Two of America’s most surprising cultural icons, Vanilla Ice and Kid Rock, are teaming up for a tour that is sure to be as contentious as it is nostalgic—a turn of events that nobody anticipated but that everyone is talking about. This dynamic team, known as the “Woke is Whack” Fall US Tour, is traveling the country to perform their greatest songs and, of course, to express their opinions on what they perceive to be the “wokeness” epidemic that is sweeping the country.
Don’t believe that the 1990s are over. The days of cargo trousers, backward baseball caps, and frosted tips are back, but this time they’re accompanied by political commentary. However, don’t anticipate in-depth policy debates. Rather, fans may anticipate Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, became well-known in the early 1990s thanks to his popular song “Ice Ice Baby.” He has been in and out of the spotlight ever since, making appearances on reality TV and experimenting with real estate, but now he is back with a message and a vengeance.
In a press release, Vanilla Ice stated, “Look, I’m all about having fun and keeping it real.” However, what is happening at the moment? It’s impossible to say anything without offending someone. Man, that’s not how we were raised. We had a terrific time, said what we wanted, and did what we wanted. For those who are tired of being cautious, this tour is for you.
Vanilla Ice isn’t usually the type to Kid Rock was the logical option to accompany Vanilla Ice on this tour because he has never been one to keep back his beliefs. The singer of popular songs like “Bawitdaba” and “Cowboy” has gained notoriety for his vehement remarks and political outbursts at performances, where he attacks what he refers to as “cancel culture” and the “PC police.” The inevitable next step in his continuous campaign against what he perceives to be the insanity of the current world is his collaboration with Vanilla Ice on the “Woke is Whack” tour.
“This isn’t about being left or right, man,” Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, said in a comment regarding the tour. This has to do with common sense. It’s about not letting a group of people who spend their entire day on Twitter dictate what we are allowed to and are not allowed to say. That is not what I am here for, and I am aware that many others are not either.
“We’re going to small towns, where people don’t care about what’s trending on social media, but we’re hitting all the big cities,” the rocker added. All they want is to go about their lives without anyone taking offense at anything.
In addition to large cities like Dallas, Detroit, and Atlanta, the “Woke is Whack” tour will also make stops in some more rural areas that the team describes as “the heart of real America.” The 30-date tour, which begins in late September, is expected to give a strong message that “woke culture” is over while reviving the carefree spirit of 90s rap-rock.
Fans can expect some really passionate monologues in addition to the customary abundance of nostalgia hits like “Ice Ice Baby” and “All Summer Long” at the gigs. Kid Rock, who frequently launches into political tirades during performances, has made it clear that he intends to step it up for this tour. Similarly, Vanilla Ice has proposed On social media, tour detractors have already begun to express their worries. The pair’s anti-woke attitude has drawn criticism from Twitter users in particular, who have referred to it as “outdated,” “tone-deaf,” and “a desperate attempt to stay relevant.” However, that is precisely the point for Kid Rock and Vanilla Ice. Kid Rock stated in a recent interview that “trying to please everyone isn’t the goal here.” “In fact, you’re probably doing something wrong if everyone is happy with you.”
The idea that Vanilla Ice and Kid Rock have collaborated to produce a new song that will serve as the tour’s “unofficial anthem” is one of the most prominent theories circulating about it. According to reports, the song, titled “Whack Attack,” criticizes everything from virtue signaling to cancel culture. The chorus exclaims,
In a recent radio interview, Vanilla Ice stated, “I’m just saying, we need to bring back some fun.” “Everything has become far too serious. People can’t even laugh anymore. We created this song to serve as a reminder to everyone that having a sense of humor is acceptable. Everything doesn’t have to be that grave.
It’s unclear if “Whack Attack” will emerge as the new anthem of the anti-woke crowd, but preliminary reports indicate that it features Kid Rock’s trademark rock-infused rap and vintage Vanilla Ice beats.
