    Tracy Marrow (born February 16, 1958), better known by his stage name Ice-T, is an American rapper and actor. He was born in Newark, New Jersey and moved to Los Angeles, California. After graduating from high school, he served in the United States Army for four years. He began his career as a rapper in the 1980s and was signed to Sire Records in 1987, when he released his debut album Rhyme Pays. The next year, he founded record label Rhyme Syndicate and released another album, Power. He became the lead vocalist in rap metal band Body Count, which he introduced in his 1991 album O.G.: Original Gangster. Body Count released its self-titled debut album in 1992. Ice-T encountered controversy over his track "Cop Killer", which was perceived to glamorize killing police officers. Because of this, he left Warner Bros. Records in 1993 and released his album Home Invasion through Priority Records instead. Body Count's next album was released in 1994, and Ice-T released two more albums in the late 1990s.
    As an actor, Ice-T began starring in minor roles in two films during the mid-1980s. In 1991, Ice-T formally began his acting career as an actor in the film New Jack City. Ice-T also starred in films such as Who's the Man? (1993), CB4 (1993), Tank Girl (1995), and Johnny Mnemonic (1995). He has played Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola on the NBC police drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit since 1999. In 2006, Ice-T released his first album in seven years, Gangsta Rap.

    Like him or hate him, Ice-T told the truth the way it is. These alleged up-and-coming rappers need to really pay attention and pay hommage to innovators like Ice-T. He paved the way and he deserves respect for that.

    "All you need is Boogie Down and Chuck D, Stetsasonic or the Big Daddy. " Ice -T was giving props to the New York rappers Boogie Down Productions , KRS-1 included, Chuck D of Public Enemy, the rap group Stetsasonic and Big Daddy Kane. True Hip Hop heads know the real pioneers.

This song made me straighten my self up when I was in grade school, blaming everything and everyone else for my failures to do my assignments. Then I realized I was playing myself with all them weak ass excuses I was making.

    Ice T NEVER lied when he said that you can't buy no relationship because my young cousin was telling me and my Uncles that if you dont spend at least $50 on a 1st date, then you're getting kicked to the curb and I told my 92 year old mentor friend and he replied, " That means that she wasn't interested from the get go". More important things to worry about and there's too much trouble in the world to be worried about some woman that doesn't give a damn.

    This shit was real. Dropping knowledge. Yes may never hear hip hop artists push music with these types of messages again. This was actually the original intention of rap music. To teach the youth about the pitfalls of life on different levels.

    • @hermanhitt5055
      @hermanhitt5055 Před 8 měsíci

      Facts. Rap Music was teaching, not preaching. That's one of the many reasons why it was so Powerful. When it became watered down and glorification of violence and sexual immorality began, it went downhill fast. The rap music off today is just a pitiful imitation of what it once was.🧐😔🙏🏽

    Ice T always dropped PURE jewels of wisdom. He's the difference between a selfish scumbag who will lead young kids wrong and into a life that will either kill them, land them in prison, or in the ground, and an older, wiser street dude who quietly encourages younger kids to take a good look around, think, stay off the street, or eventually the street will get you. Ice is and has always been the latter. 💯 Solid brother.🤛
