holy crap... he interviewed very well and was cool, calm, and collected. I have so much respect for this guy. he's exactly right, the song isn't killing people, it's just a song...
I know he never backed down and the Feds were really messing with him. New Jack City never got made because of him putting this song out. He only recently admitted that. Ice had no real family so they harassed his close friends family instead. Those were wild times
The things that ICE-T spoke about in 1992, are STILL happening in 2019!!! He has my UTMOST respect, he is an AWESOME uncompromising speaker of TRUTH!!! ✊✊✊
@@lindacedonulli5197 Hi! Linda, yeah I'm aware he still has a voice, that was my point really. Been following him for 30+ years. great rapper & lyricist, terrible actor :)
@@ingsoc_8295 Lol I wasn't talking about their music. I was talking about their intelligence... And what I thought was garbage back then actually sounds good now. I hated MC Eiht as a kid, but I think he's dope af now.
Your detractors would say that the music is second rate stuff and wouldn't get a mention if it didn't have these references to violence. What do you say to them? My detractors couldn't make a record that could sell 10 records. Thats like me saying that Rembrandt would have never sold a painting if he didn't paint nudes. What a fucking answer.
I'm old enough to be at that concert in Melbourne at Festival Hall when he was told not to sing that song but did at the end When we left the concert there was a line of police we all had to pass through to get home :)
Ice-T, legend of Rap and Heavy Metal History. Speaking the truth. U are a Rap legend and I give you mad props, love, and respect. I still be watching Law and Order: SVU. Fa sho.
He thrived on the fact that the media, the cops, and the politically correct hated him. He took all of that and ran with it, and that's how he got where he is today...THAT is what made Ice-T one of the Legends.
it has changed. Police just are not respecting anyone's rights. it has gotten better though. Camera phones, 1st amendment audits and lawsuits are changing police culture
I'm barely abo but it's no comparison. Native Americans are a better comparison and even then it doesn't quite meet up because people had no choice in coming to Australia. My ancestors had no choice coming to Australia and my other ancestors had no choice in having their land taken. Fuck off using that to push an agenda
Hey big thanks Shitfoundon...I missed this interview in '92. 22 years later I finally get to see it! Ps. Jana always looked like that in interviews. I think she secretly respected Ice...
It would be ironic if he became a police officer. Taking an acting job is not the same as being the profession you are portraying... It is pretend. The actors playing police on television aren't really police officers, it is pretend.
@@simonmcnamee619 I appreciate you teaching me the literal definition of "ironic" but I was using it loosely. Anyone who despised cops so much and takes on a full time job playing one on tv is somewhat ironic I think
Oh look at that. Interviewer asks a question, and then let's the interviewee answer the question. None of this interrupting every 2 seconds! This is how it used to be!
Strong words. I can actually see why a guy like that would've been scary back in the day. You'd never get a prominent name saying such dangerous things these days.
There was a punk band in the '80s called "Millions of Dead Cops". That's literally their name, lol. They still exist if you want to follow them on Facebook :D
So bizarre to see an honest interviewer who doesn't smear, asks honest questions, and don't play dirty when faced with a legit (and badass) response. Miss those days....
To think, the song, "Cop Killer," is still as massive today as it was back then. This song was the answer to NWA's "Fuck the Police" and so much more. What was sad about this song was after hearing the NWA song between the late 80s and the early 90s when "Cop Killer" came out, so many people claimed to have had it, yet these same people weren't saying anything about Rodney King's near-death courtesy of L.A.'s racist law enforcement, for lack of better words, which eventually led to the L.A. Riots. It's so sad that so many minorities in America, especially in the states of California and New York, throughout the years, have to undergo so much pain due to police brutality and harassment, and the two songs made possible by NWA and Body Count respectively are still getting the bittersweet reception that they both got over 20 years ago.
Killing in the name by Rage Against the Machine is anthour hornorable mention too, it's anthour song that's in the same vein as NWA's Fuck the police or Body Count's cop killer, it is a response to the Rodney King incident, it still get's regonition today as it did 30 years ago
California and New York both ran by Democrats for the state and every major city in each state, it's really no surprise yet we still keep voting them in
Not really. She just asked the questions she was given, she didn't write them. She didn't talk over him or try to cut him off. She didn't mock him or try to provoke him. She asked some tough questions and gave him every chance to say exactly what he wanted to say. She didn't try to twist his words or attempt to impose her own views at any point. She was respectful and professional. How do you think this interview would've gone down if Bill O'Reilly did it today?
LMFAO Floyd died of an Overdose he ate his stash! He said he can't breath while in the back of the Cop car! He was a known tweeker scumbag that once did a home invasion and he held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach while doing so! It's ALL there black and white clear as day!
Anyone have a copy of/a link to the full interview? It used to be up here on youtube but can't seem to find it anymore. This one cuts out the intro montage and at least the first question where he establishes the song is from the perspective of a character.
True words and straight to the point and it’s still happening today. We see more of it because it can be recorded and shows how ignorant the police are. Respect to this man.
@ShitifoundonVHS After reviewing the various submissions, and listening carefully to the album, the Tribunal found the song "Cop Killer" to be "not exhortatory," saw the album as displaying "an honest purpose," & found Body Count not indecent.PART 2
Is this the full interview? I actually watched it live when I was a kid and I recall there was a part where Jana was reviewing the lyrics...maybe my brain remembers it incorrectly.

I think she didn't want to outsmart him. She's a journalist. They are meant to ask provoking questions and be critical with their interview partners.
I'm 47 years old and Ice -T has always been more of a father to me than my own dad
lmao you are pathetic.
How many rappers today would mention Rembrandt in their interviews?? I swear rappers were so much smarter 25+ years ago.
Todays 'rappers' are high on pills and can't even recite the alphabet

This is 1992 . And now it's 2016 on the verge of 2017 . Nothing changed .

it has changed. Police just are not respecting anyone's rights. it has gotten better though. Camera phones, 1st amendment audits and lawsuits are changing police culture

great interview.......somewhat ironic that he now plays a Detective on SVU............
Johnny Rotten what better role to play than what you're familiar with. The detective I street smart and savy
And he ruffs some people up
