Vanilla Ice was a member of the softball team "The Hip Hop Stars" alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Method Man in a 1999 game shown on MTV Rock N' Jock . Later in 1999, MTV asked Vanilla Ice to join their cast to "retire" the music video for "Ice Ice Baby" on the MTV special "25 Lame", in which Ice himself was asked to destroy the video's master tape. When Ice was given a baseball bat, he ended up destroying not only the film but the show's entire set as well. In 2001, DJ ReAnimator remixed "Ice Ice Baby" with Vanilla Ice re-doing his vocals for the track. "Ice Ice Baby 2001" was released as a single and music video for the European market, spawning a wave of new overseas interest in Vanilla Ice.
