MAGA Rappers Forgiato Blow and Amber Rose Serenade Republican National Convention With Parody of “Ice Ice Baby,” Apparently to Silent Crowd

MAGA Rappers Forgiato Blow and Amber Rose Serenade Republican National Convention With Parody of “Ice Ice Baby,” Apparently to Silent Crowd

The Republican National Convention is a particularly serious event this year for obvious reasons, but amid the big news and speeches, there was clearly still time for the kind of bizarre spectacles the convention has provided in the past.

This year, that spectacle appears to be taking the form of a low-budget hip-hop music video in which MAGA rapper Forgiato Blow raps a parody of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” about Donald Trump (dubbed “Trump Trump Baby”) alongside recent Trump supporter Amber Rose.

It proved to be a lot for the internet to take in, as many were left speechless by the politically charged rap that echoed familiar MAGA talking points (“Fake News” and “FJB” make appearances in the rap).

Apparently, the convention-goers were left speechless. Journalist Erin Reed reported that the audience remained “silent” in the hall after the concert, but it is unclear whether the audience was actually paying attention to the clip.

Oddly enough, Rose doesn’t rap at all in the video, though she lip-syncs several lines. It’s also worth noting that the two rap in some scenes in front of a Cybertruck, which likely ties into Elon Musk’s recent promise to donate $45 million per month to a Trump Super PAC. The video also humorously spells the word “starring” incorrectly.

It appears that Forgiato Blow did not authorize the “Ice Ice Baby” sample before releasing the song (the original itself famously interpolates Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure”).

While the video can still be viewed on the Trump Latinos YouTube channel as of this writing, embeds elsewhere include an error message stating that the video has been removed by Sony due to copyright infringement.
