Production, Release and Reception
The album was first released as a digital download on November 4, 2008, and on compact disc on November 11, 2008. According to Vanilla Ice, he did not have creative control over the production of the album, but he chose most of the songs. IGN reviewer Spence D. wrote "From uninspired rap/rock interpretations to thin voiced funk interpretations on down to the poor synth break beats, is an embarrassing endeavor that sounds like it should have stayed locked inside Ice's studio (or at the very least leaked on YouTube and passed off as a piss take)."
The cover is based on Elvis Presley's 10th studio album: Elvis Is Back!.

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or reception:
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
