    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".

    '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.

    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.

  • @Lilly-tr2gw

    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.

    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.

    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!
