Ice-T has never been shy when faced with controversy. Now, a radio station in Budapest, Hungary is being investigated after playing “It’s On,” by the emcee-turned-actor who once crafted the now infamous “Cop Killer.” According to reports by Associated Press, Tilos Radio received an eight-page letter on December 13, 2010 and the ordeal has been plugged, “Ice-T Gate.”
Tilos responded by releasing a letter with Ice-T’s lyrics in English and Hungarian. They also claim that listeners in Budapest cannot understand or decode the meaning of slang terms Ice-T utilizes on the track. Furthermore, Tilos released data that informs people that most of its listeners are above the age of 18.
Ice-T, who originally released the cut on 1993’s Home Invasion, has since responded to this news with some laughter, on his Twitter account.
RT @rog_r: @FINALLEVEL Sorry, but you are officially banned http://j.mp/f73DhF > I love it! The world still fears me. hahaha !
Currently, Hungary is facing some added attention for this new law, one that has many rallying against it. The new law allows the state to monitor private news outlets and provide harsher penalties on what AP calls “broadly defined grounds.”
lol at eastern europe getting american songs 18 years later
WTH? They must don’t get NBC in that country? lol!!! Ice T plays a cop on Law & Order SVU now. Not a threat at all.
Romania is much cooler. They don’t play that shit at all.
i’m from Romania 2…we dont play that cuz our hiphop isnt dead…great lyrics on every song…its a shame that USA still accepts artists like Lil Gayne and the whole YM gimmick
LOL, Backweard ass motherfuckers
And this is what Obama wants to turn our country into
I’m from Hungary, I can just laugh at this and that law too…
Sorry but this song about aggression. In the US that could be also played after 10 pm, here no, everytime. Even if the Hungarians are so undereducated that they could be subjet of kidding by same hiphop masters, they begin to reach the levels of laws in the United Stated, even if they are not yet at this point.
