Nineties rapper Rob van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice, brought his brand of rap-rock to the Tavern in front of a nostalgic crowd last night. Ice, who was accompanied by drummer Chris A and his DJ (who he referred to as the "Dirty Mexican"), drew a crowd of 750 students, according to Karen Gerlach, director of Student Activities.
As Ice progressed through a set of throwback Fred Durst and Insane Clown Posse rap-rock, students were itching to hear smash hits "Ice Ice Baby" and "Ninja Rap." Eventually Ice complied, playing a modernized version of his ever-popular hit, "Ice Ice Baby." With the conclusion of the song, many in the audience left the show, having heard what they waited for.
