The University of Alabama, kicking off the new school year, put together a concert, which was free for any UA student. At that concert was Nappy Roots, some other bands that have never seen the light of day, and the headliner� (if you haven�t guessed it by now, you need to brush up on reading comprehension) Vanilla Ice (I know what you are thinking, �what a crappy concert�, but it was a public university funded event, they can�t get the big bands for those). Anyway, despite all the crappiness that was Vanilla Ice during the 80s, he�s actually turned his career around. He is now a crappy hard-rock rapper as opposed to a crappy pop-white-rapper. The coolest part of his show was by far his drummer, known as �Hitman�. That guy was not only a good drummer, but he packed a lot of emotion (or just general craziness) into his playing. He also had tattoos of Beavis and Butthead on his pecs, which was sweet. Anyways, the concert wasn�t bad seeing as it was free, but less-than-average music is not why Vanilla Ice sucks.
During the concert, one member of my dorm threw a bag of weed on stage to get Vanilla Ice�s attention. It worked. After Ice was done he talked with the guy and agreed to come to a party back at our dorm. Ice was going to wait to until after the other bands finished to come over, which worked out well because our dorm had not prepared for a party. Two kegs were purchased, guys went to sorority row to invite girls, and music was turned on. We waited. We waited some more. Then we waited some more.
As you are probably expecting, Vanilla Ice never showed up. I never really thought he would, until I heard from a firsthand source that he would. I don�t care that he didn�t show up. In his place I wouldn�t have either. I do care that he said he would show up and didn�t. We got all the booze and girls and music, but no Vanilla Ice. As you can imagine, seeing as we had all the necessary "party favors", we went ahead and had the party. It just transformed into a �screw Vanilla Ice party� instead of a �holy crap we are partying with Vanilla Ice party�. Vanilla Ice sucks. He also owes that guy a bag of weed.
