I don't understand how fans of Ice-T still champion his music and lifestyle.I had a friend burn me a copy of this album saying how its one of his favorite rap albums of all time. And this is a guy who doesn't like modern rap because it's all about boats and hos.
For one, consider that Ice-T's been relatively disconnected with the streets and that entire lifestyle for a long, long time. Plus, he's married a white woman.
Then consider that Ice-T portrays a police officer on NBC, the network that famously took criticism for the lack of diversity in its hit shows like "Friends" and "Seinfeld."
That, friends, is the definition of a sell out. And, yet, there are folks out there that think Ice-T is this legit rap artist.
Doesn't an artist's entire life and career still matter when you consider their art?
Doesn't Ice-T's post-rap career and lifestyle discredit him, whereas Dave Chappelle marrying an Asian woman help his credibility as a comic that plays the race card? This stuff matters.
