It's weird how articulate he is in comparison to rappers today.

Ice-T has so much style

This is the most honest and courageous interview i've ever seen.

"I'm not a cop killer, I'D BE IN JAIL!" lol...this was a really intelligent interview, I gotta give it to Ice

He has mellowed out alot since then. I remember that interview and the young ice t. I've been a fan for decades....

A true pioneer of rappers who gained respect from the East Coast back in the day.

I love everything Ice T said, makes perfect sense. It sounds (just like today) that Conservatives back in 1992 demonized him from the start and weren't even interested in hearing his side of the story. At 5:10 to 6:35 he hit the nail on the head, that Middle America freaked out when white suburban kids started getting into him. Politicians similarly went after heavy metal in the 80s/early 90s too, but the police brutality issue is even more relevant today. This was years before social media, so this appearance was even more important for getting his message out. He clearly said there's good police too, but he was justifiably pissed off at the bad ones who brutalize people.

So well mannered and outspoken.. He's a true MACK

Ice T kickin that knowledge

even 2pac was inspired by this guy i love ice it,he's O.G.

He dropped science!

Tell 'em T! Back in those days rappers were actually INTELLIGENT and took PRIDE in that. Chuck,Ra,Ice,KRS,Cube,etc. I miss those days. And what he said about Arnold is true. And what's more powerful,SEEING people getting killed or HEARING it. And what he said about white kids (which is positive) NOT wanting to be racist. I remember this episode and probably have it on tape somewhere.

Ice T like, I didnt buy these fresh kicks for nothing

same bro, i'm a rock music type guy but i also like early rap music

Ice T dropping jewels.

Very cool interview. Like he said, he plays a role like an actor. He's done it for many years and is still doing it. That's Ice T!

Word! and it's still true today

Ice-T is the man, he has always been a cool cat, the iceberg was the first hip hop cassette I bought at 11 years old back in the day, always loved Ice

words of wisdom!!

real smart dude. great interview.

I never realized how intelligent, and articulate Ice T is. I'm proud to claim him as one of my own.

Damn... Ice-T is just straight up and a lot of people cant handle it! Real talk s0n!

love ice t. wish there were more like him. positive rap star.

Ice-T is so awesome! He's such an intellegent and insightfull person. Thanks for posting this interview.

Ice T is very articulate. I wish most rappers today could hold an intelligent conversation like the old cats like Ice T, KRS One, etc.

"All I did was make em a theme song" AAAhahaha!

He knows exactly who he is. That was a good watch. Rappers of today, what on earth are their priorities?!!!

I like how he wore Red N Blue

ice-t handled this pretty well

He made nothing but valid points in his defense.I think what made him such a threat was;he enunciates!You can understand every word he says.Some rappers muddle their words so badly,you wonder why they even bothered.

i saw Body Count live on the "Murder 4 Hire Tour" in Germany 3 years ago...was amazing!!!!

Ice t is a smart dude

Idk what tf is up with black people today, but this is the black America I once knew and loved. Unapologetic, articulate, political, educated, street savvy, and black men acted like real men.

Those were true words right there man. I mean damn!! new rap can't compare to that. Ice-t is so intelligent, I'm 16 now. And damn i wish i was born back in the 80's or late 70's so that i could really grow up with hip-hop and all that. but i'm in the gay century where nothing makes since anymore.and real hip-hop has disappeared, and mainstream just sucks.

This is a great interview, instantly added to favourites. I gotta find more now :)

1st rule of life never take anything too seriously

Great interview by IceT!

Yo man this video was good, is there a part 2 as well?. Ice-t is one of the most intelligent rappers to grace rap. Listening to him makes me realise how dope Hip-Hop was back in the early 90's.

1:50 that needs to be made into a movie.

Thats my man Ice T right there, I will always have much love and respect for him

Ice-T definatly a smart individual he made some good points on this vid,

My parents never infringed upon my musical choices and let me make decisions on what I liked.. they gave me advice but they never tried to rule my life. Freedom of choice is great!! I listened to a lot of rap in the 80’s and it was no different in what they were relaying about corruption and government intrusion than what metal was about as well, a truly eye opening time!

He was just talking about cops who abuse their power cause they feel like it. he was never talking about all cops

Loved Ice t growing up..I was one of those white boys buying up his stuff. hehe, funny seeing Hall again too

It's funny how audience had loud applause on d views of Ice, but totally clueless of what he's talking about.

That's not just a talk show, that's ARSENIO.

The great thing to me is, people are still talking about this 20 years later. :D

Early 90's :: you come on Arseno Hall wearing blue and red; AND you a gangsta rapper --->>> you know you a real one 😉

"man i'm worrying bout where my socks are at" hahaha but for real, this guy talks the truth big up!

I've seen every episode of SVU!

intelligent and honest man

God love Ice T real og

My Uncle Ice T is really smart he’s a 100 dude Real talk

Greatest rapper of all time

this brother knows whats up.

Love listening to Ice-T talk- very intelligent.

I've never been a big fan of rap music, however Ice-T is one of the few artist who has stayed true to his beliefs and has created a very respectful carrier. He speaks intelligently unlike 90% of other folks in the rap industry. I couldn't agree more with him on his views guns, He isn't afraid to speak his mind. His character on L&O SVU is great. Keep up the great job!

Well Spoken Man.

Ice T is a damn legend for sure! Mac Nifty wz here to support T!

Ice you are the MAN.

I'm surprised they allowed him to use the N word on a talk show.

7:13 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i ♥️♥️♥️♥️ it!!!!!!!!!

cop killer should never have been banned and should still be on the bodycount album

Damn ICE predicted Christopher Donor 20 years b4 it happened even tho cuz was a cop but still my nigga real !!!

Still one of the realist

Ice T got me into HipHop. And i love the fact that 15 years on, Ice T is still causing debate on U Tube. ps i'm white and did buy all the cd's.

all I did was make him a theme song - A1!

lol he put them in there place, good interview

Great Video. Intelligent man!

3:58 Ice t be touchin yo thang

That chain doe ❤🖤💚

What young artist/rappers take for granted today is that NWA, ICE T, 2Pac, Geto boys, 2 Live Crew etc really fought the good fight in terms of lyrics and censorship and for the most part they ended up winning. Now artist pretty much say what they want without the government trying to shut their whole shit down. And vice Presidents trying to rip their album of the shelves and band the music. They went through that, so now artist don't go through that!

"Maybe these cops are scared because most of them know they're wrong"

wow wow wow ice t is a intelligent brotha

Wow I remember when there was all this controversy and I had to fight (verbally) to carry on listenin to rap and gangsta music with my parents cos of all this bullshit! This was why I loved Ice!

Yo, I don't give a fuck about what ANYBODY says, Ice goes hard, and is one of the baddest dudes in the rap game. He tells is like it is, and he makes sure that people know where he's comin' from, and what's why you gotta love him...

Ice-T knows what the fuck he's talking about. Very articulate and intelligent.

ice-t one of the best reppin that west

One Word....Real N*gga, I wish there were more like this dude. Love u man..

you're the man ice! i still have my copy of home invasion...

he a very smart person.

Truth from tha 90z

lmfao I know right? *thumbs up btw* Vanilla Ice was shittin bricks, he couldn't handle the pressure.

fast forward to james freeman and all the cop watchers exposing exactly this issue

Ice is totally deep! What he said at 5:43 makes sense.

My nigga Ice-T......1st time I seen this interview & this is prolly the best interview I've seen. You couldnt argue about wat he says b/c wat he's sayin is 100% true

Ice-T is as sharp as a razor! So sharp and so cool!

That's a shame brother, i would of loved to have seen that performance of Cop Killer. Damn You Tube man!!

dis is one of da best interviews ive ever heard.ice t aint scared of dem bad police and da government.big up all da ppl who spoke against da government and got killed.fuck illuminati

ICE-T has always been one of the most Intelligent EMCEE

It's weird how F🤬CKING AWSOME he is❣❣❣❣

He's talking about social development. doing shit like the rock record, shakes the foundations. shit is real

Well said sir!

This guy is real, I'm an Italian guy from Brooklyn...this guy calls it the way he sees it..hip hop started in the Bronx...that's it I saw it with my own eyes ...it was an east coast thing i...no disrespect to great west coast rappers....every thing in this great land of ours started on this side

Ice tells it how it is - speaks the damn trust

Right on Ice-T!

Ice T a good man.

HELL YEAH, ICE T ON ARSENIO HALL!!!

This is from the Arsenio Hall Show.

I sleep well at night knowing Ice T will kick your butt!
