The timing was wrong. It was too soon after the Milli Vanilli scandal. People over-reacted and that was that.
Available now in shops on audiobooks:"Milli Vanilli read Vanilla Ice's 'Autobiography'"
Asked why he had the Vanilli boys recite his story instead of doing it himself, Ice said: " The boys know where it's at, they've been down similar roads, but have kept silent in regards to their own story, I think they're a bit shy that way, humble. So, I asked them to get my story down on tape, we have a lot in common, the same bs story, beating the odds in our own way, keeping our own truth, protecting our own truth. No-one needs to know the truth, but my truth is here spoken through their truth, and if anyone is interested, they can find their own truth through ours, but the key here is story, and truth, never tell lies, unless you can get someone else to, uh, what I mean is...if you can't tell the truth keep your mouth shut and let someone else to do it for you...uh...yeah, that's we're trying to do here, it's a collaboration for the blind and the illiterate, and the cool dudes who do not like to be seen on the bus with a book, but will sit with headphones no sweat. Peace out bros."
