What ppl didn't understand was the fact that ice t was a older cat, think about it, he's over 60 now so he hit the rap game in his late 20's so he already had wisdom and knowledge been in the military ect
@@ishmeelcurry3394 they were. If you were doing the shit that people considered cool now back then, you were considered the opposite. It wasn’t cool to be mumble and look stupid.
I love everything Ice T said, makes perfect sense. It sounds (just like today) that Conservatives back in 1992 demonized him from the start and weren't even interested in hearing his side of the story. At 5:10 to 6:35 he hit the nail on the head, that Middle America freaked out when white suburban kids started getting into him. Politicians similarly went after heavy metal in the 80s/early 90s too, but the police brutality issue is even more relevant today. This was years before social media, so this appearance was even more important for getting his message out. He clearly said there's good police too, but he was justifiably pissed off at the bad ones who brutalize people.
It was not just the conservatives, it was all politicians. Especially Tipper Gore, she went after all music, not just hip hop. There was an Oprah episode where Jello from the Dead Kennedy's called her ass out.
Tell 'em T! Back in those days rappers were actually INTELLIGENT and took PRIDE in that. Chuck,Ra,Ice,KRS,Cube,etc. I miss those days. And what he said about Arnold is true. And what's more powerful,SEEING people getting killed or HEARING it. And what he said about white kids (which is positive) NOT wanting to be racist. I remember this episode and probably have it on tape somewhere.
He made nothing but valid points in his defense.I think what made him such a threat was;he enunciates!You can understand every word he says.Some rappers muddle their words so badly,you wonder why they even bothered.
Idk what tf is up with black people today, but this is the black America I once knew and loved. Unapologetic, articulate, political, educated, street savvy, and black men acted like real men.
Yo man this video was good, is there a part 2 as well?. Ice-t is one of the most intelligent rappers to grace rap. Listening to him makes me realise how dope Hip-Hop was back in the early 90's.
Those were true words right there man. I mean damn!! new rap can't compare to that. Ice-t is so intelligent, I'm 16 now. And damn i wish i was born back in the 80's or late 70's so that i could really grow up with hip-hop and all that. but i'm in the gay century where nothing makes since anymore.and real hip-hop has disappeared, and mainstream just sucks.
My parents never infringed upon my musical choices and let me make decisions on what I liked.. they gave me advice but they never tried to rule my life. Freedom of choice is great!! I listened to a lot of rap in the 80’s and it was no different in what they were relaying about corruption and government intrusion than what metal was about as well, a truly eye opening time!
What young artist/rappers take for granted today is that NWA, ICE T, 2Pac, Geto boys, 2 Live Crew etc really fought the good fight in terms of lyrics and censorship and for the most part they ended up winning. Now artist pretty much say what they want without the government trying to shut their whole shit down. And vice Presidents trying to rip their album of the shelves and band the music. They went through that, so now artist don't go through that!
I've never been a big fan of rap music, however Ice-T is one of the few artist who has stayed true to his beliefs and has created a very respectful carrier. He speaks intelligently unlike 90% of other folks in the rap industry. I couldn't agree more with him on his views guns, He isn't afraid to speak his mind. His character on L&O SVU is great. Keep up the great job!
Wow I remember when there was all this controversy and I had to fight (verbally) to carry on listenin to rap and gangsta music with my parents cos of all this bullshit! This was why I loved Ice!
Yo, I don't give a fuck about what ANYBODY says, Ice goes hard, and is one of the baddest dudes in the rap game. He tells is like it is, and he makes sure that people know where he's comin' from, and what's why you gotta love him...
My nigga Ice-T......1st time I seen this interview & this is prolly the best interview I've seen. You couldnt argue about wat he says b/c wat he's sayin is 100% true
dis is one of da best interviews ive ever heard.ice t aint scared of dem bad police and da government.big up all da ppl who spoke against da government and got killed.fuck illuminati

It's weird how articulate he is in comparison to rappers today.
What ppl didn't understand was the fact that ice t was a older cat, think about it, he's over 60 now so he hit the rap game in his late 20's so he already had wisdom and knowledge been in the military ect
I feel like people in their 20’s was more matured back in the 80’s and 90’s
He has ALWAYS been articulate because he is EXTREMELY intelligent .
@@ishmeelcurry3394 they were. If you were doing the shit that people considered cool now back then, you were considered the opposite. It wasn’t cool to be mumble and look stupid.
That’s for sure
He has mellowed out alot since then. I remember that interview and the young ice t. I've been a fan for decades....
Ice-T has so much style
So well mannered and outspoken.. He's a true MACK
This is the most honest and courageous interview i've ever seen.

Very true.. you’re speaking truth
A true pioneer of rappers who gained respect from the East Coast back in the day.
"I'm not a cop killer, I'D BE IN JAIL!"
lol...this was a really intelligent interview, I gotta give it to Ice
Ice T kickin that knowledge
even 2pac was inspired by this guy
i love ice it,he's O.G.

same bro, i'm a rock music type guy but i also like early rap music
words of wisdom!!
He dropped science!
Ice-T is the man, he has always been a cool cat, the iceberg was the first hip hop cassette I bought at 11 years old back in the day, always loved Ice
Ice T dropping jewels.
Word! and it's still true today
Ice T like, I didnt buy these fresh kicks for nothing
real smart dude. great interview.
Very cool interview. Like he said, he plays a role like an actor. He's done it for many years and is still doing it. That's Ice T!
Damn... Ice-T is just straight up and a lot of people cant handle it! Real talk s0n!
"All I did was make em a theme song" AAAhahaha!
love ice t. wish there were more like him. positive rap star.
I like how he wore Red N Blue
I never realized how intelligent, and articulate Ice T is. I'm proud to claim him as one of my own.
Ice t is a smart dude
Ice-T is so awesome! He's such an intellegent and insightfull person. Thanks for posting this interview.
Ice T is very articulate. I wish most rappers today could hold an intelligent conversation like the old cats like Ice T, KRS One, etc.
i saw Body Count live on the "Murder 4 Hire Tour" in Germany 3 years ago...was amazing!!!!
He knows exactly who he is. That was a good watch. Rappers of today, what on earth are their priorities?!!!
ice-t handled this pretty well
He made nothing but valid points in his defense.I think what made him such a threat was;he enunciates!You can understand every word he says.Some rappers muddle their words so badly,you wonder why they even bothered.
Great interview by IceT!

1st rule of life never take anything too seriously
It's funny how audience had loud applause on d views of Ice, but totally clueless of what he's talking about.
I've seen every episode of SVU!
Those were true words right there man. I mean damn!! new rap can't compare to that. Ice-t is so intelligent, I'm 16 now. And damn i wish i was born back in the 80's or late 70's so that i could really grow up with hip-hop and all that. but i'm in the gay century where nothing makes since anymore.and real hip-hop has disappeared, and mainstream just sucks.
So how is the world now that you are 27? I've been waiting over a decade to come back and check on you. In this comment section.
1:50 that needs to be made into a movie.
You gotta be kiddin'. A cop killer movie in today's society??? There'd be a national riot.
Early 90's :: you come on Arseno Hall wearing blue and red; AND you a gangsta rapper --->>> you know you a real one 😉
My parents never infringed upon my musical choices and let me make decisions on what I liked.. they gave me advice but they never tried to rule my life. Freedom of choice is great!! I listened to a lot of rap in the 80’s and it was no different in what they were relaying about corruption and government intrusion than what metal was about as well, a truly eye opening time!
Thats my man Ice T right there, I will always have much love and respect for him
He was just talking about cops who abuse their power cause they feel like it. he was never talking about all cops
That's not just a talk show, that's ARSENIO.
God love Ice T real og
Ice-T definatly a smart individual he made some good points on this vid,
Damn ICE predicted Christopher Donor 20 years b4 it happened even tho cuz was a cop but still my nigga real !!!
Loved Ice t growing up..I was one of those white boys buying up his stuff. hehe, funny seeing Hall again too
I'm surprised they allowed him to use the N word on a talk show.
А что у вас на шоу нельзя говорить по Русский ?
"man i'm worrying bout where my socks are at" hahaha
but for real, this guy talks the truth big up!
intelligent and honest man

"Maybe these cops are scared because most of them know they're wrong"
What young artist/rappers take for granted today is that NWA, ICE T, 2Pac, Geto boys, 2 Live Crew etc really fought the good fight in terms of lyrics and censorship and for the most part they ended up winning. Now artist pretty much say what they want without the government trying to shut their whole shit down. And vice Presidents trying to rip their album of the shelves and band the music. They went through that, so now artist don't go through that!

Wow I remember when there was all this controversy and I had to fight (verbally) to carry on listenin to rap and gangsta music with my parents cos of all this bullshit! This was why I loved Ice!
This is from the Arsenio Hall Show.
Ice T got me into HipHop. And i love the fact that 15 years on, Ice T is still causing debate on U Tube. ps i'm white and did buy all the cd's.
That's a shame brother, i would of loved to have seen that performance of Cop Killer. Damn You Tube man!!
Ice-T knows what the fuck he's talking about. Very articulate and intelligent.
It's weird how F🤬CKING
AWSOME he is❣❣❣❣
Ice-T is as sharp as a razor! So sharp and so cool!
I watched this back in the day. Body Count played "There Goes The Neighborhood" after the interview. Do you have that too? Post it up!
I think they're just sweat pants, which you can get at almost any store.
One Word....Real N*gga, I wish there were more like this dude. Love u man..
Yo, I don't give a fuck about what ANYBODY says, Ice goes hard, and is one of the baddest dudes in the rap game. He tells is like it is, and he makes sure that people know where he's comin' from, and what's why you gotta love him...
ICE-T has always been one of the most Intelligent EMCEE
