Vanilla Ice

Vanilla Ice is the stage name of Robert Matthew Van Winkle, who was born in Dallas, Texas on October 31st, 1967. He is a rap artist who gained some measure of popularity with the song "Ice Ice Baby", released in 1990 and performed with DJ Earthquake. Though he faded into obscurity in the late 1990s, Ice managed to resurface multiple times over the years with limited success as a rap artist. In 2010 he began hosting his own reality television series, The Vanilla Ice Project, which premiered on DIY Network on October 14th.

In film
A fictionalized version of Vanilla Ice appeared in the 1991 superhero/comedy film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. In the film, Vanilla and his entourage performed at a night club in Brooklyn. The club experienced no small measure of calamity when two mutant monsters known as Rahzar and Tokka burst into the place, causing havoc. The Ninja Turtles arrived to save the day and fought against the monsters. As the battle raged on, Vanilla cut to a new song called "Ninja Rap", and his fans chanted along with him as he sang, "Go ninja, go ninja, go". Even after the affair was over, the Turtles' mentor, Splinter, even found himself intoning lines from the song.

Ninja Rap lyrics
Yo! It's the green machine

Gonna rock the town without bein' seen

Have you ever seen a turtle get down?

Slammin' Jammin' to the new swing sound

Yeah, everybody let's move

Vanilla is here with the new Jack Groove

Gonna rock, and roll this place

With the power of the Ninja Turtle bass

Iceman, ya know I'm not playin'- Devastate the show while the turtles are sayin':

Ninja, Ninja, Rap! Ninja, Ninja, Rap!

Go Go Go Go!

Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go; Go Ninja, Go ninja, Go!

Go Ninja, Go Ninja. Go; Go Ninja, Go ninja, Go!

Go Go Go Go!

Lyrics, fill in the gap

Drop that bass and get the Ninja Rap

Feel it, if you know what I mean

Give it up for those heroes in green

Just flowin, smooth with the power

Kickin' it up, hour after hour

Cause in this life there's only one winner

You better aim good so you can hit the center

In it to win it, with a team of four

Ninja Turtles that you gotta adore it's the:

Ninja, Ninja, Rap! Ninja, Ninja, Rap!

Go Go Go Go!

Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go; Go Ninja, Go ninja, Go!

Go Ninja, Go Ninja. Go; Go Ninja, Go ninja, Go!

Go Go Go Go!

Villains, you better run and hide

Because one day you might not slide

Choose your weapon but don't slip

Vanilla's in control with the flex of the mic grip

Rockin' the crowd the way it should be rocked

With the Miami drop that you like a lot

Hittin' like a Ninja Turtle when the bass kicks in

You better check your level

The power of the Ninja is strong—Fightin' all the crooks until they're all out cold.

Ninja, Ninja, Rap! Ninja, Ninja, Rap!

Go Go Go Go!

Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go; Go Ninja, Go ninja, Go!

Go Ninja, Go Ninja. Go; Go Ninja, Go ninja, Go!

Go Go Go Go!'' ''
