A threesome of “rappers” from Toccoa, Georgia, (pop. >9000) posted their pics on the legendary Geocities site http://www.geocities.com/icyhotstuntazz/ in 2001 in a attempt to gain world-renowned fame.
“The Icy Hot Stuntaz” were Ricky Hedd AKA “Blade”, Brian Edmonds AKA “Da Flame” and Eric Dean AKA “Freeze.”
The site mostly consisted of pictures of the three, posing with fake glimmers on fake bling, throwing up fake gang signs. The site was ripe for parody, and mirrors of the site soon appeared all over the internet, sometimes including parodies of their songs, making it difficult to discern which songs were created by the Stuntaz and which were created by those parodying them.
Although Blade and Freeze left the trio around 2001, Brian Edmonds is still pursuing his music career under then name B-Shoc.
Today, interest in “The Icy Hot Stuntaz” has all but disappered, as can be seen from Google Trends.
