Ice-T

Jun 28, 2022 | 42m 48s | tv-14 d,l | CC

Hip Hop was birthed from the Bronx but to New York’s surprise, a harsh reality also lived on the West Coast. Enter: the Original Gangster, Ice-T. Ice-T took a page from Iceberg Slim’s books and applied it to his multifaceted career. He pimped the system to stand the test of time as an artist whose career has spanned over four decades. From “Cop Killer” to playing America’s favorite cop on television, Ice-T’s career and accomplishments have paved the way for artists to emulate his path.
