W.T.F. (Wisdom, Tenacity and Focus), also known as W.T.F. or just WTF, is the sixth studio album by American rapper Robert Van Winkle, known as Vanilla Ice. Scheduled for a 2009 release, it was officially released as a digital download on August 30, 2011, through Radium Records, executive produced by Vanilla Ice, Nick DeTomaso and Mark Mehwald.

In contrast to some previous releases by Van Winkle, the album included notable active collaborators Cowboy Troy and the Insane Clown Posse, both artists that Van Winkle has been an open fan of. It also includes songs with a variety of genre influences, ranging from straightforward hip hop to rap rock to country music and others. The album sold just 1,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Music.[1]
