Cop Killer

This is a live version of Cop Killer by Ice-T & Body Count. They were in New York City August 14, 1991. I love Ice-T... he's my idol and the sexiest man on the planet!

[@danielputzerjr.9315]

Since we now live in a police state, this should become the people's new national anthem. I don't rise or put my hand on my heart for patriotic bs anymore but I would for this song.

I saw the original Lollapalloza in Raleigh. Body Count hadn't put out there first album yet, so most of the crowd didin't know anything about them. Came out at the end of Ice-T's set and did Body Count(which some of us had heard on Ice-T's new album) and Cop Killer(which nobody had heard at the time). Brought the house down. still the most feroscous pit I've ever seen.

[@cars966]

I respect this music...i always admired them, that Is the music within & the politics that drives & creates such excellence etc.

[@jamesaburke7]

Rick James RIP, a member of the early 60's band the Myna Birds. The Band was also one of Neil Young's earliest. I know the first time that I read that, I was also scratching my head ... Still Rick James & Neil Young were once band mates.

[@rudibrans8484]

nice gesture from Body Count to play some background music to the bouncer's show!

[@cdanteg67]

I saw these guys open for GNR and Metallica in '92 in Oakland. They kicked arse! And during their set, they had two bodyguards with sawed-offs standing on each end of the stage! Awesome!

[@JorgeGeorgeD]

Just in case the bouncer got out of control.

[@theonlytruepunk]

Ernie is a badass guitarist. He looks likes he's diggin it too. Great song, great band.

[@TAG037]

Ice-T sold out! He went from being a Cop Killer to playing a cop on TV, i'm convinced the producers have never heard this song.

[@macdorfingfyrslf]

That makes the perfect cop!!!

[@Pentagonshark666]

This is a perfect proof,why Ice-T is a real legend.RIP Body Count,some members from there a dead for now.

[@greatone2008]

yo i remember this when it first came out... it caught so much media attention

[@Traductus5972]

I like how in an interveiw that one of his favorite bands was slayer

[@morganaster7]

I just LOOOOVVVEEEEEEEEEEE ICE-T

[@rightbrigade92]

These were the days. Long live BC!

[@jgvv]

Finally! a live clip of this song...thanks for posting it!

[@antifa0gnwp]

great band and gread song

[@eddiemi]

Ice-T and Henry Rollins were both part of the original Lollapalloza. Use to lift weights together back then.

[@Tommick7]

noureldin140: it's mix of rap and rock called rapcore. Ice-T was in Body Count, they were doin rapcore :)

[@RembranTcg]

hahaha hard core Ice-T great,absolutely great

[@martymars]

This song rules.

[@mikey777799]

Great upload!

[@JohnnyWarren]

see another reason why ice t's a pioneer he was partying like a rock star way before them shop boys

[@NukeHavok]

Ice T, Henry Rollins and Body Count Rock

[@6969cobra]

I luv it I just it came width subtitles

[@StOscar]

I find it funny that this song is always credited as rap. This is good old vintage punk. The kind of angry stuff that must have made Johnny Rotten proud.

[@kondzioresos]

Body Count forever

[@acidblood69]

one hell of an artist and gangster lol!

[@DontHateOnDonnie]

im not a big punk fan, but i love ice t's originality in this song

[@jdotglenn]

Oh, no wonder I've never heard this song before. It sucks to high heaven.

[@NoPawn]

I want to find this full video. I was right there at the front of the stage. There was a small add in the Village Voice that said Body Count was playing. $15. Me and my boy got off work and went straight there. Chuck D and Eddie from Leeway was there too.

[@vailent2k]

memory lane

[@eddiemoon]

HELL YEAH BODY COUNTS IN DA HOUSE!!!

[@CruelMariachi]

ahh, this kneeling thing, watching to the ground, one foot front one foot back stance.... - yeah! Thanks :)=

[@LORDLHUSMUSIC]

i would of killed to be there!!!!

[@xshredgex]

i like how Ice T raved that Body Count was a hardcore band, yet theres security guards waiting to throw people away when kids try to stage dive or get anywhere the mic. yeah, real genuine hardcore.......

[@richdogg626]

[@wizeguy26]

this had to be wild lol i still remember this on the news

[@jgvv]

[@atzewellblech74]

how aggressive... wonderful

[@zombi80]

ICE-T is a cop in a tv-serie

[@dragonfitter]

he was hanging out with the boys from rage against the machine at this time and i think he went through a metalhead stage

[@antifa0gnwp]

your right man!!!!

[@ZeroSystem100]

Metal with Ice-T and a song about the fucking police? Awesome!

[@Jibby20]

Man that massive bouncer is awesome. Watch him knock back those dudes trying to climb on stage. Hes the size of a small country. What class!

[@myaturney]

ice t's best work was this band man.i thought he had found his place.the album was actually listenable

[@DannyD1199]

Body Count was the fuckin shit. Awesome sound.

[@hirschmarie]

[@clickwatchers]

THIS IS MY F-CKIN THEME SONG!!!

[@krunkghost]

if you look closely, theres a dude trying to run on stage and jump into a mosh pit, but the big security guy threw him miles back into the crowd~~

[@Faternbader]

He Is in Law and Order!

[@GoldenGateNum9]

that bouncer means business

[@pitbullgirl65]

IceT is hot. My friends are horrified at my weird taste. :D Damn good band and song

[@cmm98]

dude is that d rock without the mask...?? RIP OG awesome guitarist he was...

[@th1337]

The fact that he plays a cop on SVU isn't a double standard. This song is about brutal, murderous, racist cops. The charactr he plays is a god cop. Same message, different perspectives, different sides of the same coin. Props to him for having the balls to say it.

[@TheChristiBlack]

This dude is on Law and Order SVU now

[@kramis]

From Cop Killer to Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Aaaahhh - - the sweet smell of irony...

[@cheezytacos]

How long have you been listening to Ice T...because he's been doing rock and rap really well for a long time

[@DiamorphineDeath]

im gonna do my henry rollins hahaha. Love ice t, dudes tight as fuck

[@80sunshower]

It's heavy metal! I'm so surprised.

[@dctaco]

Jello Biafra (of Dead Kennedys) has said that Cop Killer was one of the best punk songs ever written. And Body Count has said that they set out just to be a great ounk band (like Dead Kennedys.) Arguing over labels is pointless as punk is an attitude, and this my friends, is punk rock.

[@rigormortiiis]

Minstrel shows have come a LOOONG way. Hail MLK \m/

[@nikospapoulias1]

Two cops were standing on the stage,but nobody from the audience seemed to be annoyed by that fact...

[@redkefka]

we'd be lost

[@loserbrett]

The dissection that you speak of is simply how music is catagorized by the industry. The industry can't simply market "Music" to everyone and think it will stick. So, they create different styles out of certain trends and market it towards the demographic that they see at the shows. It's not something that we just made up. It's something they just made up. It's just become a part of the industry. Don't like it? Take it up with them.

[@antipatriotmissile]

ice t

[@Neeks4215]

it's funny how ice t is on law and order as a cop now

[@Frank074]

Ernie-C is still alive! D-Roc (The Executioner), who used to wear a hockey mask is the one you mean. Mooseman & Beatmaster V are also dead by the way.

[@r0ckstar666]

yeah, law and order

[@hardlines4]

I want to hear the song THUG KILLER!

[@jhendrix7911]

yeah cuz if u notice he was acting like henry rollins when he was explaining the song or w/e

[@ruppel1968]

Now he´s one of them...i´m not sure about him...Body Count was surely his best time...what is he now...what is he showing???

[@zloynekit]

YEAH REAL PUNK ROCK

[@vislandbud]

hey ice t an his long hair was rocknfuckn out there eh henry rollins style

[@misterrosewater]

@Oi325 I don't think Bad Brains and Body Count are necessarily in the same category. BB were Rasta.

[@AndreCarrington013]

this is the REAL FUCKING hardcore : )

[@Runny452]

This song should be in guitar hero 3 ;)

[@KillYourTeeVee]

body count, body count.... body count, body count

[@SalaminizerVanski]

2:30 -- Is that D-Roc playing without his Jason mask??!!

[@TheGuinnessboys]

he should have just kept going with this. would have been a good punk band.

[@smurfman95]

GOD DAMN i wouldnt fuck with their security lol tht guys a beast!

Don't you mean the ultimate, and at/of/from every concert?

[@Flux_One]

those bouncers are fuckin huge. doing a proper job too. the white dude reminds me of the Ultimate Warrior, without the lip gloss! I love it when he picks the dude up at about 3:52. Hilarious.

[@TheDarkHorse90]

I'm sure they were at CBGBs

[@GodWeenSatan]

@yamiam91 What about jimi hendrix, chuck berry or john lee hooker, even living color the all black band plus many others?
