- Too Old To Die Young is a short documentary series hosted by legendary publicist Bill Adler that showcases the lives of urban culture’s most legendary characters. Today's episode focuses on the world of Ice-T, one of the pioneers of gangster rap, and one of the most successful rapper-turned-actors till date. We spent a day in Ice's home, getting an intimate look into his personal life.
In the second episode of the new series, Bill Adler chills with Ice-T, the rapper, bandleader, actor, and filmmaker whose documentary film 'Art of Rap' breaks down the craft and technique of rapping.
While showing us his "small car collection," Ice retells a conversation he had with a car dealer: "He says 'You have everything you need. You have shoes, you have pants, you have your rent paid. Now life is about what you want.'" So now, Ice-T says, he's been fucking around, buying shit he wants.
Walking through the house Ice reminds us that he has accumulated six gold records, and remarks "this is when people had to actually physically go into the store and buy your record. It's a big commitment." Things have changed a lot now, but back when a 29 year-old Ice-T released his debut album, 'Rhyme Pays,' you had to sell 500,000 records for those gold bones and extinct disks.
As Coco, Ice-T's wife of 15 years, brings us into the Coco Cave, her room full of shoes and accessories, Ice tells us how he watched Ozzy and Sharon Osborne's relationship on TV. "Ozzy doesn't seem like someone that's going to pay a cable bill. Somebody's got to hold that together. I need a chick like that."
As a hustler and an on-screen cop, Ice-T clarifies that the rapper who made "Cop Killer" also plays characters on screen. 'Law & Order' creator Dick Wolf specifically asked him to play the cop character that the show needed. Seventeen years later the player is still playin'.

Salute to Ice-t good to see a successful Black man still doing it ....
He doesn't look black to me. You must be blind. Lol
Faccs
@@JorgeGonzalez-ut3pm Ice-T is black his daddy is African-American and his mother is creole black
Shit a black man doing what he wants and doing real good is more like it.
@@JorgeGonzalez-ut3pm you just hate huh.
l dont care what you haters say about this comment.. ICE- T is a legend and influenced me from dot zero..
He could have continued the struggle... He could have rapped about the military industrial complex, Syrian regime change, massacre in Yemen, inflated military budget, how Obama was a sell-out and how Trump isn't much different than Obama in reality. He could have talked about The disappearance of labor unions... He could have talked about the Federal reserve keeping interest rates low in order to make the rich richer... He could have elevated his game but he topped out, gave up, and didn't apply his knowledge to the larger game.. to the bigger picture... He's not as great as you think he is... Wasted talent
@@doveshouse .. I think you need to listen to bloodlust. Ice t's latest Bodycount album. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
@@doveshouse He couldve been killed for the shit he did.
Dudes makin paper n not in jail so let some new cat fly that flag for a while. Why dont YOU? 🤣🤣🤣
"Love isn't lookin' someone in the eye, it's looking out in the same direction." - Ice T
This nigga killin it on Law and Order lmao dude livin the life
Ice T is not only the coolest in the game, he's definitely among the smartest. My Brother!
I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking.......
THREESTRIKES Colors
The first rap song I memorized
Colors, colors, colors....
I Wish Denzel Washington & Ice.T, were in another movie after RICOCHET 91
Together!!
First Rapper I ever listened to and still one of my all time favourites.
ICE-T is forever an OG
What is your biggest accomplishment.getting out of the Hood...REAL TALK
Ice-T man I love you you're the man great great story I remember back in the days you used to be hanging out over there on La Cienega and sometime I will catch the bus just to come down to see you at that car place on the corner La Cienega and Venice
AZ has to do 1 of these!! 1 of the most underrated mc's ever
I agree!
See I admire Ice-t cause he's the bomb he's an incredible actor plus he is an orginal rapper. That became very successful because he worked his ass off to become who he wanted to be in life.
i got a whole new respect for this dude
What I love about Ice is that he is just fucking comfortable. He's the definition of an OG,and few of those ever make it. Seeing and being around what he's been around and navigating to this age. He's never sold niggas dreams and always tells you how the game has no ending unless you play it smart. He's done his crime,made his music,made his movies,did his tb show now that man wants to settle down with his stacked,young wife,buy his cars and watch the fruits of his labor...much respect.
Damn I hope to get to a point in life where I can think about wants and not needs 😅 hopefully this film thing works out. "If I want to be remembered I can't just be in the game, I have to document the game."
Been a die hard Ice-T fan for years ever since I heard his songs Colors and Squeeze The Trigger off of the movie Colors back in the 80's all the way up to the current Body Count album Bloodlust which is a brutal masterpiece in my opinion .Ice has stayed true to what he's about and never compromised his beliefs for anybody .he's all about that money and his family which I can respect . 1 of the true OG's still left in the game and at almost 60 years old isn't slowin' down at all .Respect and salute to Ice-T .have been a fan and still am a fan to this day . Peace and outta here.
My dad played me 6 in the morning when i was a kid and I was a instant fan. Ice T is super underrated, and in my opinion him and Ice Cube and Ren was the most lyrical to come out of the west coast hands down for 20 years
Wait till you hear Highrollers
"We gangs of L.A. will never die, just multiply - colors"
Nice , Well spoken tracy. Everything is fun that you do done.
Life is awesome.
Jonathan Sisco I don't think he likes to be called Tracy unless you are some real close family member.
My first ever album at age 9 was power I’ve always loved ice t he is defo the og
If there's anyone to look up to, it's Ice. This guy did everything to better himself and get out of the hood and live great.
Love it. Wish it could have been longer.
Got shit to do... Get it done ICE! You a humble dude. It's nice to see OGs like you out there enjoying life

I'd like to meet Ice and talk with him about his past when he was hustler, jacker and pimp. He is very nice guy and he has large street knowledge. Peace with you Ice !
Great interview 👍
Nice to help, well done.
good stuff mass appeal. this was an absorbing watch. kudos to whomever edited this.
Dude 60 looking 30 sheesh life's good !
I've met Ice more than once in the 90s, 00s and 10s...he def. doesn't look 30 anymore...hell he was 30 the 1st time you ever seen him...
Eat right and believe in god!
This nigga does not look 30 at all he look 48 at best
Put your faith in the Lord and then you'll look blessed to where a younger person will say he or she is older than you.
Until next year.
He deserves so much more credit than he gets when it comes to Hip Hop
Ice T is an inspiration. Being able to keep going creatively, acting, him and Body Count still doing tours; how can you hate that?!
I want that at 60!
Nothing but respect and admiration
Bill, you inspire me buddy. Everytime I make contact with you, you inspire me to work "harder" and I appreciate that about you. Thanks man, you and your son Sam is doing great work.
