Oh Yea! Ice Ice Baby, baby!

Your Assignment Should You Choose To Accept.........

Mama Kats Writer's Workshop is pretty awesome this week. Well it's pretty much always awesome. But this week it is even more awesomer! In case you've never participated - what you do is go to her blog, pick one of the prompts, write, and link it up baby!

In case you can't tell I am super excited about this weeks prompts. Here they are-

1. Verse by verse dissect a favorite song you had in the 7th grade

2. List 5 must have gifts you are purchasing for a loved one this Christmas

3. Open letter to Santa Claus

4. Describe how you would celebrate the holidays if it was totally up to you and money was not a factor

5. Book review time! What winter read has you snuggled in and turning pages?

For some odd reason I was immediately drawn to #1. And a very specific, embarrassing, completely inappropriate song popped into my head. (It was by 2 Live Crew if you must know.)(It was never a favorite song, and I certainly do not remember it being so graphic!!)

Luckily things pop in and out of my head rather quickly. The very graphic 2 Live Crew was quickly replaced by Ice Ice Baby lyrics! Oh how I loved that song. I thought I was SOO cool singing along. I was SO not cool though. I was a huge nerd. Like really nerdy. Just to prove my super nerdiness I thought I would include a picture. I don't think this was actually taken in the 7th grade but close enough.

That is what happens if you let yourself get cornered by a Mary Kay rep...

(No offense, I like Mary Kay products, I swear!)

Now, on to the dissection -

Yo VIP let's kick it -

Ice ice baby (x2)
All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow - ok so WHY is he glowing???
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle - Im still not quite sure what that means!
Dance! Bum rush the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom - Yay!
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight - Gain weight?? He was telling me to get fat?
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play - Um, what?
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

CHORUS
Ice ice baby vanillla (x4) - Im starting to realize that maybe, just maybe, I did not in fact have the whole song memorized.... just the chorus. Cause lets face it saying ice ice baby 4 times is not that hard!

Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in and the Vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point to the point no faking
I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon - Mmmmm bacon, see he does want you to get fat!
Burning them if you ain't quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal - Did you hear a cymbal when you went crazy on that VH1 reality show?
And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my rag-top down so my hair can blow - That hair was SO sprayed, no way was the wind gonna blow it!
The girlies on standby waving just to say hi
Did you stop? No I just drove by - hmmm did they eat to much bacon?
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
The block was dead
Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue - Still not sure where this is, but when I was younger I really wanted to go there!
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis - Guess they weren't eating the bacon!
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghini's
Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they're so full of eight balls - I'm guessing this is some drug reference that I am still to nerdy to understand....
Gunshots rang out like a bell
I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack - Yea, you gotta watch out for them jackers dude!
Police on the scene you know what I mean - uh, no not really...
They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it - Good thing, cause I'm having a problem understanding this song!
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

REPEAT CHORUS - Yay! The part I know!!

Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel - Dude, I am so confused!
Conducted and formed
This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade slice like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast other DJs say, "damn"
If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice - Obviously I wasn't magnetized by your mad mic skills, must have been your cute ass!
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while Shay revolves it

Ice ice baby vanilla
Ice ice baby (oh-oh) vanilla
Ice ice baby vanilla
Ice ice baby vanilla ice
Yo man let's get out of here
Word to your mother
Ice ice baby too cold
Ice ice baby too cold too cold (x2)
Ice ice baby

How funny that I have been singing this song wrong for years! Oh well! I still love it. Even if it barely makes any sense. It's a classic. You just gotta get up and wiggle it when you hear Vanilla come on!

If you are feeling like a little Vanilla right now check out this video I found at YouTube!
