Vanilla Ice Discography
This is a discography of Vanilla Ice, an American rapper. Born in Dallas, Texas, and raised in Texas and South Florida, his discography consists of six studio albums, two compilations, one live album, one remix album, and 13 singles. His debut album, To the Extreme, was the fastest-selling hip hop album of all time. His single "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard charts, and has been credited with helping to diversify hip hop by introducing it to a mainstream white audience. Further albums, including Hard to Swallow, Bi-Polar and Platinum Underground, featured a less mainstream rock-oriented sound, and did not chart.
In 2008, a remix album titled Vanilla Ice Is Back! was released via Cleopatra Records. The album failed to chart, however, "Ice Ice Baby" was re-released as a single in the United Kingdom, where it reached number 146 on the UK Singles Chart. A new studio album, W.T.F. (Wisdom, Tenacity And Focus), was officially released on August 30, 2011, after being delayed for two years.

Famous quotes containing the words vanilla and/or ice:
“If there be any man who thinks the ruin of a race of men a small matter, compared with the last decoration and completions of his own comfort,—who would not so much as part with his ice- cream, to save them from rapine and manacles, I think I must not hesitate to satisfy that man that also his cream and vanilla are safer and cheaper by placing the negro nation on a fair footing than by robbing them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“...there was the annual Fourth of July picketing at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. ...I thought it was ridiculous to have to go there in a skirt. But I did it anyway because it was something that might possibly have an effect. I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.”
—Martha Shelley, U.S. author and social activist. As quoted in Making History, part 3, by Eric Marcus (1992)
