1990 was a pretty dreary year entertainment-wise, full of no-talent skanks, attention whores, and weirdos who all got far more media coverage than they deserved. In other words, a time much like our own. Most of these bozos have long since disappeared, but every now and then one of them bobs back up to the surface.
Like, for example, Vanilla Ice. This early rough draft of K-Fed has been trying to restart his music career for about fifteen years now without much success, but just recently he took a break from his busy schedule of Surreal Life spin-offs (and, I’m guessing, a part-time job as night watchman at a tuna cannery) to accept an actual paying gig. Here’s EmCee Vanilla Ice and a bunch of excruciatingly bad contestants, rapping on the timely subject of paying your taxes. This may be the only thing lamer than those rappers who appear at fourth grade assemblies and bust a rhyme on the importance of staying in the crosswalk. On the upside, we now have a pretty good idea what K-Fed will look like in 2025 when he appears on streaming holovision with a socket in the top of his skull, telling all good citizens to kick it old school and report for their government-mandated neural chip implants.

Don’t get me wrong because I’m certainly not a fan, but to lump Ice into the same category with K-Fed doesn’t quite fit. It may have been a very small slice of time, but Vanilla Ice did have a song that everyone in a America was singing. K-Fed would have to make a deal with the devil to even get anyone to NOT laugh at his “music”. However, he is laughing all the way to the bank.
My best friend in law school confessed to me that at one point, he wanted to be Vanilla Ice. An Iranian-American Vanilla Ice.
He also confessed to crying while watching The Karate Kid. I’m not gonna tell you which part of the movie did it though.
