kyle austin agreed. RIP for a career criminal who had been in prison 9 times & at the time he was arrested had Meth & Fen in system. The police officer was out of order & killed him & will go to prison But don't make him out to me a martyred saint because he wasn't.
@@markclapp7111 not sure I've heard anyone call him a saint. The whole point is his murder brought awareness to other similar, unjust, extrajudicial executions of other black people by the police. But no human is a saint and anyone calling him that is very misguided. But his death did wake a lot of people up to what's been going on for a long time. Maybe he's broken the law and been in jail, but that has absolutely no relevance in this conversation. If he pulled out a gun and attacked them, maybe. Instead he got executed for being black.
Probably one of their more Punk sounding stuff?! This is the only thing that ever came out since '77 that rivals the Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bullocks! Nothing else can touch this song!
Ernie C and Rocky George (formerly of Suicidal Tendencies) have GOT to be two of the most underrated guitarists in metal....from two of the most underrated kickass bands.
I still have the original cassette too, I remember after the album rage died down I was in Holland in 1993 and the was Bodycount shit everywhere in the music stores there.
Crazy. I remember way back in the day when their debut came out and the uproar that Cop Killer created. The copy of the debut I had did not have Cop Killer on it, but the track Freedom of Speech. My ex-brother in law, his copy on cassette, did have Cop Killer on it and he still has it somewhere. While i have loved almost every album Ice T has put out, Body Count, in my opinion, is so much better than stuff he put out solo. His delivery of his lines, his rapping ability, is made for metal and I love it
Mixes punk, rock, metal, rap, all kinds of shit, also differs per song, but who cares, good stuff is good stuff, and while i don't always like the mixing, is usually like their stuff, latest album is really good, sounds more mature too.
Yep. They're subhuman waste. Pathetic, talentless, dorky, sadistic, thieving tools of the inbred rulership. Time to remove them by removing their masters. More of us than there are of them by a llllooonngg a s s shot. :)
@@pastoraldoklein7539 why hate ? Is like saying forgive the German nazi, you haven't been victimized by police before, have you ? police destroyed my life before it began, my crime was being a teenager in a particular UK city in the 80s.
1992... i was 14 years old, european and white and this track kicked my ass. ICE-T i thank you for all the really good memorys and this dumbass track! Your are a Legend!
i was 11 when i first watched this. it heavily influenced me to get into rock nowadays as i use to listen to mainly hip hop. i remember being amazed by the guitars, still am today
For the American audience: This performance was quite exhilarating for the Dutch crowd, as saying 'fuck the police' in the Netherlands is illegal and can get you fined. Even wearing a tshirt with "ACAB" on it is an offence for 'insulting an on-duty officer'. So much for freedom of speech...
@@aidan8328 America is so much less free than the Netherlands, from everybody having access to good, free at point of use health care services, to the vastly lower number of people living below the poverty line. All they need to do is write better freedom of speech into their Constitution, and they'll be way, way ahead of us. Also, you might be able to get away with saying "Fuck Police!" in America, but let you say it to a cops face, you'll be setting them up to get away with your assault or murder just as easily.
Saw these probably 20 years ago in Wolverhampton. No one thought that they would play this. They did.. last song. I missed the bus and ended up walking home in the snow...
One of the best songs of all time. But could this audience be any more shocked and still? SMH. Thank you Ice and Lil Ice. Ernie-C in the place to be! Thank you all for the years of inspiring music and truth.
Still got this on tape, sorry I didn't pick it up on CD, it was on the shelf... Seeing the way the cops persecute people even today its still a relevant song...
I love Ice-T and Body Count. It's just funny and ironic he's spent a majority of his career and made alot of his money portraying cops in movies and tv lol
Who else had no idea that cop killer is a punk song until they heard it the first time? I always assumed cop killer was hip hop but i never actually listened to it for years
