Reviews Customer Reviews for Mind Blowin Album #4 of 7 Rating: Mind Blowin' is in my opinion, a great album. Vanilla probably was trying to
go for the "gangsta" or maybe even "g-funk" sound here which was quite a stretch. But, if you want to sell records, you have to adapt to what is popular. At least to an extent. Obviously, no one really bought Vaniila Ice as a "G", but if you actually listen to it, the production is good. It would be easy to imagine Snoop, Dre, Eazy-E (R.I.P.), or almost any other black rapper (except maybe Hammer or Fresh Prince) spittin' on these tracks. As far as lyrics, I'd say this is probably his best work, he borrowed a lot of lines from this album and used them on later ones. I thought the dreads were a little ridiculous, though. If you are a fan and you haven't heard this, buy it. If you aren't a fan, try to forget that this is Vanilla Ice. Imagine he is some rapper from the 90's and just pop it in and chill, you might be surprised when you notice yourself bobbin' your head.
Customer Reviews for Mind Blowin Cd Straight Fire! Rating: I was a Ice fan back in the early ninties when he was super mainstream, but i was very young just getting into music, and then I remember people hating on him and he became a joke for most. Alot of artist were trying to ditch their teen booper image and trading it for the harder sound that was becoming popular in 1994 (think wu-tang clan 36 chambers)i believe Mc Hammer tried doing it too, and it just looked like they were trying to hard. Now flash forward 10 years and i find myself in a outlet store where everything is cheaper and they had a little cd section and their it was Mind Blowin, i'm actually a very open minded person when it comes to music, i never discriminate. So I said what the heck for $1.88 I can't go wrong! The best $1.88 i ever spent let me tell you and just recently i had installed a subwoofer and amp in my car so it was time to blow my mind, and boy did it. I'm telling you this album bumps, very nice production by DJ Zero ("who wears a chronic hat but always says no") seriously the beats are amazing, almost like ahead of its time, most songs still sound great and not dated at all. What I really like about this album is that pretty much every song kicks, you can hear the whole cd without even thinking of skipping a song, which ya gotta agree can't be said about much music, especially these days in which i think hip hop is dead. What kind of sadens me is that if you tell your friends that you like this album people automatically hate, they don't even give a chance. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. "But I say yes and get it off my chest" Roll em up! is the best track
