Ice is one of the most down to earth people in the industry. I was helping a group out of AZ and we were recording at Ice’s house. Ice sat down with these young men and gave them an hour and a half of advice on how not to get screwed in the industry for free.
Realised that when he asked him the question about Lethal Weapon, and how that sounds like it's about guns. Immediately my brain was singing the chorus "you think I'm violent, but listen and you will find: my lethal weapon's my mind"
Arsenio Hall was on from 1989-94 and the powers that be took him off because they said he was too "inner city"...IDIOTS!.. HE was terrific at what he did!..I'm a 74 year old white guy for what it's worth...
From gang member to hustler/rapper, to playing a cop on TV/playing in movies... this man did it all, played in many decent movies, and owns a couple companies... Nobody back in those days took him too seriously after he shifted to movie celebrity, but he was brilliant in how he moved through life
Genghis Daze - Yeah, it should be called Ice-T schools America with the help of Arsenio because that's what happened. I remember that show but I was listening to the record before that. Iceberg: Freedom of Speech, Just Watch What You Say was mind blowing when that shit dropped. Ice was the first rapper to really explain street life to people through music, and he didn't sugar coat it neither. So when people tried to say he was glorifying the thug life, that would never hold up in court. If you listened with an open mind the message was clear. I still rock that shit to this day because it's just as true.
Daekwon Da Prophet agree. I can only find creative lyrics and storytelling in metal nowadays. Shame. Growing up listening to groups/bands like bdp & slayer, lyrics & music nowadays, for the most part, got worse.
michael Jacobs how the fuck do u know he doesnt know people? I swear , humans just love projecting whatever they like onto whatever they see, u dont know this cat and u dont know how he is in real life
Blacks being killed by cops this guy is saying nothing! When Tracy Marrow use to be black. Now he is the biggest sellout in America. He Gotz his and don't care anybody or anything to do with black people
He’s consistent in EVERY video, even this far back. Be never said, he was a Crip, just affiliated because of where he lived. Ain’t no frontin’ goin’ on. Dude seems solid to me.
The homies that don't get too close are the smart ones. If T had been a bona fide 100% Crip he probably would never have had the career he's enjoyed all these decades. Either a heinous crime would catch up with him or (more likely) they would snuff him out for leaving the gang.
Yep and he couldve easily claimed affiliation and cashed in for the short run but he told the truth stayed true and is still going strong 30 years later as a result
jakethemuss3 Arsenio ain’t on now for the exact reason you see in this interview; the further along he went the more anti white he got. You see Ice mocking whites here, then Arsenio turned around and did the same thing. He did himself in because he alienated whites. I watched him as a kid too. Then I quit watching him because he got further and further into being anti white. He shunned 3/4 of his audience.
bandit7498 Didn't know that. Even if you not someone's race you gotta be able to judge a person by their character and integrity rather than what their race is known for in a whole. If he really was being racist then it was good that his show got cancelled.

@@JonO387 And lemme guess, you're a racist lol? Much better! ew. How dumb. He's literally the most cookie cutter cop playing family man there is ya weirdo.
it's cause growing up they talked white. As they got older they realized oh im black but never grew up or lived in the hood. But im gonna talk and act like a i did. 90% of blacks
I love ice t..he's not only an underrated rapper ,but also a humble person who never had any beef with other rappers..actually seen him talk positive about other rappers..
“Being hip is being intelligent , and the true lethal weapon is the mind , it’s not the gun you have in your hand it’s what your thinking” “ Go to the library go get some more ammo and then you’ll be powerful , you’ll be stronger than any gun out there “
He never put in work for the hood he grew up he wasn’t a gangsta he was a hustler or you calling him og cause he is old lol 😂 he did serve the military that I salute him for
Ice T was schooling anyone willing to listen. This is a relevant message today too. First rapper I ever personally bought the album of. Way back in the day..

he's the man. everytime I stumble upon an interview with him, from any point in his career, it has been very insightful and packed with TRUTH. he's a really smart and badass dude.
I mean there was a pretty unhealthy culture surrounding Hip Hop at the time, right? It was a source of credibility to be a criminal among other things, and if you weren't in a gang you were seen as irrelevant. It's the unhealthy side of Rap, and given that the majority of modern Rap focuses on the same old concepts (guns, women, drugs) I don't think they have evolved at all, just that (successful) modern rappers are almost always posers (Papa Doc lookalikes) and have no idea what they are talking about. Ice-T was a Renaissance man, he didn't go the path of his contemporaries, and I think that really shows considering what happened to some of the big names at the time who were living that life (and so many lesser known people). The man is living life to the fullest, has a family, is a multimillionaire, and is in his sixties. Getting grief over making the right choice is pretty nuts.
Huge fan of Ice T since 84 when Breakin' came out then bought rhyme pays, power, iceberg and OG he's one of the pioneer gangsta rappers alongside schoolly D his lyrics on power absolutely awesome.
Respect to Ice-T, always fucking walked it how he talked it...even put on rappers from the UK, the legendary Hijack crew, damn; even Everlast was down with the Rhyme Syndicate...Ice is an absolute genius. Whole world got love for him!

Ronald DGK"I'm your pusher" "high rollers" "lethal weapon" "ricochet" are my favorites + anything from the body count albums but those are more punk rock
Ronald DGK Listen to "What Ya Wanna Do?" featuring Ice-T and Rhyme Syndicate. It features Everlast before he rose to greater prominence in House of Pain. The song appears on "The Iceberg/Freedom Of Speech...Just Watch What You Say" (1989). The music video is on RUclips, and the album is still available on both compact disc and vinyl. Warning: if you listen to this song, you'll never listen to today's hip hop the same way again. There's at least half a dozen rappers on this song along that are miles ahead of the biggest mainstream rap names of today. Listen to the tempo of the song, these guys are rapping at a million miles an hour. Also, it runs for eight minutes, not one profanity--I feel that today's hip hop relies way too much on profanity, it get tiresome very quickly. You didn't get that back in the day, and the N-word wasn't used three or four times a verse like it is today.
MisterObjectivity u are absolutely correct. Todays songs bring back words that werent used back then. Some of the words were an insult back then, but now those words are turning to an everyday used word, and whats more discouraging is that they are being used by little kids, and teens.
Now look at him..GREAT PERSON...Met him about 2 years with my Grandkids..he was a very nice man took pictures with all of us..Grandkids for the rest of the day talked about him and made sure my son and his wife seen all the pictures totally made there day..me myself been a fan for many years..in my younger days was security for movie stars and singers overseas met many..just certain ones are really cool people and down to earth..Ice-T was one...
The one thing about Ice-T is that he always told the truth as he saw it. You didn't have to agree with the cat, but you could never deny his genuine nature. FLTG for life!
@@MrTheHillfolk Ha! You know that whole scenario was wild. A bunch of middle-class mostly white kids in the Alternative music scene of the '80's getting schooled by Ice T. I would love to tell you what he talked about 😉! The guys that booked acts for our underground scene were way ahead of their time (Atomique and Random Thought'). I lucked out big time!
Ice -T the inventor of Gangster Rhyme n never encouraged it. Shudda got knowledge from school books instead of st. Crooks now im in the penitentiary all i get is hard looks. Love him grew up with him. O.G Smart clever intelligent and a genius. Upmost respect; always be the first one to kick off the underground G-style. ☺🙋👍✌👆
This is honest to god the only time I heard someone explain clearly the gang mindset and the vicious cycle that causes the gang mentality, he's one of the most articulate rappers ive heard actually speaking!
Yup that's what I heard as a kid still fresh in my mind. I grew up in the hood too. Great clip it's been years/decades since I seen it. Ice-T was right. and still is. Thx Ice-T

That was 88 I'll never forget that video

I met him once at a bodycount concert and played Basketball with him. He doesnt do any drugs. Not even smoke weed. First rap i heard as a kid.
I'm your Pusher made me realize I wanted to hustle my music and not someone else's drugs. Ice-T is an underrated hero, and wicked inspiration to many.

man i can think of only less than a handful of today's popular rappers who could have an intelligent conversation like this
Now look at him..GREAT PERSON...Met him about 2 years with my Grandkids..he was a very nice man took pictures with all of us..Grandkids for the rest of the day talked about him and made sure my son and his wife seen all the pictures totally made there day..me myself been a fan for many years..in my younger days was security for movie stars and singers overseas met many..just certain ones are really cool people and down to earth..Ice-T was one...
Love Ice T
Met him at a mall in AZ and he signed autographs for hrs for all us kids ... Very humble , smart man ... oh yeah hella talented too..
Lol isn't that back when the Raiders were based in L.A. ? Holy crap
Yes!
Los Angeles, Oakland, now Las Vegas
That's funny ,... I didn't know they ever left L.A.... huh. I guess I don't follow baseball very much.
Raiders moved to oak in like 1995
Ice T is the man.
Man I have run into Ice T on three different occasions. Down to earth dude and so approachable every time.
Ice T is a brilliant individual. Hes done it all.
Veteran, PIMP, Rockstar, Actor.
Done it all!
The one thing about Ice-T is that he always told the truth as he saw it. You didn't have to agree with the cat, but you could never deny his genuine nature. FLTG for life!
#realtalk from a real OG!
..that's a G!
what a classic interview, thanks for uploading
Ice T was born and raised in New Jersey went to the west coast for many years and then came back east. I'm glad he ultimately came back home
That's what the streets used to teach.
The end of this video is amazing, educate yourself, and learn others. That is all this world needs. That. is. it.
Great message, Ice-T. Hands down, Arsenio, your show was THE best!!!
2:25 to 2:34 is the greatest quote explaining gang membership. Thank-you Ice T.
this is what i miss back then interviews were honest not like today
ICE T the LEGEND
Very articulate Ice T. Great story how Ice T advanced from South Central LA to the hit TV series Law & Order. 👍👍👍
I have always absolutely loved Ice T he is so smart and cool af love his wife coco too when they had their reality show ❤
this dude is the real deal
That's a brother with a education
it's "an" education.
With AN education.looks like you need one.
I had the privilege of being 'schooled' by Ice-T back in the day. Brilliant mind - and showman. He captures his audience.
Lol I was gonna say lucky dog and then I saw your profile pic🤣
@@MrTheHillfolk Ha! You know that whole scenario was wild. A bunch of middle-class mostly white kids in the Alternative music scene of the '80's getting schooled by Ice T. I would love to tell you what he talked about 😉! The guys that booked acts for our underground scene were way ahead of their time (Atomique and Random Thought'). I lucked out big time!
@@KatJ3st
I bet man.
We ain't never heard no shit like that before , and probably won't again.
Good times.
This dude is winning grammys for his heavy metal music now.
Love Ice T and also love him on LAW AND ORDER SUV
Love ICE-T a real cool dude,love hi in Law & Order SUV
It's crazy how there's almost no difference between what he's sayin then & what he's sayin now. Ice T knows what the fuck is goin on
Either that or hes stuck in the 80s, anyway how do ya know what he's saying now I never hear him in the news on the east coast.
Wow what a throwback video thank you for posting this brings back memories of the past and the throw back shows that was out
Good souls the world over LOVES YOU Ice-T!!!
Ice my man, dropping science...right on brotha!
"You wanna see who's really got the power? bring yo ass to the tower."
Ice-T is a student of life. His lifetime of successes definitely shows that.
Ice -T the inventor of Gangster Rhyme n never encouraged it. Shudda got knowledge from school books instead of st. Crooks now im in the penitentiary all i get is hard looks. Love him grew up with him. O.G Smart clever intelligent and a genius. Upmost respect; always be the first one to kick off the underground G-style. ☺🙋👍✌👆
This is honest to god the only time I heard someone explain clearly the gang mindset and the vicious cycle that causes the gang mentality, he's one of the most articulate rappers ive heard actually speaking!
Not only did he school Arsenio , he schooled the whole Television audience Kudos to Ice-T
Yup that's what I heard as a kid still fresh in my mind. I grew up in the hood too. Great clip it's been years/decades since I seen it. Ice-T was right. and still is. Thx Ice-T
his words and thoughts still true to this day, ice t and co was way ahead of his time. this cat so smart and thoughtful and he didnt even go to school
