Both "artists" are intertwined in an early 90s phenomenon called "The Dual Rip-Off". See, both "Ice Ice Baby" and "Can't Touch This" basically rip off much better songs ("Under Pressure" and "Superfreak," respectively) and both "artists" were never able to match the success of their break out hit.
My theory is that the only reason either of them had any success was because they basically re-released a song that had already been a hit. All they had to do was add lame vocals over the tried-and-true music of Queen and David Bowie and a hit was born.
Come to think of it, that's not a bad idea...:evilgrin:
