Ice is an elder statesman of hip-hop. A true visionary, business man and example of what it takes to transition from hood to good.

A lot of hustlers get introspective when they get older, a lot of them realize they are deeper people than they knew. I think Ice is one of the deepest....and his perspective is hard to match.

I still can't get through a week at work without listening to Ice-T. The Home Invasion album is as relevant today as it was in 1993.

Ice T. has always been a good interview and lecturer. People tend to forget that Ice was the first mainstream rap " street " artist to do big time talk shows. He's been on them all.

One the coldest intelligent brother s of our time who never sold out. Much love to the ice mic. True mastermind.

Some knowledge for all homies

This is one of the best talks I've ever seen on the mindset of the streets, and ideas on how to rehabilitate it.

listening to Ice-T a lot of what he says makes a lot of sense .coming from a ghetto frame of mind to being a star in hip hop and television he's pretty much done it all but he stays humble to the stuations that life handed him and he adapted with the times .been a Ice-T fan for years from hip hop to his metal band Body Count to Law And Order SVU and his movies as well. 1 of the truest cats ever .he stays real to what he's about and though he plays a cop on tv it's how he sees what a cop should be . loved his last BC album .hope he does another 1 soon . RESPECT AND SALUE TO A TRUE O.G IN THE GAME.

Ice is The Man.....ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

I like that IceT says don't look at me or what I have...look past the facade, he is giving a young person the rare opportunity to see in advance the outcome of bad decisions.

ICE! I love you for always making me think. I used to have to find places to buy your albums at 10 years old that OG album changed my life. At ten years old you revealed to me a natural law MIND OVER MATTER mentalism my mind is a granade CATCH! You taught me that my mind is my greatest weapon so long as you stock up on ammo and you learn to load your own to keep from firing blanks. Thousands of shots later from the bottom of my heart I say THANKs!

Ice T is really the Original Gangster and could write rhymes, arguably the best storyteller in Hip Hop.

Ice has seen more in one day, then most will in their lives. Ice is a legend. 🥇

ice t great talk. what a O . G. he grew up without parents & Many of his friends ended up in Prison glad he overcame the temptation & survived

Ice T is dropping that science. I enjoyed this talk it was so informative and funny.

Ice you are perfect the way you are which is why everybody loves you. the Way Bob Marley was Perfect the way he was , you are the same way. he in his own way and you in yours. you are a living legend

Ice-T is a master mind.

One of the best TEDx talks ever.

kiora from newzealand love you ice I'm 42 now damn time slips by those days so real bestest of the adrenaline days I don't show any puffed up ego no more wear mines in the inside, true to the Word ICE T you are true OG peace to all the gangstas coz we gotta love.

Ice-T is very intelligent! I always loved how he breaks down life whether through his music or being on talk shows! He’s always been real! I let him educate me!🕶️✊🏾

I don't think i've ever heard a better description of why kids do what they do growing up in these rough paces.

I respect this man and have always liked his movies. Like Body Count too.

It's damn embarrassing to have something so simple and basic have to be pointed out to me from this talk. But Ice is right. It's not a matter of race, it's a matter of condition. When there's nothing to lose, when there's no hope, then lawlessness becomes a very appealing option -if not seemingly the only option out. I can definitely relate as I've been there myself. The lengths you're willing to go to when you're in a state of desperation are vast... This principle should be at the forefront of any proposal for a solution and yet it feels so devoid of understanding in our criminal justice system in the US. I hope more people in higher places of influence hear this talk and take it to heart.

Ice for president.

So glad I got to see him in concert. He was most excellent live and had no problem being in a mixed music show that had few rappers, though there punk funk RHCP were there too. And personally, I'm glad he cast a little shade on the current state of popular/mainstream rap and hip hop saying, "I don't know what they're doing now... that booty shakin' stuff..."

He's just a completely enchanting figure. I've been to a few Body Count gigs, and was blown away not just by the music or atmosphere, but by the way Ice would just stop everything in the middle of a song and go off on a talk/rant, both humorous and inspirational. He can do something to an audience - every single person in those gigs came out turned into some kind of little Ice T.

Youngsters need this in their ear everyday from a elder statesman

I said to my mom once, "you'd be absolutely surprised what you can adapt to in order to stay alive." Especially when you're young. I learned it the military not the streets, but I suspect the face of war in either place isn't so different and the mentality produced is virtually the same.

@Tony Jones did you know that Ice-T IS a veteran! Check out the Airborne with Richard Ojeda podcast that was just posted like a day ago. I think you'll REALLY enjoy it~Ojeda was dual forces in the military. I forget what his rank was...cuz you know how they transfer over and change titles once you redo your contracts to reenlist. So I forget which order he was in each force but his career was OVER 20 years between the Army and the Marines. Ice-T gets into a few new projects not just his past. It's an hour long and it was a great video

His name is Tracy. That's amazing, he even referenced boy named Sue. I have a similar ambiguous title. What an inspiration

Much respect for Ice-T. He truly is a genuine soul. I know people in the industry who have worked with him & say he really is genuine. UNDERRATED! He is an amazing artist … rapper, poet, actor, etc… out there motivating & inspiring others. Taking his time to try to help others, while healing himself too 🤗 Again… Much respect to him & sending positive vibes to him & his family.

Really have to love the guy!!

Respect 1000 to a TRUE og, salute Ice T

Iceberg, always real and kicking knowledge.

Dude is a real one

i'm a 50 year old metal musician. I had 3 Huge influences on me growing up .. musically, stylistically, socially .... Prince, Metallica, and ICE-T "Six in tha' mornin' police at my door, fresh adidas squeak across the bathroom floor ... "

He is such a wonderful person. ❤

I feel you Ice T, I have the samelook on my face everyday. People always ask why don't you smile I simply say if I start smiling run. Lol. I have a good heart and all but everybody don't get to see it. I've always liked your look. Just being real.

I have been on a body count kick the last week or2 so my feed has been alot of Ice T. Every video I watch I come away with more respect for the person. The message in this video is pretty relatable to me. I know how things go inside the walls. A positive message can go a long way with someone who just needs to see that it doesn't have to always end up in failure.

This was way more interesting than i first thought, alwways knew Ice-T as a rapper and from his metal band Body Count. He's quite eloquent for a guy from the hood, could listen to him for an entire hour if not more.

Mad respect, Ice-T. Talk about a stealthy innovator. What a life you have had so far.

You guided my fragile mind to be a master and a PIMP! Thanks again Nightmare Walking!

When he says "This is really like therapy for me" the closed captions read "This is really like THEIR beef with me" LMAO

I met ice years ago in the middle of a festival and I said hi, and he was so nice I must of talked to him for bout half hour, what a nice dude

Best Ted Talk I've seen.

I dig that line about Quicksand, that would be a badass name for a metal song. So we'll said.

ice t wisdom in the game is soo underappreciated these little dudes think he some actor nigga was a real gangsta

"Hip-Hop, when done correctly, it's like poetry." Damn right it is, and T, you're doing it correctly.

Ice T is amazing this video should be viral🙏

Ice T has done more for the culture & street then an other rapper that has ever existed. Hes 1st gangster rapper and there will never be one like him after.

all these young punks should start learning!

Ice T has been a hero to me since "Rhyme Pays". One of the best ever rappers of all time. The inventor of the crime rhyme and the original gangsta. Can't forget the metal band Body Count with Ernie C and Beat Master V (R.I.P.). When he dropped "Iceburg" and "O.G." I wore out the tape cassettes and CD's. His films are now classics like his starring role in "New Jack". Love his role on SUV and now the man is packing them in on TED talks! The man has my total respect Awwwight! Word!

Brilliant and perfect.

Surviving the game.

This is art! I wish I could frame this and hang it on my wall.

He And I have a lot in common. Grew up in south central and the system. But I'm 46.

That New Jack Hustler verse was the most profound verse Ice wrote...

I've been a huge fan of Ice since Power dropped. The narration, stories, rhymes beats, quick cuts, all brilliant. Power, Iceberg, Home Invasion, O.G. still my go to albums when I'm in the mood. Introduced a few of my younger collegues to his albums, they only knew him from SVU....

Ice - T keeps it real

He needs his own show on tv

This awesome person is like an Aristhoteles of LA

I Really Respect This Man And The Honesty He Has .. He Is Real Talented Smart And So Kind I Have Such Respect For What He Does He Truly Is The OG

Much love and respect for this great caricature. Listen still to all his albums!

Ice T is a very smart guy and very Cool 😎

Ice T I here you. As for me,after my charge and 14 years has past. I'm still labeled as a Post Criminal. The community I live in are always circumspect and some just won't let go and move on. And then there are those that use my past as there meal ticket to influence others negatively. But, being a Criminal wasn't my choice and I doubt I could have controlled it either. Some people weren't even here to see what happened and what I did, so they don't know the circumstances. But, the law is designed to punish those that deserve punishment and to change your mind. However, not when they use it for themselves. And all that does for your future and there's will be resentment. I only broke the law 1 time. It was bad, yes? I'm not denying it. It, doesn't stop there for law enforcement and cop's. There will always be Police Officers and detectives that will hound you, make you look bad, and try to influence others to stay away from him or her. Those are called dedicated people with way to much time on there hands ✋️. Always jabbing at you like a knife 🔪 never try to look over it. And say, you messed up, but you've been given a chance to do better. I've always stated this? It takes 2 to Tango, im not the only one that got violent. I, guess I hang around ppl like me, because. I'm not constantly being judged.

This dude stays droppin’ game.
