The meaning of the lyrics of the song "People's Choice" by the artist "Vanilla Ice"

Contents

In the song "People's Choice", Vanilla Ice proclaims himself as the unrivaled master of rap, "the people's choice". He is confident in his superiority over other MCs, ridiculing their outdated rhymes and inability to move the crowd.

From the very beginning, Vanilla Ice emphasizes the importance of not only the meaning but also the delivery of the lyrics: "It ain't WHAT you say, it's the WAY you say it!". He compares himself to "Attila, the MC killer", ruthlessly destroying competitors on stage. His rhymes are "real power", his rhythm is mesmerizing, and his "golden voice" drives girls crazy and makes guys jealous.

Vanilla Ice paints a picture of a narcissistic, self-assured, even aggressive rapper who enjoys his fame and doesn't tolerate competition. He boasts about his success with women, uses threats and insults against opponents, emphasizing his coolness and impunity.

At the same time, despite his self-confidence, Vanilla Ice strives for public recognition. He thanks the audience for their support ("I wanna thank ya for lettin' me be myself"), calls himself "the people's choice." Thus, the lyrics of the song reflect not only arrogance but also a desire to please, to win the love and recognition of fans.

[Verse 1:]

It's not what you say, it's how you say it

Give me a microphone, on stage, I'll display it

Playing me right and you'll get played out

Like polka dots and people will shout

Dirty words cause you're a nerd

I'm first, you're third

It's absurd to think that you heard

Better rhymes than these

I'm bringing sucker mc's, down to their knees

Tease your thoughts like a feather to a toe

Although the beat seems slow

My groove will still flow

My rhymes are soulful art

That makes your heart dance

Melodic tones move your mind to a quick trance

Everytime I rhyme I find the audience is

Mine, caught by every line

Sparkle like a gem with my golden voice

[Posse:] Why do they love you man?

I'm the people's choice

[Chorus:]

I wanna thank you for lettin' me

Be myself

I wanna thank you, uh

Thank you baby

I wanna thank you for lettin' me

Be myself

I wanna thank you, uh

Thank you baby

Let's swing it

[Verse 2:]

Step aside or you'll get stepped on

Cause I'm steppin' real hard and my rhymes are real strong

Just like Atilla, an MC killer

A crowd thriller, no once chiller than the man

With the mic in his hand, I'm a trip

All the girls on my tip

Fellas are jealous so I put in the clip

Of my 9-millimeter, lock at my hip

Fifteen shells all over the place

They would chase, if it wouldn't disgrace

The date that they came with

Cause that would be a dis

Tsk, Tsk, They don't know what they missed

A chance to dance with the man with

The golden voice

[Posse:] why do they love you, man?

I'm the people's choice

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]

Sucker mc's — I scare 'em

Girlies — I gotta love 'em

Rhymes — Comin' out of my ears

The competition — In tears

Slick dance moves — By the dozens

Battles — Please step up 'cause I love 'em

Settin' up suckers like pins on a bowling ball

And you're gonna fall

You won't hit, It's a bottomless pit

Of rhymes, comin' straight from the mind

Of a genius, and I can't be modest

When I make a threat, you bet

I keep it like a promise, so

Shake like a leaf when you see me comin'

Frankly, you're better off runnin',

Fast and don't look back, wack

Go take a nap, get off that crack, Jack

Crowds move by the sound of my golden voice

[Posse:] Why do they love you, man?

I'm the people's choice
