Nope, you not gettin it. Vanilla Ice ain't a legend cause he ain't revolutionize or impact shit. He just sold a lotta records. That don't really mean shit, cause all he was was a knock off M.C. Hammer.
M.C. Hammer is not a one hit wonder, ain't no way you possibly believe that if you were alive in the '90s. The fact that he's a legend shouldn't een be questioned, his face was everywere. He made people all across the country cut they hair like him, dance like him, and wear big ass inflated pajama pants.
Soulja Boy did the same shit with his generation, and he's not a one hit wonder either. He had 3 platinum singles off his first album nigga, wtf? Then he followed those up with "Turn My Swag On" and "Bird Walk" off his second album. After him, there was a wave of lil niggas who wanted to make "Crank Dat *insert random object*" in hopes that they could blow like he did. And then, an artist like Wiz Khalifa or Lil B is a perfect example of a nigga who took Soulja Boy's blueprint to viral success and ran with it. Be real...
