After that, he grew up between Dallas and Miami, where his new stepfather worked at a car dealer. Van Winkle was influenced by Hip hop at an early age, saying "This is my great passion because I love poetry, I am only strongly influenced by the whole movement and it shapes me into who I am today." Between the ages of 13 and 14, Van Winkle practiced breakdance, which caused his friends to call him "Vanilla", as he was the only one in the non-black group. Even though he does not like the nickname, it's nonetheless. Shortly afterwards, Van Winkle started fighting at parties and because of rhymes, his friends started calling him "MC Vanilla." However, when he became a member of the breakdance group, Van Winkle's stage name is "Vanilla Ice" combining the nickname "Vanilla" with one of his breakdance moves; "Ice".

Careers
Early career (1985-1989)
In 1985, he focused all his energies on motocross, winning three championships. After breaking his ankle during the race, Ice was not interested in racing professionally for some time, using his spare time to perfect his dance moves and create his own movements while his ankle healed. Ice uses his beatboxing skills and breakdance as a street performer with his friends at a local mall during this time. One night he visited City Lights, a nightclub in South Dallas, where he dared to go on stage by his friend Squirrel during the open-mic. He won the crowd and was asked by City Lights manager John Bush if he wanted to appear regularly, which he received. Ice will join the stage with D-Shay and Zero disc jockey and Earthquake, a local disc jockey at City Lights. The Vanilla Ice Posse or The V.I.P. will also perform with Ice on stage. As a player for City Lights, Ice opened for N.W.A, Public Enemy, The D.O.C., Tone L? C, 2 Live Crew, Paula Abdul, Sinbad and MC Hammer.
In January 1987, Ice was stabbed five times during a fight outside City Lights.

Two years later, Ice will open for EPMD, Ice-T, Stetsasonic, and Sir Mix-A-Lot on the Tour Stop Violence. Quon sees commercial potential in Ice knocking and dancing skills. Buying studio time with Quon earnings from City Lights, they recorded songs that have been enhanced onstage by Ice and acquaintances with various producers, including Khayree. The two-year production was distributed by an independent record company called Ichiban Records in 1989. "Play That Funky Music" was released as the album's first single, with "Ice Ice Baby" appearing as a B-side. Tommy Quon personally sent singles to various radio stations throughout the US, but the singles were rarely played and when it did, it did not get the reaction Quon expected. When Darrell Jaye's disc jockey in Georgia played "Ice Ice Baby" rather than single A-side, the song got a fast fanbase and other radio stations followed suit. Quon financed $ 8,000 for the production of a music video for "Ice Ice Baby", which received heavy play by The Box, raising public interest in the song.
Following the success of "Ice Ice Baby", the record producer Suge Knight and two bodyguards arrived at The Palm in West Hollywood, where Ice was eating. After pushing Ice guards aside, Knight and his own bodyguard sat in front of the Ice, staring at him before finally asking "How are you?" Similar incidents repeated on several occasions. Finally, Knight appeared in the Ice hotel suite on the fifteenth floor of Bel Age Hotel, accompanied by members of the Los Angeles Raiders soccer team. According to Ice, Knight took him out on the balcony alone, and implied that he would throw it off the balcony unless he signed the publishing rights for the song to Knight; Knight uses Ice money to help fund Death Row Records.

SBK meremix and re-record Hooked under the title To the Extreme . The re-edition contains new art and music. According to Ice, SBK pays him to adopt a more commercial and conventional appearance. This causes Ice to then regret its business dealings with SBK.
For Extreme being the fastest-selling hip hop album sold out of all time, spending sixteen weeks at # 1 on Billboards 200 and selling eleven million copies. SBK Record Executive Monte Lipman stated that he received a call from a radio station that reported more than 200 phone calls requesting Ice Ice Baby. SBK wants Ice on the road as soon as possible. MC Hammer, an old acquaintance of his club, has Ice as an opening act on his tour. Reviews on For Extremes are mixed. Reviewer Weekly Reviewer Mim Udovitch gave B album, citing "Ice Ice Baby", "Play That Funky Music", "Dancin" and "It's a Party" as the highlight album. Robert Christgau gave the C-rating album, writing that "suave sexism, supremacy of men who are very men rather than dangerous obscene, are no worse than their friendly suits". Criticizing the techniques and style of Vanilla Ice, reviewers Allrovi Steve Huey writes:
Ice mic technique is actually more powerful and more agile than MC Hammer, and he really tried hard to show off his skills. Unfortunately, even if he can keep the mid-tempo pace, his stream is rigidly rigid, and his voice has a strange timbre; plus, she never seems to believe the right accent to adopt. He was able to overcome those shortcomings somewhat in isolated moments, but they became too obvious during the entire album.
In late 1990, Ice started an eight-month relationship with Madonna, and appeared in the photo for her book, Sex. In the height of Ice's popularity, SBK licensed a 12 "doll made by THQ.In January 1991, he was a music guest on Saturday Night Live Ice splits into the film industry with appearances in the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, which he later called "one of the coolest experiences" of his career Ice is very secretive about his personal life, with the aim of protecting his family When a Dallas Morning News reporter asks Ice about his mother's profession, he replied, "It's none of your business." In an attempt to improve this, his former label wrote a fake biography in his name and tried to pass it as an official live story without his knowledge. While on tour in 1991, Ice discovered that SBK had instigated a biographical publication detailing false biographical information, including claims that he had gone to school with Luther Campbell and exaggerated his living conditions. ami, which Ic e then has to disprove by himself.
Es's second major release is the live album Extremely Live, released in March 1991. The album is a live recording during the appearance of Vanilla Ice in Miami during the To The Extreme tour. Capturing new songs like Rollin 'in My 5.0 , Road To My Riches and Satisfaction , the album reached # 30 on Billboard 200, but received mainly negative reviews, with Entertainment Weekly David Browne's review called it "one of the most ridiculous albums ever released," comparing it to The Best of Marcel Marceau , an album consisting of two sides of silence opened with a brief ovation. According to Browne, Very Lively "gives you the opportunity to hear an unreasonable tone [...] and an unattended drum, where, someone assumes, Ice and the fence is dancing on stage." Monte Lipman later stated that SBK just released a live disc to earn more money from Ice fame. In April 1991, Ice began filming SBK that produced Cool as Ice , in which he played the lead role.

In 1994, Ice received less publicity and was removed from the public spotlight. After becoming more interested in the Rastafari movement, Ice becomes vegetarian, grows dreadlocks and speaks more openly about smoking marijuana. On March 22, 1994, Ice released their second studio album, Mind Blowin '. Reviews are not favorable. Entertainment Weekly James Bernard's reviewer called the album "more clumsy than funky". Rolling Stone storyteller Danyel Smith praised the song "Get Loose" as "sharp", writing that although the lyrics are "ridiculous", "the song is a tumultuous party, one of the few places where Ice loosens up. He sounds strong at the beginning of 'The Wrath' as ââwell... In 'Now and Forever,' the wet dream kind of song, Ice returns to silly lyrics. "Allrovi reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes that" There is not a single moment that forms a different musical identity, and everything is a bit embarrassing. " Primus bassist Les Claypool stated in response to Ice-oriented lyric Ice: "It's all nice and cool and cute, but it can be misinterpreted and manipulated by the wrong people." When asked about voice-oriented drugs years later, Vanilla Ice said "Many drug-oriented notes because I did a lot of drugs at the time". Shortly after, SBK went bankrupt.
At around this time, Ice started using ecstasy, cocaine and heroin. During periods of heavy drug use, Ice received many tattoos from his acquaintance artist. According to Ice, he "is in binge days, he does not even realize how much he gets." Ice tried to commit suicide with a heroin overdose on July 4, 1994 but was revived by his friends.

Unsure about his future career, Ice studied real estate and started working on renovating and selling the house. In late 1995, Ice set up a recording studio in Miami and joined the grunge band, Pickin Scabz. The name was set to reflect Ice's career and how he healed from his suicide attempt and that he is now "taking a cut". Ice expressed interest in performing hip-influenced rock music, but found that the band could not produce the sound he was looking for. In 1996, old colleague and friend Monte Lipman signed Ice as an artist for Universal Republic Records. He performed an unnamed guest vocal stage for the song "Boom" by Bloodhound Gang on their CD One Fierce Beer Coaster.

Ice then developed a friendship with producer Ross Robinson, who became famous for producing music by Deftones, Korn, Limp Bizkit and Sepultura. Robinson and Ice share an interest in motocross racing. Monte Lipman hopes Robinson will produce a new Vanilla Ice album. According to Robinson, others have been trying to prevent him from working with Ice, saying it might damage his reputation. Instead of being persuaded, their fears prompted Robinson who agreed to work with Ice. In an interview, Robinson stated, "It's the most punk-rock thing you can do." Though unhappy with his old pictures, Winkle states that he has never had a problem with his older music. Ice decides not to change his stage name to something else, because he feels no need to run away from his past, though uncomfortable with some of it and start performing again, ordering a hundred shows a year.

Ice attracts an entirely new audience when he starts the tour again, some of which are not even familiar with his main voice. Despite getting his own audience and going to Gold, reviews of the album were generally negative. Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote "The most sincere new song, Scars, denounces the abusive father Sentiment will sound more original if Korn is not there first.. "Richard Torres of Rolling Stone gave the album two out of five stars, writing that while" no one, however, can redeem Ice Wasting boasts, "the album" is not half-bad. " In the New Rolling Stone Album Guide , Rob Kemp gave the album three out of five stars, writing that it contained "the most convincing music" of Ice. Many executives at SonyBMG predict that the album will be better than 'To The Extreme'. In the "Hard to Swallow" promotion, Ice toured with a seven-part live band that included Weezer's future bassist, Scott Shriner. The band opens with rock-oriented material from Hard to Swallow and ends with an older hip hop song. The setlist also includes "Power", based on Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song". Ice says that writing songs and featuring them is like therapy, because he has tried to hide his anger when making his older songs but Robinson was the first producer to tell him to make it.

At the request of his stepfather, Ice started working with his former manager Tommy Quon again, hoping to recreate some of the miracles they worked so hard in the early 1990s, Ice denied an interest in becoming big again and that his only passion was music, not fame.

In the New Rolling Stone Album Guide , Rob Kemp gave the album one of five stars, calling the album "really lethargic".

Rapper Riff Raff has mentioned in interviews that Vanilla Ice is one of his greatest influences.
Eminem often names Vanilla Ice in his songs. Starting from the recording of the decency he did with rapper Proof in 1992 where they performed against each other by featuring Ice and MC Hammer. In his first single "Just Do not Give a Fuck", Eminem mentions Ice alongside Everlast, boasting in a fun way that he is a better rapper. In the "Role Model", Eminem says he tore the Vanilla Ice dreadlocks. Ice responded in a magazine interview with Vibe that Eminem "knocked like a girl". While Vanilla Ice and Eminem do not see their response as real beef, Eminem answers the quote in her song "Marshall Mathers" which also features a verbal attack on Insane Clown Posse. Eminem called Ice again in the song "Purple Pills" in 2001, which caused Vanilla Ice's only response in the song. On his album Bi-Polar, Ice mentions Eminem in positive light ("Hip Hop Rules") and in a negative light ("Exhale"), however, Ice states that he has no bad feelings towards Eminem. In a 2002 interview, Vanilla Ice stated that he thought Eminem's reference flattering, went on to say "I gave him credit, I think he's talented, I think he is a rapper killer, you know I do not compare myself to him because he's a white rapper I do not compare myself to other rapper periods, I do not color hip hop, that's stupid, but for those who do that just look from a racial point of view, and it really should not look in that direction, you see two musicians who have a wide hip hop brand, so you do not have to compare us both.Follow me, any white rapper should hear 'oh, you think you're Vanilla Ice?', so I'm sure he heard it. "In April 2009 , Ice appeared in the music video for Eminem's song "We Made You". In the 2011 single "Fast Lane", Eminem knocks about driving his car while listening to "Ice Ice Baby".
