Watch Full Interview: • Vanilla Ice Tells His ...
Part 2: • Vanilla Ice on Being 1...
Part 4: • Vanilla Ice: Suge Knig...
--------
In this clip, Vanilla Ice discussed the intersection of music, sampling and legalities, sharing that many people don't understand that hip hop and sampling had existed long before his iconic song, "Ice, Ice Baby." He recognized the significant part sampling plays in hip hop and noted that despite lawsuits in pursuit of sampling clearances, artists still practice it - sometimes illegally. He pointed to the creation of an entire building in New York City for the clearance of his record, a testament to its immense popularity. Vanilla Ice also mentioned that instead of facing a lawsuit for using a sample from "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, he opted to buy the song, owing to the costs of the legal process and the potential profits that could ensue from the purchase. He endorsed the importance of understanding and managing publishing rights and highlighted the financial successes attached to owning publishing rights for enduringly popular music like Elvis or The Beatles.

So Vanilla Ice was right and wrong. Michael did buy Beatles music and also owned half of Sony music which was Eminem, Beyoncé, bjork , beck, etc. (He bought Eminems publishing after Em dissed MJ and MJ got Ems video pulled down.) And MJ owned his own music…..bought Beatles for 45 million……BUT after MJ passed a few years later his estate SOLD his half of Sony back to Sony for 850 MILLION! 600% profit. But they (the MJ estate) kept the publishing of Michael’s music. That ATV catalogue is worth 1.5 to 2 Billion now. Michael Jackson estate has made about 2.5billion since his death

Glad he explained how publishing works to a degree... Ppl think Diddy giving the Bad Boy artists they're publishing back was a play since the artists who are broke claim that it's "worthless," but it's a long play tbh. Publishing has to be worked. Not all rap pub is worth anything at all because not everyone can create a piece of "timeless" pub. Think about how many times you've heard "Return of the Mack," or "Ante Up" play in a commercial or film. Those are great pieces of rap publishing, as are "Ice, Ice, Baby," "It's Tricky," etc

I remember jamming Ice Ice Baby in MY 5.0 convertible over in Panama City Beach during the spring breaks.. Vanilla Ice ( Rob)put his mark on the WORLD and it will stay there forever! Love him or hate him.. he was the number 1 dude out for a long time!

I never heard any one break publishing down so understandably, especially the mechanical part. So even Ashanti still gotta pay a mechanical royalty to Irv after they replayed it? Is it less?

This is around the time of when The Turtles sued De La Soul for a sample in “Transmitting Live From Mars” and won. That changed the game completely. So Ice is incorrect that he’s the cause of sample clearance.

@@michaelaker1621 Ok, I can believe that. However: “R&B performer Jimmy Castor sued the Beastie Boys in federal court in New York in 1987 for the Beasties' unauthorized use of Castor's song.” So who’s to say who changed the game. Vanilla Ice did say they built a building after his case though 😂

According to a spokesman for Queen, Vanilla Ice doesn’t completely own the "Under Pressure" song. They have an arrangement was where they both share the publishing of the song.

Exactly and Vanilla Ice was smart enough to know that that’s why he bought this song And he’s right 100% they are artist still today making millions off of sampling other peoples music which I’m not hating on but it just makes you wonder why a lot of artists are not going after them to get their bread

Vanilla Ice can't help but tell non-truths. He wasn't the first to cross over by a long shot. RUN DMC with walk this way. Salt & Pepper with Push it. The Beastie Boys sold 4 million records because it was a cross over success. The Sugar Hill Gang's Rappers Delight was a cross over hit. The Beastie Boys were the first ro be taking to court over sampling.He also said EPMD was sampling before him a decade earlier when it was actually 2 years before his debut album came out. The Sample clearance building built just because of him is also a lie .

I live in the same town as him. In Wellington, Florida. He is some kind of contractor or home improvement guy. I know people that know him and work with him. They say he is a good guy. He is also active in the motocross scene. So back in the day he was considered to be goofy, but my friends say he is a good guy.
