barriomulas.com - Ice T - The Ice Opinion

Just finished reading Ice T's "The Ice Opinion". Interesting book I must say. While I have never been so much a fan of gangster rap, it wasn't until I had watched a few movies with Ice T in it that I began to grow curious as to whether or not his lyrics maintained a sort of social message. A quick wiki search on Ice T showed me what I was missing out on.

Just check:

When [the L.A.] riots jumped off they immediately rushed up to me and put me on Channel 11. The newscaster said to me: "Ice, stop the riots." Stop the riots? Who the fuck am I?... I said... "I can't honestly say that if I didn't have the money in my pocket, and I wasn't who I was, that I wouldn't be there too"... If I'd been in control of the riots, I would've moved on the police, and I would've been locked up like Geronimo Pratt."

Pick up a $1 copy off of Amazon. Great bathroom read.
