I cant believe I lived long enough to hear this story from ICE himself. This rumor had been going around since we were kids.
Vanilla Ice had the No. 1 album in America, 7 million copies sold. Then he opened his hotel room door and found Suge Knight inside with five men. All armed. All smiling.
In the video below, he tells the story himself.
He had two bodyguards with him. The men said they were huge fans. They wanted pictures for their daughters. He posed. Everything was cool, he says.
Then Suge asked to talk to him on the balcony. Alone.
His bodyguard stood up. Vanilla says one of the men slapped him so hard he cried, and took his gun.
Thirty minutes later, they brought in Chocolate, the man who claimed he helped write the song. Vanilla says his eye was black and his lip was swollen.
"Ice Ice Baby" was the first rap song ever to top the Billboard Hot 100. Everyone wanted a piece of it.
Forget the famous version where Suge dangled him over the railing by his ankles. Vanilla says that never happened.
What Suge actually told him out on that balcony is the part he says everyone gets wrong.

Kwame Toure explains that while he never looked to the Soviet Union for his model of socialism, he would never actively attack them because revolutionaries should never waste an ounce of their energy attacking the enemies of U.S. and western imperialism.

And we need to stop the bit about unskilled labor. That is a myth invented by capitalists to justify starvation wages. All labor has skills for the job they do.

All the Caribbean seems to be doing is taking from Cuba and when its time to stand up for them its well "self preservation."

Tout moun nou wè k ap opoze ak Bukele yo, lè peyi a ap viv nan ensekirite, se ladan yo fè gwo lajan. Yo pa ta renmen wè sekirite retabli toutbon, paske sa ta fè yo pèdi sous revni yo.

Sa w di fè sans men majorite ayisyen kontan, m pa vle mache sou emosyon yo donk sèl bagay nou ka fè se swete tout bagay ap anfòm epi sipòte parèy nou yo😅

I will never understand how so many of y’all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.
