10 Hilariously Bad Musicians That Are Crazy Successful

At the very beginning of the hip hop takeover, people didn't really know what to do with the concept of white rappers. Though we had people like the Beastie Boys making waves around the same time as Run-DMC, they were still considered a bit of a joke compared with the Public Enemies of the world. While the Caucasian rap scene could have made a dent in the cultural zeitgeist, Vanilla Ice pretty much killed any chance of that happening forever.

Emerging in the late '80s, Mr. Ice is considered one of the douchier things that the glamorous era of MTV spat out, almost like he was overemphasizing the fact that he didn't have that much to work with. Even when he tried to defend his songs against blatant use of copyright infringement with Ice Ice Baby, he couldn't help but come off like an ignorant tool, stating that his sample of Under Pressure wasn't remotely similar because of one measly change.

Even when trying to make one comeback after the next, Ice just can't keep his foot out of his mouth, either saying something stupid in the media or just trying to stir up sh*t in an attempt to get some sort of spotlight on him. While he may have ditched the flattop a long time ago, Vanilla Ice has sorely forgotten that his time ran out a long time ago.
