"Platinum Underground" is the seventh studio album by Vanilla Ice. Released on August 16, 2005, the album's insert contains the photographs from the original "Bi-Polar" CD case.

The album includes a remake of his "" song "Ninja Rap", called "Ninja Rap 2", the new version dedicated to the Juggalos rather than the Turtles. "Ice Ice Baby" is re-recorded again for this album. "Survivor" is a pseudo-cover of the Destiny's Child song "Survivor". Track 11: "Bounce" heavily samples Ace Frehley's version of New York Groove, from his KISS Solo Album. Tracks 16 through 24 are answering machine messages and phone conversations from various people including Tammy Faye Messner (whom he had recently co-stared with in the reality television show "The Surreal Life"). Vanilla Ice had similar answering machine tracks at the end of his previous album "Bi-Polar". Track 25, "My Kids", is a music box like instrumental song.

The few reviews that the albums received were poor, receiving a dismal 1/5 stars from AllMusic. [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wnftxqrsldhe~T1 allmusic ((( Platinum Underground > Review ))) ] ]
