Icing On Vanilla (pt.2)

Ok... Let's see... What do we have here..?

Hmm.... Well... I've just checked Wikipedia, and it tells me that there is absolutely nothing in existence, and to please come back later when something has happened.... which means we have nothing at all...

I guess that means I have nothing to do, then...

On the other hand... What was it that made it so that nothing would exist and nothing would ever be created? Oh! Yes! This:

And I know it exists, which means the universe wasn't a lie... There already existed something...

I KNOW! What if I assume that the title is stupid and Vanilla Ice simply made a mistake?

There we go!

Ok. Now that that's taken care of, I can proceed to make the actual post...

It seems that, after Cool As Ice, Vanilla Guy had realized what he had done, blown people's minds and pretty much everything else... And that wasn't a compliment either! Anyway, in 1994 he released Mind Blowin', and gave it pretty much the lamest cover ever. On the other hand, it's apologetic in its own way...

"I've destroyed the whole universe, but I can fix that and help you. Are we still friends?"

At least he offers to help people, now that he has realized that no one cares about him. He also seems to assume that, now that the whole universe has been reconstructed, everyone has become dumb. At least, that's the only way to explain why he has suddenly decided to put his name twice on the cover.

But was he thanked for that? Was anyone grateful for his help? Nooo... So, he simply decided "Fuck people! I hate y'all, and I'm gonna show that I hate y'all. I'm gonna kill y'all ungrateful bastards with my hate!". Yes... Mr. Vanillin apparently decided to suffocate his fanbase with shitty nu-metal.


Hard To Swallow what? How do you swallow music? And why are those conjoined twins bleeding from their eyes? Did they look at Cool As Ice for too long? On the other hand, it seems Vanilla Ice had reached puberty by this time, and the maturity of a 12-year-old, having given the album a track listing containing such jems as "Fuck Me" (which is located between two interludes, so we can assume he was really proud of it) and "The Horny Song".

Just had to put this photo...

Only then he saw what he had done, and decided that it was time for an apology. Looking back at his decisions, getting famous, nearly destroying the universe, helping people, killing them... he decided "Guess I'm bipolar", which gave him the idea of, instead of dealing with it and fixing his mistakes, celebrating it by making an album...

... With two covers.


It's understandable that he's trying to be original, but shouldn't he have realized long ago that he's not good at being original? No matter how you look at the situation, "one" is, and always has been, the best number of covers for an album. Just like "three" is, and always has been, the best number of parts for a trilogy, which is why I can safely say now:

"To Be Concluded..."
