Ice Spice’s old high school volleyball photo has been trending on Twitter, and fans are losing their mind over the rapper’s life before the fame.
Earlier this week, a photo of Ice posing with her high school volleyball team surfaced online and has fans clamoring to find out more about the Bronx native.
In the picture, Ice dons her trademark curly hair while rocking a number four jersey alongside her teammates.
Ice Spice played for Sacred Heart High School in Yonkers, New York, and earned herself a full scholarship to play in college for SUNY Purchase.
However, in an interview with DJ Booth last summer, she revealed she only played college volleyball for a year after deciding the sport was not for her.
She also flirted with the idea of becoming an actress as well as enrolling in beauty school before she decided rap would be her career. Ice’s high school volleyball photo arrived a week after her yearbook photo also popped up online.
The photo caused a viral reaction across social media thanks to Ice having straight black hair with a striking resemblance to actress Lauren London.
While fans are clamoring for more of Ice’s past, she’s not the only female rapper to have old footage surface online. GloRilla recently saw an old video of her working at a Checker’s in Memphis, Tennessee circulate on social media.
Last November, a TikTok user shared the clip of Big Glo donning a headset and taking orders from customers while having a live stream of some sort. In the clip, the “Tomorrow 2” hitmaker made the best of her time at work, chatting it up with people.
“‘I’m gone get me some free food,’” GloRilla said, mimicking someone that commented on her live stream. “Yeah get your ass back. Wassup Gap? You better get your ugly ass back ‘fore I block your ugly lame ass.”
A customer then approached the intercom outside the fast food joint to place an order, and Glo snapped into action by turning her headset on and asking how can she help them.
This is kind of a microcosm of today’s hip hop. This woman has absolutely no presence and sounds borderline socially awkward when she speaks. However, somebody thought let’s make her a rapper. This is why putting anyone from this era in top anything is a no go. When corporations took over with the game, this is all that it became and is no longer about the music. It’s just a vehicle to get from A to B and for corporations to make money.
keep crying
Who is crying? I have enough old good music to last me forever so I don’t have to hear this trash, but I guess you like bad music though.
And “true hiphop” sites like this keep spewing this glossy gossipy garbage all over us. “Rihanna unfollows Britney Spears on Twitter”. “clout chasing mumble rapper gives veteran rapper his flowers in Instagram post”. “Cardi B switched her hairstyle”…. In 92 all these clowns wouldn’t sell 5 records and they MOST DEFINITELY wouldn’t even be labeled as hiphop. Now if you are 5% black -or pretend to be – and you’re holding a mic >>> you’re a rapper. Who tf gives a shit about ice spice and her commercial autotune mumble crap??? GARBAGE FOR LITTLE CHILDREN
Damn dummy. This man made a great point and your response is “keep crying.” Sit back down at the lil boy table
I don’t think this is corporations taking over or whatever but more the process of recording music is much more available to anyone with a few hundred dollars worth of equipment. To say some of these rappers wouldn’t exist in the early 90’s overlooks the MC Hammers and Vanilla Ice’s of the world. The quality that came out of the 90’s was largely in part because it was expensive to make a record, so if you didn’t have the skills nobody would take the risk of investing in you. The music business has always been a business… but now a rapper can make a name for themselves independently and cheap, and the record companies will follow the trends and throw money at the next fad.
It’s absolutely corporations taking over. Even churning out this garbage quantity over quality was something the corporations decided was a good idea. There were artists that lived in the studio back in the day and lots of music that got left on the cutting room floor that people who had their ear to the streets were wise enough to say ah, no. Corporations know that if you overwhelm people with garbage, nine times out of ten, they’re still going to eat it. They have experience with this in every other arena they touch. They do not care about what it sounds like or what it portrays. Put it in front of enough people, and it will trend, and this is what they’ve decided to make trend. It’s no different than what they did to TV with reality shows. Cheaper to make but people will watch it because nothing else is on.
Lauren london? Gtfo
Is ice spice paying hiphopdx or something? I don’t get it. This constant push of her is puzzling to me.
