That priceless moment when the interviewer realized he is actually talking to a smart person not just a guetto rapper and he totally feels intimidated by ICE-T lol

Exactly, Beatriz. He was trying to paint hip hop in a completely negative light and trying to frame the conversation in that way. It was getting on my nerves.

Ice T is a smart dude. I don't agree with all of his idiology, but he's definitely a sharp fellow and I respect that.
Always liked ice T. always does a good interview
I read ice-t's book and it educated me tremendously. Perhaps my greatest quote from ice goes to the effect: " Its not necessarily the gangster, the mobster, or the thug that will hurt you. Its not necessarily the hard core hoodlum, criminal or felon that will hurt you. The person that really will hurt you is the person who just wants to be left alone, and you are f___ing with them".
I'm not a Hip hop fan but i've always consider Ice-T as a incredible person. Look how he speaks and shows how much he cares about his culture. Respect.
"You can rap and not be part of Hip Hop. There's a lot of people rapping now that have no concept of the culture." Fucking Amen to that, just turn on MTV, or any advert or film. I always enjoy listening to what Ice-T has to say, he's always very astute and intelligent, and I have it on first hand authority, a very nice guy too.

Thats why even in Masons and from Culture to culture the deepest knowledge is hidden in the ritual or Dance. I bet if you go to the Dogon Tribe in West Africa which were the first to identify the Sirius Star system their Dance will emulate the motion of the stars as well as their stories and sacred geometry

I mean, he was involved in a conspiracy to murder, along with innumerable other crimes (both violent and non-violent). But he is charming here and really, really good at rapping, so I guess that makes him a good person.
You were a soldier? But after that I started robbing banks............ savage xD

Well Said Ice. Great Interview.
'm no psychologist but it seems to me that the setting is intentionally arranged to put the person being interviewed in a subtly uncomfortable position. The host is seated behind the counter with his waist and legs below and out of site but the guest is seated in a way that may leave them feeling exposed or on display even if only subconsciously. This may give the host a sense of power both to himself and the guest. Just a thought.
Ice T was sharp and rational
Pause at 11:25. That was my expression this entire interview.

I like how he defined hip hop and rap. I never heard this explained before. Ice T also has an excellent speaking voice and is patient explaining things.
Ice T just went up a few notches in my book...was already pretty high.
the intervier a bit all over the place
Fucking intelligent af, could listen to him talk (and rap) all day
He distills the complex associations and integrations very cogently

Ice T has always been a real interesting person to listen to, he is a very aware dude and back when I was a kid he was really ahead of his time. I still remember watching him on Arsenio Hall 25+ years ago. He always knew what would sell and stir up controversy

Ice gives the best interviews he keeps it real. Ice T is Hip-Hop i may not like all his stuff but he is the culture he used to "break" Bboy and MC. He was L.A.' s first Star in Rapp watch doc. "Breakin and Entering" he was breakin in there with his "Radio Crew" thats what inspired the movie "Breakin!"
Most people are ignorant on the origins of this genre, make a documentary without any ideology behind it, just show people how the culture developed. Music like any form of art is a matter of taste and environment.
I never been a fan of ice music but his mind on fire i love that shit the wepon of the words is for real
Ice T man what a legend! Total respect for this man!
Ice T very intelligent artist and poet
Can't believe he's actually an alien and his birth name was Water T... crazy shit
Ice t handled that interview.
i love interviews with Ice-T. he's really passionate and isn't just one sided and his interviews aren't filled with 'umm' and 'errr'
Ice T did an amazing job here!!!!! Some questions could have been answered in such a different way or taken with offence bout he peddled through with such grace!🎉🎉🎉 good job!
It really makes me appreciate Ice T as a person now that I know there’s artists out there that know the difference between hip hop and rap. And that he knows the origin story, that there’s four circles of the culture and understands that. You throw some potato like designer in that chair he wouldn’t know any of that, let alone how to form proper sentences with his words.
5:38 Competitive swimmer here. I actually wasn’t inspired by anyone. I learned how to swim at age 3 and my family moved to North Carolina right before I turned 6. We lived near a YMCA, and I wanted to swim at the pool in the summer. The people there didn’t think I could swim, so they made me take lessons again. When they saw that I was more advanced than the others at the swim lessons, all of whom were older than me, they asked if I would like to swim competitively. I agreed, and the rest is history. I’ve been swimming competitively for about 8 years (I’m 13) and I’ve never actually watched Michael Phelps. I did, however, meet an Olympic swimmer when I was 7. Her name was Lauren Perdue, and I have a signed picture of her. Even though I think it’s cool that a fellow female has won a gold medal for swimming (she’s probably a lot of other girl’s role model), I don’t idolize her or anything like that. It may just be me, but I don’t really idolize anyone and I wasn’t inspired by anything. I swam because it’s one of the few sports I can actually participate in (I’m allergic to everything outside, and a lot of stuff inside), and because I love the water. It’s a part of who I am, and always will be. I guess what I’m trying to say is: you don’t always need to be “inspired” to do something. Sometimes, it’s simply out of desperation. Other times, it’s because you have a talent for it. That’s just my opinion though. I’m sure others have different opinions, and I won’t try to convince them that mine is better.

Remember this is a news show not a relaxed music interview. I respect channel 4 for grilling their guests because most of the time it exposes the people in positions of power who have no clue what they're talking about. I think half the problem Guru is having here is that Ice-T is a rare type of guest with smart in-depth answers

Johnie Sears Incorrect. Guru-Murthy talks to all his interviewees like that because that's just the way he is. He is a snob but not necessarily a bigot. Obviously he didn't grow up listening to gangsta rap and is asking his questions from an English upper-middle class perspective, which is how Channel 4 likes it.
Ice T is my bro i love this guy always will

This interview was the moment I realised that Ice-T had already become Water-T, and was visiting from Alphabetrium.

"I was a soldier...And then I started robbing banks!" Just let that sink in👀🧐

This Interviewer is totally clueless. He is getting on my nerves and from the look on ice t's face he is getting on his nerves too!
He shut him down when he tried to say rapping is just copying each other. Not all rappers sound the same, so what was his point? He doesn't seem to plan out his questions well.
@11:19 “people liking people” Boy, you struck a nerve with the interviewer. You come in here with harmony and all that “journalist” wants is division. Good on you T. 👊🏽
