First of all. You. Are. Lying. You know "Ice Ice Baby" just like every person on this planet. That is one of the biggest pop culture phenomenons of the past few decades, and to pretend otherwise is nonsense. However you feel about Vanilla Ice, or that song, it has made him an icon that far outshines much more deserving artists, including Janet Jackson. If you don't want to accept this, I guess because you absolutely refuse to give any credit to any artist you don't like, then have fun being wrong.

Secondly. Alright, so if her music isn't well-known outside of certain circles, then what does make her an icon? She doesn't have any videos that anyone outside of those same limited circles would know. Or performances. What makes her an icon?
