He took his own life 6yrs ago, so when I seen this post, I clicked with the quickness, totally took me back and it hits home hard, I'm crying while I'm typing this, just thinking and reminiscing about the good ol days and how me and my dad Craig used to blast bodycount in his truck while driving somewhere.. those were def the good ol days.

id give my left nut to of been able to go back then. I was suppose to see them with my friend in 2020. we all know how that ended and my friend passed away that very same month we was suppose to go. so I'm going this year and he's coming with me in more ways than one.

I've always known who Ice T was, and I just assumed that he was an old school rapper that now acts on TV, but I had no clue that he actually was the singer of a metal band. That's freakin awesome!! I didn't even know that he liked listening to metal as much as he does, mulch less that he started a metal band!

Body Count -- they opened for Metallica with Guns & Roses in 1989 at a Day on the Green show in Oakland. Ice-T did surprise me; he would have posed strong competition to any thrash metal band. Since he'd already achieved his status in other "musical flavors," and television characters, why not a title role in every other field, too? Damn. He's a man of many talents.

Ice T has always been one of the most important voices of our generation ("X"). Period. I'm about to turn 41. He's been in my headphones and vhs/DVD players for over 30 of those years. He was the killer of the bully when the bully said watch your mouth. T said naw fuk that. And his word stuck. He brought races, coasts, cultures and even families together over previously uncrossable boundry lines. White kids in a syndicate hats. Black kids in a metal pits. A whole generation of ppl standing up to police and government brutality. He changed the world, massively, for the better! Thats the illest shit a man can do, aside from parent right. And that's kinda it, too. He co-parented Gen X!!! Word. Peace to Ice T. And RIP to the bandmates. They helped bridge a major gap.

But they have my full attention and respect! Cheers to Ice & The Count for being true all these years! You guys Rock!

Body Count has a lot of quality material in their discography. Great stuff man.

Body Count Forever....RIP Beatmaster V, Mooseman, and D-Roc The Executioner...

I came across BC because my roommate at that time used to listen to ICE T rapping, and he got home with the first BC Album one day in 1996 or so... that record blew my mind... was the only record in the house that I had access to and wanted to listen to, so it played nearly every evening for 6 months :) Still llove the band, still love the music!

I'm glad they continued. I do agree that Cop Killer was the best album, front to back, but every album has killer tracks on it. I've been a fan since day one. RIP to Moose, V, and D Roc

thx for this! i love ice since i was little. i remember sitting down with a dictionary (im from ger) trying to figure out why he (and other rappers i listend to at that time, like PE) were so angry.. at first i didnt like BC very much, cause it was rock and that just wasnt my thing. but my uncle (rip❤️️) seemed to be very enthusiastic about them so i gave em a chance.. i saw them live on my 15th bday, best present ever! my mum (rip❤️️) even let me skip school the next day :)

More respect for Mr Ice T . Body Count has made a mark in the Rock Band scene! The slept on icons became super stars!

Interesting how body count still in as relevant as ever. Great documentary!

I think the first Body Count album is one of the best metal albums of all time. The lyrics are pretty goofy at times but the riffs and grooves are fantastic and really different from everything else and just so good. I love that album and always have.

I was into Ice T since his first album. When BC formed T’s passion carried into metal. He did it his way. Raw, with delivery and could Scare you. His conviction is real.

It is easily (in my mind at least) one of the top 5 rock albums of all time....keep blastin' the music Ice !!!

Bodycount been my favorite band the whole time

I still have my original copy i got the first day Body Count came out. I also wrecked my first car bumping 2 18 inch Rockford Fosgate Subs to Body Count!!!!!! That whole album is LEGEND!!!

Man, it IS much better when one of the best actors of all time speaks your words.

ICE-T the only Rapper/Metal singer on a Black Sabbath Album !!! Black Sabbath : “ Forbidden “ Song : “ Illusion Of Power “ Why don’t Revolver do an Article , And Full interview and many pages on this ???!!!

Really cool story, look forward to part 2. First saw BC in Budapest in 1997. Had Violent Demise on tape and just remember hearing My Way and being blown away by the power. Sentimentally my favourite BC album but the most recent ones just sound so fucking epic.

Fan from the beginning. I slammed dance with Ice T at the Hollywood Palladium for Ricky Rachtman Cathouse Anniversary party. We were in the middle of the pit controlling the mosh pit. Body Count were the only black guys at the sold out event.

I’m an old white guy that grew up on heavy metal, 56 years old now , still listens to Bodycount, don’t give a shit about the lyrics, musics awsome 👍

That guy has certainly made his point EXACTLY CLEAR & it’s always been his mentality since Body Count was brought to life right at the height of the Gangster Rap movement in the late 1980s/early 1990s, and Ice-T hass still as ferocious & hard as ever 🧊 Being a huge Melodic Heavy Metal 🤘🏻 fan myself I never imagined that such a great & now CLASSIC band made up of real life gang members/musicians & led by none other than one of the most talented yet controversial rappers in history could gain that level of respect, notoriety & unparalleled success over its 30 years of existence & they’re STILL as unapologetic as back then ✊ 👍 Speaking of which, and I’m making this case EXTRA CLEAR, their now iconic song “Cop Killer” isn’t about killing police but actually tells the story of a dream that Ice had one night in which he becomes fed up with the cops surrounding his home turf & he decides to, much to the chagrin of his neighbors, take matters into his own hands, which is exactly what NOT to do 🏠 🏡 ☝️ 🚔 👮 👮‍♀️

Musicians never really fully understand what their music means to their fans. They don't understand that we feel the loss as if we were in the band, ourselves. What Ice was talking about isn't just glossed over by those of us who love rhis band. We feel it, too. Body Count just gets better and better. I'm definitely here for the ride. Long live Body Count!!!!
