#330: Ice-T (Body Count)

Our guest this week is the one and only Ice-T of Body Count. We
discuss the state of emergency in our respective states, the
reality of our country not being prepared for an outbreak and how
he compares the current situation to other states of emergency he
has experienced. We also talk about Body Count's new album,
Carnivore, getting a Grammy nomination for Bloodlust and the
importance of adding Will Putney as a producer. The conversation
then turned back to current events: his experience with police
while growing up in L.A. and how it echoes through today,
information by itself being dangerous without a biased opinion to
filter it, his collaboration with Jamey Jasta and how he thought
Hatebreed were a racist band when he first heard about them, how
you have to check your friends when they display hatred towards
other people, and the true story behind Ice's greatest line in a
film. Petar, Brandon and Sylvia apologize for being annoyed last
week by the coronavirus outbreak canceling concerts en masse,
discuss Ice-T's New Jack City line that's been part of our 20-year
friendship, Brandon pictured in a mullet as a child in a karate
training facility, and much more. Songs: Body Count - “Carnivore"
and “Bum Rush,” Aether Realm - “Slave To The Riff” Learn more about
