@@KenMabie lmao... stupid and dumb thing to say in my opinion. what an ignorant response ... learn more ken before you open your mouth about things you obviously know little to nothing about....
I remember this song being at the center of a lot of controversy in the 90's around the dangerous messages embedded in hip-hop. Which leads me to believe that none of the people in that debate actually ever listened to it, because this is straight up speed metal.
My guess (as someone who wasnt even alive at the time) is that musically illiterate people saw a black guy make a song about killing cops and assumes it was hip hop
there's truth to that. But, he was well known. The OG of gangsta rap when he formed bodycount. He took two forms of music that were heavily under attack by supporters of censorship and successfully combined them, double his fan base.
That woulda been nice... But you know they not tryna let this joint shine mainstream. Shoot, Spotify got this WHOLE album, but this song's missing. Ice T somewhere saying, "Don't be a pxssy!" I know it.
Ice was really pretty brave, artistically, to cross into punk. But what allot of people don't know is that punks and rappers frequently lived and hung out together in the same areas, so it's really not surprising to see overlap between them. He was accused of selling out by people who don't know this. In reality, he never sold out with his music and certainly nowhere near like some of the RnB crowd do now :P
I remember having to get a copied cassette of Bodycount, cause the album was banned for sale in the U.S.. In a way this album is just as American as internet porn & apple pie. Gotta love the early 90's. Our country's rebellious teenage years.
not very fair to chalk art that comes from oppressed communities as teenage rebellion because its definitely more than that especially for people who have experienced it firsthand.
Andrew Hansen now theyre just virtue signaling pandering bullshit garbage. The 90’s was the last bastion of true expression, rawness and aggression. Now its tight pants wearing tools being emo with a keyboard and everyone is a pussy
They will play that song on the day that they tear down the Robert Oppenheimer statue and replace it with the leader of the Yamaguchi Gumi Yakuza gang to be a hero because he hired black men to be hitmen to kill cops and they will also put The Black Iceman and Kenichi Shinoda so they will yell heros, heros, heros, because they are cop killers. They will say that The Black Iceman is a real hero because he kill cops.
It’s beautiful to see the protests went international! Canada stands with you in solidarity, as well as seeking our own justice! Justice for Regis Korchinski-Paquet!
Canada has fallen and gone to the pot. Nothing but DEMONs running that country as in the U.S. You people have lost your minds! You've traded good for evil@@heightsofsagarmatha
@@aveyovo2813 Jesus, calm down there brother, he was simply talking about the irony. At least T plays a good cop, and not a prick cowboy harassing innocents or low level drug users.
Myself and 3 other Police Officers were assigned protection duty for him at a concert when this was a big song. Shook our hands, thanked us and made sure to tell us it was meant specifically at certain places and cops. Actually was a helluva nice guy compared too some politicians and "stars" who thought we were servants instead of there to them alive.
so what you're saying is that he says one thing and does another? i almost respected him. fuck cops. fuck people who think they can cash in on police brutality and the reactions to it. fuck you, a cop, and fuck him, a cop supporter.
I'm here calling Car Shield, axing them dummies how they can put a cop killer song musician as their representative. They act like day didn no wut I wuz talkin bout@@cappuchinofonzarelli537
What I like about the 90s is that musicians did what they liked wherever were the genre. They didn't give a shit and that's why some conservative people disses them
@@elonquemattheson6151 is there even a word to describe how stupid you are if you actually think anti-Brutality mob avtually has any interest in raiding any random nobody's house ?. probably not, hell your probably the kind that special pleads on behalf of the cop when he slugs a homeless guy in the nose for walking to a public bathroom with the intent of putting it to its intended use.
This got the free concert in Manchester shut down in 1996 me and my house mate Rob Grey went to that gig. Hope he is doing well. Miss you Rob. And you know this mannnn!
He'll no, he's a fake ass whore for Hollywood and tv just like all actors and other famous people who use their influences to endors and sell products for shady corporation's while flooding the airways with pure BS marketing while people are trying to watch TV shows between their highly repetitive commercials.
The version of the album with this on it needs an official re-press on LP! With a caring audio engineer to spearhead it, too. Unfortunately, at this point the biggest hurdle for that might be Ice-T himself. He's kinda stopped defending the song, saying that it no longer reflects him, etc...
talking bout how you was on your way to being an electrical engineer even though you made straight F's all the way through school. How close I am little Rayshawn?
Its funny how were still fighting and killing each other when the real enemy wears a badge a suit and tie drives a Ferrari and bangs his secretary while the wife is home taking care of the kids and making sure dinner is cooked and ready theyre the real enemy's
I've been saying we should burn it all down. Capitalism is at the heart of this issue, kill em all and see if we can start fresh and if now, well "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees" End this failing empire on our terms, bring the proletariat back up and kill off all the capitalists that won't assimilate. This is exactly how capitalism came to be, it works
Truth I’ve been telling people this for the last 10 to 15 years now we need to stop fighting each other and start fighting the police because they are the real enemy of human beings notice I did not bring up anybody’s race we’re just all human
@@seanm7539 ✊ facts crazy how they get away with so much cuz of that badge but God forbid we made a decision that we feel like might benefit us and our families but if it's not how the state says it should be you are now criminalized you can't even sell fruits you grow without being penalized if the states not taxing it it's crazy world we live in
One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
And his own people resented him for it,and threatened to tell on him.He went ahead with the Lord,though.Still got resentment,but the Lord gave him peace of mind.He wasn't perfect,none of us are,but he just went on ahead,making mistakes and loving the Lord.Moses is a real one.
Memorial Day 2022 in wake of the recent lack of police courage and leadership that killed 21 people, 19 of them little kids, this song should be played everywhere. I think I'll post it to my timeline.
Farns Worth Which means they could have gotten away with more crime. Does anyone remember serial killers? Yeah me neither because they hardly exist anymore due to technology
I love how he explicitly calls out the bad cops beforehand, not the entire force. Yet they still bitched about it. I've met some geniunely good police who want to protect and serve. But for those C student cowboys? Yeah, this song's for them.
I definitely didn't understand the point of this song when I was younger. you're just going to kill some good guys because you think it's cool to be a bad guy? but now I realize it's about people rising up against oppression and taking justice for themselves when the system that is supposed to work for them fails them. over and over
Funny thing is... My friends and I listened to this song in our youth in suburbia... Now they all got bell door cameras and alerts..... Hoping the popo get there soon 😏☺️🤭😝🤣
It’s fucking crazy cause my older brother played a bunch of different songs from different genres that I love. Ac/dc, slayer, NWA, weird al, Molly Crue, the cure, misfits, flobots, Elvis, Johnny cash, cypress hill, Tres delinquentes, Frank Sinatra, Vicente Fernandez, ICP but I have never ever ever ever ever ever ever heard Ice-T in the band called Body Count and holy fucking shit did this just blew my fucking mind. Like WTF! The motha fucking OG himself ICE-T in a band that sounds hardcore punk! Thank you.
I read he was audited by the IRS as form of intimidation by the government because of this song. The cops also messed with his then middle school aged daughter because of it.
