Bi-Polar is the fifth studio album by Vanilla Ice. Released by Liquid 8 Records, through BMG, the album is referred to as a "double CD packaged as one",[1][2] the first album, titled Skabz,[2][3] consists of nu metal songs, and the second album, titled Bomb Tha System,[3] consists of hip hop music. Skabz features appearances from heavy metal music figures such as Josh "Gnar" Brainard, Roy Mayorga, and Billy Milano. Bomb Tha System notably features appearances from Chuck D (of Public Enemy fame), the Insane Clown Posse, and Wu-Tang Clan affiliate La the Darkman. Each side of the booklet features a different cover for each album. Although Vanilla Ice is credited as "V-Ice" and "Ice" on the album, there was never any intent to change his stage name. The performer is quoted as saying "people are asking me that question [...] there's no name change. I'm proud of it and I'm not trying to run from anything or hide from anything."[3] According to a BMG executive, sales were "not bad...for Vanilla Ice. That's pretty respectable. Seriously."[4] Bradley Torreano of All Music Guide called "Elvis Killed Kennedy", the track in which Chuck D makes a guest appearance, "the best song on the album."[5]
