In 1990, Vanilla Ice signed to SBK Records, who reissued Hooked under the title To the Extreme. The reissue contained new artwork and music. "Ice Ice Baby" was released in August 1990 as a single in its own right, by SBK in the United States, and EMI Records in the United Kingdom. The SBK single contained the "Miami Drop", instrumental and radio mixes of "Ice Ice Baby" and the album version of "It's A Party".{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/Vanilla-Ice-Ice-Ice-Baby/release/217177 |title=Information for "Ice Ice Baby" (SBK) |access-date=2009-02-13 |publisher=Discogs}} The EMI single contained the club and radio mixes of the song, and the shortened radio edit.{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/Vanilla-Ice-Ice-Ice-Baby/release/210032 |title=Information for "Ice Ice Baby" (EMI) |access-date=2009-02-13 |publisher=Discogs}}

Vanilla Ice wrote "Ice Ice Baby" at the age of 16, basing its lyrics upon the South Florida area in which he was raised.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/nov/03/popandrock.exhibition |title=Is this it? |access-date=2009-02-13 |last=Rayner |first=Alex |date=November 3, 2007 |newspaper=The Guardian}} The lyrics describe a drive-by shooting and Vanilla Ice's rhyming skills.{{cite book |last1=Perullo |first1=Alex |last2=Fenn |first2=John |editor1-first=Berger |editor1-last=Harris M. |editor2-first=Carroll |editor2-last=Michael Thomas |title=Global Pop, Local Language |year=2003 |publisher=Univ.

In a 1990 interview, Vanilla Ice joked the two melodies were slightly different because he had added an additional note.{{cite news |url=http://www.iowastatedaily.com/articles/2006/02/27/news/20060227-archive5.txt |title=Word to your mother |access-date=2009-02-13 |last=Stillman |first=Kevin |date=February 27, 2006 |newspaper=Iowa State Daily |archive-date=2009-12-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091204151103/http://www.iowastatedaily.com/articles/2006/02/27/news/20060227-archive5.txt |url-status=dead }}{{cite book |last1=Adams |first1=Nick |author-link=Nick Adams (comedian) |title=Making Friends with Black People |year=2006 |publisher=Kensington Books |isbn=0-7582-1295-X |page=75 |chapter=When White Rappers Attack}} Vanilla Ice later paid Mercury and Bowie, who have since been given songwriting credit for the sample. However, he ended up purchasing the rights to the song, because it was cheaper than licensing the sample.{{Cite web|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/apparently_vanilla_ice_owns_the_rights_to_under_pressure|title=Vanilla Ice Apparently Owns the Rights to 'Under Pressure'|website=Exclaim.ca|access-date=6 January 2022}}

Entertainment Weekly reviewer Dom Lombardo gave the album a B, calling the album "so consistent in its borrowings that it could be a parody, if it weren't for its total absence of wit",{{cite magazine |url=http://www.ew.com/article/1990/11/02/extreme |title=Review of To the Extreme |access-date=2009-02-13 |last=Udovitch |first=Mim |date=November 2, 1990 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |archive-date=2009-04-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415125856/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,318500,00.html |url-status=live }} but concluding that "if there's about a two-to-one ratio of winners [...] to clunkers, that's not the worst track record for a debut album." Udovitch cited "Ice Ice Baby", "Play That Funky Music", "Dancin'" and "It's a Party" as the album's highlights. Robert Christgau gave the album a C− rating, writing that Vanilla Ice's "suave sexism, fashionably male supremacist rather than dangerously obscene, is no worse than his suave beats".{{cite news |url=http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=Vanilla+Ice |title=Review of To the Extreme |access-date=2009-03-07 |last=Christgau |first=Robert |year=1990 |newspaper=The Village Voice}} Stephen Dalton from NME wrote, "To the Extreme is the highly competent debut from a major pop talent. Listen without prejudice." Select stated that the album "packs in just about every musical and lyrical code of rap, yet still says nothing" and that "Kids and neophytes have a right to love it, but grown-ups will find Vanilla Ice spectacularly hollow."{{cite magazine|magazine=Select|title=Reviews|last=Brown|first=Russell|page=73|date=February 1991}}

AllMusic reviewer Steve Huey wrote that:

Ice's mic technique is actually stronger and more nimble than MC Hammer's, and he really tries earnestly to show off the skills he does have. Unfortunately, even if he can keep a mid-tempo pace, his flow is rhythmically stiff, and his voice has an odd timbre; plus, he never seems sure of the proper accent to adopt. He's able to overcome those flaws somewhat in isolated moments, but they become all too apparent over the course of an entire album.

After audiences began to view Vanilla Ice as a novelty act, his popularity began to decline. He would later regain some success, attracting a new audience outside of the mainstream audience that had formerly accepted him, and then rejected him.{{cite news |title=Catching Up With...

To the Extreme was released in the US on September 10, 1990.

In Canada, the album peaked at the number one and was certified 6 times platinum and won the Best Selling Album by a Foreign Artist at To the Extreme at the 1992 June Awards.

The first version was released in 1989 by the independent record label Ichiban Records under the title Hooked. Vanilla Ice eventually signed to SBK Records, who reissued the album under its current name, To the Extreme, with some differences in the track list. To the Extreme contains all tracks from Hooked except for "Satisfaction", and six extra tracks: "Yo Vanilla", "Stop That Train", "Ice Is Workin' It", "Life Is a Fantasy" and "Juice to Get Loose Boy". "Havin' a Roni" was a hidden track on Hooked.{{Track listing
