Bi-Polar (Vanilla Ice Album) - Lyrics

Lyrics

"Hip Hop Rules" is Vanilla Ice praising what he loves about hip hop while overlooking his career. "Dirty South" and "Tha Weed Song" are about marijuana. "Molton", "Nothing is Real" and "Primal Side" deals with Van Winkle's mortality and thoughts of death while "Elvis Killed Kennedy" and "Hate" criticize the current condition the world is in.

A lot of the songs feature a mixture of explicit and humorous lyrics such as "Exhale" while songs like "Insane Killas" could be described as Horrorcore hip hop. The hardcore hip hop songs on the album, like "Detonator", "O.K.S." and "Unbreakable" focus on Ice's rhyming skills and flow while "Get Your Ass Up" and "Hot Sex" are club songs made for dancing, having lyrics that reflect that.

While mentioning him a couple of times in past interviews, Bi-Polar features Vanilla Ice's only musical response to Eminem who has been referencing him since the 90's and in almost every record since The Slim Shady LP (1999). In "Exhale", Ice claims that Marshall Mathers' initials stand for Mini-Me, which is also a reference to the Austin Powers franchise because the first film also referenced Vanilla Ice. Ice remarked that the song was just a joke and that he has no real beef with Eminem. Eminem did however name-drop Vanilla Ice again on The Eminem Show (2002) mentioning being reborn as his son and in the film 8 Mile (2003).
