Ice T always dropping gems, a real O.G and a great interview‼️

[@luie92114]

Yeah agree, I can listen to him and every time he says some dope shit!!

[@CrAck-MoNey]

This is real world knowledge he's dropping. Much respect to Ice T! Also that Grammy performance was definitely something special to the world of music. I'm raising my glass to two of the most 100% real people in this industry right now!

[@khrashingphantom9632]

It can NEVER be overstated how influential and prolific Ice-T is as an artist in general but ESPECIALLY in Hip Hop. I'm glad he's doing interviews and telling his WHOLE story. People (especially Hip Hop) have a VERY short memory and forget how old Ice-T is AND big he is in hip hop. Ice-T is the ORIGINAL west coast rapper (pre-dates N.W.A) and was so before people even believed it was possible. The man is just great really got to see hip hop grow he along with it! Thank you all so much for having him on. History WILL NOT BURY hip hop nor its legends. More of these please. Thanks again for posting.

I met Ice-T in the 90s at Hard Rock Café in Montreal. He was so kind, humble and explained he was filming Johnny Pneumonic!

[@aerebrush1852]

I remember over 15 yrs ago Ive T was shooting an episode of Law and Order on the street...dude was off camera...some dude driving shouts "YO ICE T!" Ice T just turned around and waved at him and went back to the scene lol not sure why but that was just so smooth its embedded in memory

[@MindTrickedX24]

GREAT interview. Nothing but love and respect for L.A. player Ice-T, the O.G. of this isht. Always pick up the game this man drops.

[@Jayrokilla]

Damn. Ice need to be cherished before we lose him

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

He's highly regarded as the first actual gangsta rapper and he's one of the pillars of rap. He inspired rappers from Pusha T (who got his name from one of his songs) to Eminem (who stated that he studied him amongst others when he was learning the ropes). There's no NWA without Ice T, and there's no 90's era without NWA.

Ice-T has the smoothest, coolest and best life lesson quotes to live by.

[@wesleywashington1251]

Ice-T remembered something from 1975!!! Word for word!! Amazing memory!!

[@Walter-qt9yf]

Yeah word up plus he never did drug's so he definitely has a great mind and memory💯☮️

Great interview, I loved IceT since I was a kid. ♥️

Ice t was a star of a great movie where he plays a homela man given money by the risk and is hunted by them its called surviving the game

[@kingprince8011]

One of my favorite movies

[@jeraldmartinez5456]

That was a good movie

[@spiderpimp33]

Fact! That is actually my favorite Ice-T film followed by New Jack City and Trespass.

[@mauricemerriweather5011]

Fuck Yeah Still one of my favorites

[@nextlevel6663]

Surviving The Game is the title of that movie.

[@MegaVern1]

I already know this is going to be a dope interview. I was introduced to Ice T when he dropped New Jack Hustla and I bought the OG album on cassette. Then he did Body Count and Home Invasion. Of course New Jack City. Got his book too. Salute to a true legend

[@lex23669]

Ice T definitely needs a podcast. Because this man can teach everyone on everything in life

[@zartanr6601]

This man is one of our gems, listen close and learn something, you'll live longer and better! OG ICE thanks!

[@juniquedesigns9612]

Yes this was 1 of the top interview I've seen yeah...🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kiddmobb4759]

Marquees said that because he heard it from someone else Ice T made that song in '93 but the 1st person to say I got 99 problems and a b!tch ain't one was JT Money from The Poison Clan back in '91 on his Poinsonous Mentality Album and they came out under Uncle Luke and Brother Marquees (2 Live Crew)

[@BeauAmoureux]

This is a great interview! 😂 This video played automatically after the video I was watching ended. I was too busy to change the video. Ended up watching the whole interview. Whole time, I would’ve never chosen to watch this jawn. Salute to Ice T for being a cool-ass OG! 🫡

[@co0ki3M0NstAr]

"You don't guide life you ride" That a great quote .... I mean essentially you can do some guiding of your life in a sense but I get what he's saying over all the things you can't control - u jus got learn to ride with it .... Loved ice tea shout out to him and his awesome family I got to meet him and Coco when they came to Milwaukee. He was so nice

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Ice is always a good interview. And it's interesting that Mobb Deep is his favorite ( or most influental ) artist.

[@patrickryan5011]

Ice-T was before my time, but even without having an intimate knowledge of his entertainment career, this has to be one of the best interviews I’ve ever listened to.

[@kenricknelson310]

I lost it at about 20:37 when he said "My shxt was more wavy then the ships in the navy on a funky bxtch" 😭😭😭⚰️⚰️⚰️💯💯💯

[@Jj-ty7qh]

I have a,ways said, Ice gives the best interviews. He is the exact antithesis of Jay Z. It never seizes to amaze me just how articulate and wise Ice is. For a man who hardly went to school and learnt all his learnt on the street it’s truly remarkable. It probably explains how he has survived and thrived this long right in the trenches. Dude got genius moves. This man’s IQ must be off the charts.

[@khrashingphantom9632]

Hardly went to school? He went to college AND was in the Army. Lol. Most successful rapper (especially in the "modern" era) have some college under their belts. But Ice-T IS very unique from his era in a LOT of different ways and his grind and movement and articulate ability are DAMN great. He's LEGENDARY for a reason. Lol.

[@PhoenixBlack_741]

It was great to see the OG Ice T for this interview. I’ve been listening to this man for too much years (lol) and the man has always had the same positive/player attributes. My first record I bought from him (showing my age now) was ‘Squeeze The Trigger’ and just was blown away from what I was hearing, although admittedly it was for the beat, but once I had it for myself I began to analyse the lyrics. And being from England, to hear what the man was speaking was soo profound: I couldn’t believe it. I became a fan instantly, went out and bought the album too. You know what done my head in? Is when I realised that he was the man rapping on stage at Radiotron!!! (If you know, you know) But great interview all the same, and much respects to you both! Bless up.
