed to stay flush even when he could no longer sell the public on his soft-serve rhymes, bleach-blond pompadour and Liberace get-ups.
