That's now NOT back then. They were making paper in the '80's which is why crime was so high, everyone wanted more money because it was so easy to get because damn near everyone was getting high. I think Ice was just a smart man and knew the violence that came along with drug dealing, especially in a gang infested area, so he chose quick licks which makes sense because even though the money isn't the same it's faster than drug dealing(if you do enough of them) and the risk is lower for violence and doing time. If you get caught with ki's you can get football numbers if you rob a bank or jewelry store maybe 5-10 years and that's if you get caught being that you did it out of town.


Plus, where was he gonna sell it? He didn't live in a area that was neutral. I think he avoided the gangs, because banging was serious back then. He rather do 3 Card Molly, which is pretty petty until he moved onto more serious stuff. But it wasn't as high risk as standing on the corner selling drugs with your blue flag on your left side in 80s Los Angeles.

Don't get me wrong breh anyone that survived that era should get type respect. But was Ice T really doing the dirt :birdman:



Or was he the homie in the back?:jawalrus:
I don't think he was bangin, but he was in the streets. My cousin said he got into it with that nikka in the early 80s over a broad out here in LA:jawalrus:

He may come off as a fake these days, but he certainly earned the right to do whatever the fukk he wants. Dude was legit, most old heads know that. And he did it all during one of the most violent periods in Cali history
