Greetings Azizi,

I haven't been able to document the "Ice Ice Baby" chant pre-1990. Have you been able to find someone that learned the chant pre-1990 ?

In keeping with the Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. theme of being "cold", here's an example of their signature chant "Ice Ice Baby"

ICE ICE BABY
Ice ice baby,
too cold too cold.
Ice ice baby,
The black and gold
-various sources

-snip-
The "black and gold" refers to Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc.'s colors.

One reason why the White rapper Vanilla Ice was not respected by a lot of African Americans was the fact that he took the "Ice Ice Baby" saying from the Alphas.
