Bi-Polar is the sixth studio album by Vanilla Ice. Released by Liquid 8 Records, through BMG, the album was initially planned as a double album consisting of one disc of rock music (Skabz) and one disc of hip hop music (Bomb Tha System). Before the album's release, it was decided that the two parts of the album would be released on one disc, with each part labeled.[1][2] Each side of the booklet features a different cover for each part. 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.[1][3]
In the initial publicity for the album, Vanilla Ice claimed that the album would feature a guest appearance from Lenny Kravitz.[4] 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."[2] According to a BMG executive, sales were "not bad...for Vanilla Ice. That's pretty respectable. Seriously."[5] 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."[6] The Bomb tha System section of the album was reissued under the title Hot Sex on July 22, 2003.[7][8]
