MY BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW WITH OLD SCHOOL RAP STAR VANILLA ICE..... What up ninjas. Just last night(01/02/03) I was fortunate to chill with the IceMan himself Rob Van Winkle aka VANILLA ICE! Now before I give you my interview with him lemme just tell you that He along with his Drummer Chris aka Hitman & DJ Don't Play, put on one of the best Live shows I've ever witnessed. Just Pure Adrenaline transformed into Music. Well, here goes-

HODGE>- Now last time I chilled backstage with you in Sept, you told me about an upcoming track you were planning with INSANE CLOWN POSSE called "the Ninja Rap remix". When can the JUGGALOS expect to hear this and what will it be on?

VANILLA ICE I'M GONNA HAVE ABOUT A MONTH OFF OF TOURING HERE SOON, AND I'M PLANNING TO HIT UP THE STUDIO WITH ICP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I FUCKIN CAN'T WAIT CAUSE THOSE GUYS ARE LIKE FAMILY TO ME FORREAL! AS FOR THE SONG, IT WILL FIRST BE AVAILABLE ON MY WEBSITE WWW.VANILLAICE.COM, SO KEEP CHECKING BACK.

HODGE>- Now, seing as how you're hittin up the studio again, is there already a new V-ICE album in the works?

VANILLA ICE ACTUALLY YEAH I'VE BEGUN WORK ON IT ALREADY. IN FACT I JUST RECORDED A SOUL ASSASIANS TRACK WITH CYPRESS HILLS "DJ MUGGS" FOR MY NEW ALBUM!

HODGE>- Your last album "Bi-Polar(feat ICP,Vampiro,etc)" was like 50/50 Rock-Rap. What will your new album sound like?

VANILLA ICE WELL, I'VE GOTTEN ALOT OF FEEDBACK ON MY "BI-POLAR" ALBUM AND I THINK IMMA HAVE A MORE HIP HOP FEEL THIS TIME.

HODGE>- Any speculations on guests?

VANILLA ICE YEAH A TON OF EM. NOTHING IS CONCRETE YET, BUT LOOK FOR SUCH ARTISTS AS ICP(of course), BUSTA RHYMES, SPLIFF STAR, LA THE DARKMAN(WU-TANG), CYPRESS HILL, DJ MUGGS, REDMAN & METHOD MAN, KORN & MARZ, CHUCK D, AND MORE.

HODGE>- Speaking of BUSTA Rhymes, didn't you just do a huge radio show with Busta, Camron, etc?

VANILLA ICE YEAH MAN, THE NEW YORK SHOW. THATS SHOW WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! THE CROWD WAS SOO RECEPTIVE TO ME MAN. MY HIGHLIGHT OF THAT EVENING WAS WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT THE FRONT ROW AND SAW BUSTA RHYMES CHEERING ME ON! HE WAS FEELIN MY NEW SHIT. IN FACT HE CALLED ME ON X-MAS ABOUT DOING A TRACK ON MY NEW ALBUM!

HODGE>- Any album title yet?

VANILLA ICE NOT YET, BUT "BLOOD $" HAS COME UP A FEW TIMES.

HODGE>- Rumor has it that the night after you did that NY radio show, you drove to Buffalo NY to chill with ICP at thier show?

VANILLA ICE HELL YEAH, THOSE GUYS ARE THE FUCKIN SHIT! I SHOWED UP AND CHILLED WITH A BUNCH OF DOWN ASS JUGGALOS. THEN AT THE END OF THE SHOW I GOT ON STAGE WITH ICP AND DID A FREESTYLE RAP WITH VIOLENT J. WOO WOOO!!!

HODGE>- I just rented a new dvd called "The NEW GUY" the other day and noticed a familiar face playing the role of the Record Store owner. Props on that.

VANILLA ICE YEAH, SUPRISINGLY ALOT OF PEOPLE RECOGNIZED MY CAMIO ROLE IN THAT FILM.

HODGE>- Speaking of Movie roles and shit, any films or T.V. appearences in the works?

VANILLA ICE AH HELL YEAH!

HODGE>- What were you're thoughts from The GATHERING OF THE JUGGALOS 01?

VANILLA ICE FUCKIN AWESOME!!! I GOT MAD LUV FOR JUGGALOS! THEY ARE SOME OF THE MOST DEDICATED FANS I'VE EVER WITNESSED!

HODGE>- Now word around campfire is that rapper Bubba Sparxxx approached you at a show this past summer. What went down with that?

VANILLA ICE WELL, FIRST HE CAME UP TO ME WITH PRAISE FOR MY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GAME AND ALL. THEN OUTTA THE BLUE I ASKED HIM ABOUT ICP. HE TOLD ME HOW HE HATES THEM AND THEY DISSED THE HELL OUTTA HIM. I THEN GOT REALLY SERIOUS AND TOLD BUBBA HOW THEY ARE FAMILY TO ME AND HE NEEDS TO WATCH WHAT HE SAYS. HE WAS LIKE "OH YEAH, I FORGOT YOU GUYS WERE TIGHT" AND THEN DIDN'T SPEAK ANYMORE FOUL THOUGHTS ON THE CLOWNS.

HODGE>- Anything else you wanna tell your fans about before we jet?
