This is Ice T, the gangster rapper.
This is from Ice T’s first life, as a breakdancer & not a very good one at that. Pay close attention to the lack of backspins and the really expensive dance studio as well as the flailing arms and the cut off shirt that reads Ice T. How gangster is that?
Next, Comes Ice T, following his first resurrection where he came back to life as a gangster rapper, so gangster that he claimed that he was the ORIGINAL gangster. Notice how now he even says he WON’T dance? WHY WON’T YOU DANCE FOR US, ICE?
Next, comes Ice T as a punk, not a very good one at that. This MUST have been Henry Rollins’ Fault. I’m almost sure of it.
However many times he switched up his story, THIS is where Ice T starts really contradicting himself. On the soundtrack for New Jack City, the title track by Ice T is called “New Jack Hustler,” the lyrics depicting him being a gangster like he hadn’t played a narc in the movie with the same name! This guy is COMPLEX.
Next comes the final transformation, i give you Special Victims Unit Detective Ice T, play on playa.
Very Not Gangster.
So what have we learned here today? I’d say that usually the people that need to say how hard they are, really aren’t that tough. I mean sure there are a few rappers that maybe sold a few grams, a few hand to hands but i doubt any of them really pushed weight with the exception of a few emcees that have the court cases to back up their claims.
But even then if we the viewers can justify someone as legitimately gangster because they’ve been pinched then we’re ALL missing the point. It’s just a facade. Ice T acting like a cop is the SAME as Ice T acting like a dancer or a gangster or a pimp and a punk! At the end of the day Ice T is an actor, a life long actor, fitting rolls and molds he needed to play in order to pay the bills.

The funny thing about Asher Roth is that, as much as you want to think of him as an Eminem stan (ha) & as much as he channels Marshall’s lyrical ability, he is still an emcee all his own. He seems comfortable on the mic, confident that he’s already found his voice & rightfully so. Peep this performance he put down in LV, freestylin’ with Mr Mos Mos.
If you feelin that shit, peep this: Asher Roth – The Lounge
And just for fun, this is a verse he dropped on BET of all places:
Swaggered Completely from Shake. One of several dope emcees coming out of Canada as of late, JD Era goes in on Kid Cudi’s ‘Day ‘n’ Nite.”
Shine A Light On The World…
Back At It Bitches!! This blog from this point on is in the name & celebration of music, art, writing (sheer creation in general) & the pursuit of freshness! I was inspired to resurrect ‘thekidswereneveralright,‘ my old blog in an attempt to share my passions with as many people as possible.
Now more than ever my tastes and ideals are ever changing, revolving around my own primitive notion that everything has the capability to be called or even consitered “art.” With that said, in the coming weeks I will begin showcasing & interviewing several artists, all from different perspectives, backgrounds, & mediums. I’m talking emcees, producers, photographers, painters, graph writers, ghost writers— WHATEVER, if you got talent you fit the bill. I hope to make this site something of a stepping stone, the very center for which inspiration could be drawn and exchanged.
So thank you for visiting Word Premier, feel free to add me to your blogroll, comment &/or email me.
