Ice Ice Baby
"Dance, go rush
the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain
like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a
dope melody
Anything less than the
best is a felony
You better hit bull's
eye, the kid don't play
If there was a
problem, yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook
while my DJ revolves it" - Vanilla Ice
The 80's Rap song that I chose is "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice. In this song Vanilla Ice is boasting about his skills and talents of being a rapper. His audience is to all of the other rappers and towards those who listen to his music. The context of the rap is basically written to say that he is the best, and how his crowd will love it and if they don't, screw them. An example is in these 8 bars, when he says "anything less than the best is a felony... If there was a problem, yo, I'll solve it". The rhyme scheme is (aa,bb,cc,dd) and the literary work that he uses is ending rhyme scheme.
