Biography
b. Robert Van Winkle, 31 October 1968, Miami Lakes, Florida, USA. Controversial white rapper who borrowed liberally from M.C. Hammer's blueprint for commercial success, and scored a UK/US number 1 with "Ice Ice Baby" (15 million worldwide sales). Just as Hammer utilized easily recognisable rock/pop classics to underpin his rhymes, Ice used the same technique in reshaping "Under Pressure", "Satisfaction" and "Play That Funky Music"...
