Ice Ice Baby and U Can't Touch This were both released in 1990 and set the stage for what was to follow in the sense that, hip hop was about to get "gangster" as the anti-MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. Much like hair bands spawned grunge as their antithesis, those two helped spawn gangsta.

As a kid I was ready for grunge. It hit while I was 15 years old and full of angst. Now, looking back I actually love a bunch of those hair bands music. Bands like Van Halen were all about "fun". Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes I miss good ole rock and roll about partying and girls and not how misunderstood you are.
