Ice T Appreciation Thread

[Dirty D]

Been listening to the Home Invasion album this morning. Since I heard the Combat Jack interview he did and started following his podcast I been revisiting a lot of his shyt.

First heard of him when Original Gangster came out 20+ years ago, loved that tape. Bytches 2 and the title track were the shyt to me.

On this Home Invasion album That's How I'm Livin tells his life story, 99 Problems was the inspiration for Jay-Z's hit (Trick Daddy had a good remake of it as well), and it's just solid all the way thru.

Ice dissed the Source so that east coast media bias definitely applied to his legacy. He's not always put up there with the hiphop forefathers like KRS, Rakim, Kane, all the rest of the NY and even down south cats like Scarface. But he's definitely in that class.

Appreciate!

Home Invasion is a good album, OG is still my fav. I slept on him for a while as a youngn but the homies put me onto him with that greatest hits album with the Orange and blue cover

"Black, bad, iron clad, always mad, fly nikka takin off from a helipad......."
"The ultimate male supreme, white woman's dream, big dikk, straight up NIGAAAAAAA"



Not to derail the thread but Original Gangster, nikkaz4Life, Quik Is The Name and Death Certificate all dropped that same muthafukkin year. Was in line the first day all them shyts was released. In Cali yall shoulda seen all the different types of folks that was in line buying these albums. Blacks, white grandmas, cholos, squared up asians, EVERYBODY.

OG is my favorite Ice T album.....Muthafukkaz walked outta class to protest the gulf war back in the day Yall still remember the outro on that album?

I always said Pac was the updated version of Ice T. More of a "talking to you about issues" rapper then an actual lyricist. Also one of the first to really break down that LA slang. Why did I think dude actually grew braids for New Jack City??

 

[I love Latina women]

yes, i approve this thread 100%

rhymes pays and power and o.g. are my favorite albums by him

plus, he introduced darlene ortiz to the world, for that alone he is a legend

 

[I love Latina women]

gotta add this
