Indeed

Stefon... Man I love you guys 😎

[@LibertySpam]

My favorite band, since 89

[@mikeoxlong8272]

RIP Vic Wilson. .. I was in a heavy metal band that used to cover colors...I got a copy that I think Tracy would like to hear. It would be perfect for the B.C. project.

[@jayjaybee]

“I never knew Ice-T was a rapper.” Ouch-you’re making me feel old. And yeah, this was VERY controversial. I remember Carlton Heston (then president of the NRA) doing a reading of the lyrics. And yes it did get banned in the US.

[@tongbb3]

It did not get banned in the USA. Ice-T chose to pull it from the CD and gave away free copies instead. Wanted to eliminate the controversy with his label.

[@randywissler9923]

I do remember Walmart and Kmart banned the album at their stores.

[@jonsummerville9022]

I've got a first print of the CD with both Ice T and Heston's autographs...got both signatures on the jewel case...Heston first and the reaction of my fellow alumni from the Ft Benning School for Wayward Boys was hilarious 😉

[@YTWanderer]

Should have become the national anthem instead.

[@tyruskelebon6917]

Some other people in movies and tv that rap (just in case you didn’t know) Will Smith , LL CoolJ, .50cent and in a semi related category.. Mark and Donnie Walhberg.

[@michaelbaldwin8484]

Check out "There Goes the Neighborhood" or "Black Hoodie" And as a solo rapper "6 In The Mornin' " or "Colors". Gangsta rap before NWA

[@armlegx]

6 In The Mornin'!

Ice T was rapping before He formed the rap metal band Body Count. React to Ice T - 6 in the morning It was my favorite by him. Before Body Count

[@MrDeadstu]

This is actually Ice-T's rap/metal band - Body Count. If you wanna hear his crime rhyme days, his break out hit was "6 N the mornin' " - it's early, but ground breaking. I would recommend "Lethal Weapon" , "Midnight" , "O.G. - Original Gangster" , or "Freedom of Speech" and there is a lot more. I saw him on the Iceberg tour in '89, Ice-T is a modern-day philosopher.

[@jpsghost150]

Need to listen to the whole Ice -T "Home Invasion" album..solid top to bottom including one of the best intros ever

[@shawnhorror2522]

Whoop Whoop fam 👊

[@Gavin-Leo--uk]

That intro got stolen and used at rave parties in the UK in 90s. I remember thinking why am I hearing Ice at this. Then thought oh dam they stole that intro to kick off some music.

[@MrKingGlock]

They play this on radio evry day at 8:00 when prisonguards open the celldors in the mornings

[@motorcitymaniac167]

I bought the CD before it was banned by the President George Bush

[@mopho4813]

Same here.

[@BrooklynGreg718]

I have it on cassette with the original album art.

[@iamlesleyfisher3996]

I am just now seeing this video in July 2020 so this is a late comment. I am lucky enough to have an original release with the album cover with the original artwork with the "Cop Killer" tattoo across the stomach. As you and others have said, there was lots of controversy, lawsuits, the record label pulled the album and re-released it with out the "Cop killer" tattoo. Ironic how this is 2020 and we still have these same issues.

Song was not banned. Ice-T chose to pull it and gave away free singles in response at shows.

[@purplebeard1526]

You didn't know Ice T was a rapper? Damn. He was one of the founding rappers of the West Coast Gangster Rap scene. If you go back and listen to his rap stuff, he's pretty good, and always points out that you need education so you don't become a sucker in the streets. And, also he sampled and used a lot of metal/rock stuff in his rap songs so when he went full out with a metal band, and it was actually good, he took it to a different level. Honestly, I think he did better work with Body Count than his solo rap stuff LOL. Body Count has a new album out in March.

[@johngillespie3409]

Carnivore is a sick fucking album

[@beastmode8985]

This song stirred one hell of a controversy. The president himself came out and banned the album until they released a version without this song. My memory is a bit foggy, but I'm pretty sure this album also started the whole "Parental Advisory" stickers on albums.

[@magus_211]

He put gangsta rap on the map, before NWA. React to Colors, Squeeze the trigger or High Rollers

[@tidewell]

This song was actually banned when it first came out. Sparked a lot of 1st amendment controversy

[@AgentLemmon]

i remember even the album cover was cencored. The chest tattoo was changed from cop killer to body count. Luckily at the time when i bought the album, i lived in a country where the song was included on the album with the origianal album cover

[@bobbythies8892]

COLORS! ice ts most famous song!

Gotta check out the whole album.. Body count is the shit🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻👍👍

[@MrUnknowne187]

Definitely check out “Black Hoodie” from Body Count.. it’s one of their most recent tracks. as far as some Ice-T rap tracks, check out: “New Jack Hustler” “You Played Yourself” “High Rollers” “Ricochet” “Original Gangster” “Power” “99 Problems”

[@phoenixmarizzle5059]

trespass with Ice Cube was the shit

[@christophersims3319]

The OGLP is one of the greatest rap records of all time.

You got to listen to colors by Ice -t He's an og man

[@karaminalee]

Ahmad, just for fun, you should watch the 1984 movie Breakin’. It’s fun as hell, all about poppin’ and locking and breakdancing! Ice-T is the MC in the club. And the fantastic 1983 documentary Breakin’ n Enterin’, also with Ice-T. Both about the hip hop dance and music scene.

[@user-mp8cb3gx2m]

Ice t is one of the reasons u guys get to enjoy rap

[@randywissler9923]

It don't get more OG rapper than Ice T!!!! And in all the years KZbin has been around, this is only the 2nd reaction I've ever found for this song.

[@duaneglaze7229]

I saw them in KC, great show!

[@Obitvary]

Body Count is so sick. They have a Raining in Blood, Slayer cover, video that's tight. You've been reacting to a few metal/rock videos, if you want to see something really wild check out some Hardcore bands. Jesus Piece set at This Is Hardcore last year was insane. If you want a glimpse into underground heavy music that set would be a good place to start, but all of the videos on Hate5six's KZbin channel are straight fire. Hardcore starter pack: Jesus Piece Terror Regulate Year of The Knife

[@markcain5965]

it was banned best time era for music rage against the machine body count cypress hill miss those days lol

Which episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit was this song featured in?

[@raymckean1035]

This song was banned. They had to pull all unsold copies off the shelf and rerelease it without this song. This song was in response to the Rodney King trial and riots.

[@ruaterea1122]

like how this brother is headbanging to dope az metal! black metal son!

[@KainiusTheGreat]

"I know your family's grieviiiiiiiiiiiiin'......fk'em" One of the most badass metal lines ever. I know this vid is a year old so this is a postmortem comment but it's so cool to see you enjoying this! As a near 40 year old man, I remember the controversy around this song. It got banned from being put on any album (it was supposed to be on a Batman movie soundtrack!). I recommend two things: 1) Listen to Ice-T's hip-hop albums for fk's sake (one of the OG gangster rappers!) and 2) Listen to the rest of this album (it's self titled, Body Count) just be aware, if you're sensitive to any use of the N-Bomb then skip it. A lot of the views he has one the album are more issues in his own head (like blacks not being welcome in heavy music.....false back then too) but most of it is a sick commentary on the issues back in that day. Metal is cool like that....we can say whatever we want (seriously, anything, no matter how offensive or illegal) and it doesn't get taken out of context by the community (most of the time).

[@listershat]

He's been rapping since the early 80's. I remember him in the Breakin' movies with Chris "the Glove" Taylor. Still have most of Ice's stuff on vinyl / vhs. Saw the Rhyme Syndicate tour in '91, (Hijack & Donald D were awesome). Yes I'm old, but it's worth it. ;)

[@glenfisher6396]

The song was banned here in Canada and rereleased without it. Ice-t put freedom of speech in it's place. I was lucky I got the cassette early

[@thefnaffan2]

As a white dude. I approve this message. FTP They did pressure the record company to take it off, when they first put this album out, it was on it, the second batch the song wasn't on it.

[@alexm2930]

Thus song 8s so f7cking good. A big song in the backyard punk rock shows.

[@elbruces]

Okay but this a song by the band Body Count. Ice-T is the lead vocalist. They're a heavy metal / thrash band, although everybody blamed rap for this song back then. This is clearly a metal song, but the news kept leading with "is rap music too violent" and then talking about this song. Ice-T isn't just a rapper, he's one of the OG's. You have to check out more of his older stuff. In fact, his song "O.G. Original Gangster" would be a good reaction next.

[@timbrawdy2249]

Yessss

[@rwbranger62]

They banned this song for years . Listen to IceT doing the cover of the song ( Colours ) or his band body count , Mommas gotta die tonight is a brilliant song aswell

[@gregortega6547]

not only a rapper but also a break dancer! (not very good) and basic street hustler lol..but 1st time I saw him was documentary called "breakin and enterin" around 1985? definitely check it out if you are interested in seeing the early L.A rap/dance scene it's pretty dope. Boogaloo Shrimp just killing it in that movie!

[@louismartin4106]

[@ciscosilva602]

Check out institutionalized by body count. The song and video is funny...

OOOOOOOOOHH He got the lil ski mask awwwww! Bahahahaha!

[@Thundaarr]

I find it ironic the one who sang "cop killer" now is more known for portraying a cop on TV. Check out "new jack hustler", it contains one of the greatest lines ever, "all I want is my dope and dead presidents"

[@krypticeye2126]

I bought this when it came out, so it still had the Cop Killer track on it (metal head, so had long hair, still do), was blasting this out of my gold w/white top 1977 Cutlass Supreme Fastback (very muscle looking car at the time, also with dual exhaust glass packs, so the thing rumbled just sitting there) with the windows down. See cops pulling up next to me at a red light out of the corner of my eye during the 'Fuck The Police!' chant ... well you kinda just turn that waay down and slowly look over. They are both looking at me, I just grinned and shrugged my shoulders and went back to a face front. This was in suburban Minnesota and thankfully I was a white guy (sorry guys). They looked at each other, back at me and just went on their way and yes, I let them get ahead of me. LAPD my not have been so chill regardless of the flesh tone. ;) Still one of my favorite metal bands!

[@peterarmstrong6928]

Baseline,,AWESOME 👏👏👏

[@chrisno420]

You ever check out his song I’m your pusher? That’s that classic 🔥 song

[@uncle_thulhu]

It's f*cking hilarious. When he was a musician, he was a cop's worst nightmare, but almost every role he's played as an actor (even as a mutant kangaroo) has been a cop...

[@GabiRuta]

[@patiam1969]

You can also look up the original 99 problems that Ice-t wrote. It’s recorded by Bodycount

[@cactaceous]

Dude, Ice T is one of the fucking OG gangsta rappers ever! Even I knew that!

[@uncle_thulhu]

When this track dropped in '91 (I think), the entire fucking western world went insane. Any Australians here who were around at that time? Remember when the D-Gen Late Show parodied this song? That's how far this song got. Other side of the fucking world.

[@Tools_Tips_How-to]

Ice-T is real Og. 6 in the mornin

[@RossBayCult]

Ice T got a lot of shit for this song. Still does. But in the early 90’s all the politicians and actors were talking shit about Ice T and Body Count. But on the low, metal heads were into Body Count. This song goes hard. It’s a banger. A controversial banger.

[@stillbulletbrad]

They did take this song off the album in stores. Replaced it with one of Ice Ts old rap tracks

[@Maybe2348]

[@KtotheG]

How did they react to this? Well, they tried to cancel him and get him dropped from his label. It was banned from radio and even from some record stores. The politicians, the police, the church, the parents, the grandmothers, etc... none of them liked this song. They all came out in full force against this one. What NWA went through is mild considering what Ice T went through when he released this song.

[@John-qf6dw]

Bahahahaha as a 40 year old white guy from Australia I remember hearing the OG album in 1995. 1st rap album and was already a metal head. Had the body count song on it. My introduction to rap and body count

[@mikeburns9227]

Yooo Ahmad Freedom of speech but watch what u say..... Google it....Ice T it’s crazy old

[@uncle_thulhu]

Oh yeah, this song got banhammered SO hard. Not just in LA, nationwide. It came out just after the Rodney King assault.

[@onequickthing8950]

He wasn't a rapper, he was punk/hard core. He did Colors, which cemented his OG natural status, but that came later. The movie is awesome, by the way. You kids don't have colors these days, do you? Probably don't even know what that means. The only colors I see anymore are on old men. It's like, brother, new jack city was a long time ago.

[@eduardohere3706]

Oh yea! There was a lot of controversy behind this song. Those cops earned that hate though.

[@fernandoramoa7079]

this is a good opportunity to point out the gross way in which today's pop music inserts cursing here and there just for the sake of it. You hear the most mellow of melodies and all of the sudden you hear fucking this fucking that, bringing the song down to being vulgar or even ridiculous, perhaps under the desperation of "making something new". Music is math, and as such, nothing is worse than entering at the wrong time/place. Cursing is aggression. You wanna use it right. You want a target, you don't just shoot for the sake of it. lce T is an example

[@IkitKlaw]

check out Ice-T - Straight up Nigga

[@davidbrock2450]

They (US government/ record company) removed this song fron the 2nd pressing of the album. Another great song from this Album you should listen to is KKK Bitch. Oh, I'm a 57 yr old white guy from Canada that hates the police as much as Black people (no offence meant if that term offends you) and natvive aborrigional people of NA who have suffered the worst in North America.

[@matt1980]

this track was in fact banned from the cd

[@rickywood2369]

It's a Body Count song, Ice T is just the singer, he now prefers his METAL band to his own Rap/hip hop old school stuff, he just does his Metal stuff now with his band Body Count..

[@jammanastic]

This did get banned they had to reissue the album without this song and ironicly enough instead of this song there was a song called freedom of speach.

[@michaelpizarro2219]

It was banned bigtime back in '92. President Bush bought it up in a speach for Christ's sake! They all missed the point though. IT WAS A PROTEST SONG 90's style! Unlike the kumbaya protest songs of the 60's, this one had balls and teeth. I remember sitting on my porch with a cam corder recording cops have young Chicano kids with they're faces in the pavement while they searched their cars illegaly. Their crime? DWB driving while brown (it was hella worse for blacks). Btw, police brutality was worse then. Nowadays with social media a few cases a year get blown out of proportion. Rodney Kings beating caught on tape changed all that back then. And CNN running it 24 a day put a much needed spotlight on it. I wore the shit outta my Cop Killer tee back then.🤘🇺🇲🤘

[@jessemorrow9711]
