Ice T Music And Acting | Rap

He debuted on his career in the 1980s as an underground rapper and was signed to Sire Records in 1987, releasing his debut album Rhyme Pays, which was ranked as the second hip-hop album to carry an explicit content sticker. He founded the record label Rhyme $yndicate Records (which is named after his collective of fellow hip-hop artists called the “Rhyme $yndicate”) and released another album, Power the following year.

He is the co-founder of the heavy metal band Body Count, which he introduced on his 1991 rap album Original Gangster(O.G.), on the track titled “Body Count”. In 1992, the band released their self-titled debut album. He experienced controversy over his track “Cop Killer”, which glamorized killing police officers. He requested to be released from his contract with Warner Bros. His next solo album, records, Home Invasion, was released later in February 1993 through Priority Records. In 1994, body Count’s next album was released, and in the late-1990s, he released two more albums.

He made his film debut in the motion pictures, Breakin’ of 1984, and its sequel, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo of 1985. Since 2000, he has acted NYPD Detective/Sergeant Odafin Tutuola on the NBC police drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

The show follows the couple, along with pet bulldog Spartacus, as they make their way through the Hollywood social scene. Coco, who has been the woman behind the man and the heart of the family’s brand in the first decade of the couple’s marriage, sets her sights on establishing her own career in entertainment while maintaining balance in her marriage.

Ice T In The Morning

“6 in the Mornin'” is his song which he released in 1986 as the B-side of “Dog ‘N the Wax (Ya Don’t Quit-Part II)”, the song is seen as one of the defining tracks of the gangsta rap genre. The song appeared on Ice T’s debut album, Rhyme Pays in 1987. The song is produced by Compton’s Most Wanted associate the Unknown DJ.

“12 PM,” from Ice T’s 1991 collection O.G. Unique Gangster, is a prequel of this tune. “12 PM” closes with the verse “Checked the time, it was six toward the beginning of the day,” and “6 in the Mornin'” opens with the verse, “Six in the first part of the day, police at my entryway.”

A variant of the melody was later recorded by the Tennessee horror core bunch Three 6 Mafia on its Chapter 2: World Domination collection, and was relevantly renamed “3-6 in the Mornin'” and highlights infrequent examples from the first.

In the narrative Hip-Hop Evolution, Ice-T clarifies that we was enlivened by the rapper Schoolly D and his tune P.S.K.

Ice T Interview

No Lives Matter: An Interview with Body Count’s Ice-T.

Source: consequenceofsound.net

I want to start by asking about “Civil War” because our country isn’t engaged in a literal civil war, but it sure as hell feels like it. How did that song come together, and how does it connect with the album as a whole?

This album was made during the election. During the past year or two, I’ve just noticed that if there ever was a divide in the United States, it’s become very obvious in the last couple of years, like during this whole election. We like to say the country is divided, but during the election, you really saw it. Now, Twitter is like a battlefield. People say one thing, and they just attack. And it’s crazy. I pretend like, What if this shit really happens? What if people went at each other? It’s kind of like a cautionary tale. OK, this can happen. If I can make it sound really real, like it really has happened, it might wake people up and say, “Hey, this is what we’re on the verge of.”

In a way, it’s like when I did “Cop Killer”. I was like “Yo, police, if y’all keep tripping, somebody may come after you. This can happen.” That’s more what it is. I wanted to set the tone and bring in the beginning of this record to where we are. We’re at this point where any infraction between the people can turn into some all-out war. And it might just happen in a small city. It could happen anywhere. So, that should get your mind right for the rest of the album. [Megadeth guitarist] Dave Mustaine is the first voice you hear on the record; he does the announcement.

What’s your take on our current political situation?

Right now, the big thing is Ben Carson. Ben Carson came out and said some dumb shit. Everybody took off on him. And then they said, “Well, Obama said the same shit” – but Obama is not a dumb fuck. This dude [Carson]’s been saying dumb shit for a long time. I saw him say some dumb shit during the election, where he referred to the Mexicans coming here and working for free. And I was like, that’s crazy, dude. What the fuck? There’s that feeling that black people are gonna vote for anybody black. No. No. No. All black people don’t like me. We want the best out of life and whoever’s gonna bring it to us. And that’s just like anybody else.

So, now everyone’s talking about him. But really they’re not talking about Trump, who’s over here, waist deep in shit over this election scandal. And he’s just, like, out of control. This motherfucker won’t even move to the White House! It’s like me becoming president and saying, “I just wanna stay in my crib. I like my Xbox, and I wanna go to All-Star weekend, and keep doing what I do – but i’m president!”

So, the world’s out of control. There’s a lot of bait and switch going on. “Watch this, while we do this.” And I’m singing at the top of my lungs, but everybody won’t buy this record. What I always hoped for is I wish I could really energize my old Body Count fans, ‘cuz we sold a couple million records back in the day. Just buy the record for nostalgia purposes! [Laughs]

In press releases, you’ve identified violence as a major theme of this record. “The Ski Mask Way” and “This Is Why We Ride” detail robberies and drive-bys.

It’s me saying, “Yo, this is who I really am.” I’m really familiar with the Ski Mask Way. That song is me saying, you motherfuckers are out here on social media — that’s more a song about social media. You’re flaunting … you know what happened to home girl in Paris. You’re showing it off. There are wolves out here. The bloodlust runs deep. And these cats, you’re giving everybody all this information to come rob you. I put myself in the hands of the robber, and his mentality is “I got no plans on you.” And that’s one of the elements of humanity. It’s always fun to play the bad guy.

“This Is Why We Ride” is me explaining the madness of the streets. It looks stupid [to the outside world], but this is revenge. You may have never had somebody kill your kid; you may have never had to watch your best friend bleed out; you DO want to go after them – and they do do it. As bad as that is, there’s a method to that madness. There’s a madness to the streets, but there’s a reason for it. And I think I’m one of the only people that can explain it. And I think that’s my duty.

Then there’s “Here I Go Again”, where you get inside the head of a serial killer. You’ve seen a lot of this happen on the street, but you’re also a dad and husband, and certainly not a serial killer. Is it ever difficult to write from that perspective?

No. I’m a weirdo; I’m a horror fan. This stuff is all around us. And, you know, I tell people, that’s my Stephen King side. How does fucking Stephen King write book after book after book of this shit? One of ‘em is OK. But this dude, he keeps coming with this shit. What’s he thinking about? I’m friends with Chris Barnes, who does Six Feet Under. I listened to one of his death metal records. I’m like, “Chris, it’s over. I don’t think you can spend the night at my house anymore. Like, the fuck?” I don’t know. On SVU, all these girls write all this crazy stuff; I look at them crazy, too. I’m like, “Yeah, OK.” Maybe I should be more like Rob Zombie and write some horror movies.

Where do you do most of your writing?

Well, when I do a Body Count album, first we write the music, and we write 15-20 instrumentals that could play without words. So, the songwriting is done with no words. Then they mix that into a two-track, and then it’s kind of like making a rap album. Cuz I have the track, and I sit up with a pad, and sometimes I do the hook. I do writing in my living room. I put the headphones on, and sometimes I get the hook first. This might sound like artist shit, even though I guess I am an artist — people hate it when you say it — but the music kind of tells me what the song is about. When you hear “Here I Go Again”, those licks, your brain goes, This is a horror movie. And it’s kind of a Crowbar-ish song; it’s really chunky. And when Max, from Soulfly and Sepultura, helped us do “All Love Is Lost” — that’s such a brutal record — you can’t really sing about I love my mother on it. It’s like, you’re mad. It lended to a song about someone who’s betrayed you. And I wrote an outline for a crazy video for that, too.

How did your collaborations with Mustaine, Blythe, and Cavalera come about? Have you been friends with them for a while?

Well, David [Mustaine] is the most interesting one. Way back in the day, I fucked with Megadeth, but I didn’t know David Mustaine by name. And he did an interview with some magazine in LA and asked for his five favorite albums. And he said “O.G., O.G., OG., O.G…” He named my record five times! And I met him, and he’s a cool guy; I learned his story, and we’ve just been friends. When we get ready to make these albums, everyone we’ve met in metal – whether it’s Henry Rollins or Duff [McKagan] from Guns N’ Roses, or all these different people that we’ve become friends with – say, “Hey, if you’re going in the studio, call us. Let us know. Come to a track.” And we never do it.

So, this year I said, “Fuck it. Call the motherfuckers! Let’s see what’s up.” We sent David “Civil War”. He came up with the idea to do the announcement. He did the craziest guitar solo on that record. Max [Cavalera], we bumped into him on the road — we opened up for Sepultura back in the day, when they played with Ministry – and he jumped on the record and actually brought some music to the sessions. And then Randy [Blythe] and [Body Count guitarist] Ernie C were in a program in LA and became friends. We rocked with Lamb of God in Montreal, and all these people really stood by their word. When we called them, they were like, “Whatever, send me the track.”

Fortunately, nowadays, you don’t have to be in the same place. You send the track, and they lay the track. So, we didn’t record physically in the same room. But it doesn’t matter, because with people like that, they’re on your record. They’re not only helping the record. They’re co-signing to their fans. And we’re co-signing them to our fans. People might say, “Oh, I don’t think they’re cool. Oh, they fuck with Body Count? Alright, cool, cool.” When we worked with Slayer, a lot of people thought Slayer was racist. And they shut that down by having a song with me, right?
