On December 16 at 10pm EST, the A&E network will air The Peacemaker: L.A. Gang Wars. The five-part series chronicles times of tense street gang mediation in South Central, Los Angeles, as seen by professional gang mediator Malik Spellman. With over two hours of total footage, the premiere episode on the 16th will be followed by a second episode right after.
The Peacemaker: L.A. Gang Wars is executive produced by rapper/actor Ice-T. Ice is a pioneer in Gangsta Rap, and has been a voice of Los Angeles (and beyond) for over three decades. With a Rap career spanning over 28 years, Ice-T also recorded the series’ theme song.
Malik Spellman has two decades of experience in the mediation field, and is a 30-year native of South Central.
yo.ice is the original o.g. other than king tee and dj unkown(yeah yall, dig in ur hip hop files)see ice has never gotten soft, he took this oppurtunity and ran like hell with it and even tho this five-part series might be well, a lil corny with a preacher dude in da hood trying 2 help young catz, im all 4 it on the strength that its positive,and does have a meaning in a very unorthidox-type-way.a solution is better than no solution,and who knows what might or can happen if ur willing 2 give new things a try. this has been done before so i wont be able to grade the show because i havent seen the show yet but i will give them an E for effort and that is because they are trying to show the reality of this gang shyt and thats real yall fuk peace,.. im outta here.
good to see ice on something again.

hes keepin it real
This show is blowing my mind-Malik is an extremely engaging and articulate MOVER in his community-one that folks like me can only fear without knowing, and read about-in biased frightening news articles. It is imperative, that if you are concerned about ‘ganfg relating’ that you watch this show, and KNOW-it is NOT about YOU-but about THEM!!! Kudos to Ice T for bringing the REAL streets to our homes
Thank You for stepping up to try to bring PEACE to our community, I’m in Philadelphia and have just watched your show,my (3) nephews on Dec. 6th was just arrested for criminal Homocide, this is truly HEARTBREAKING. My prayers goes out to the family that have lost their SON, FATHER, BROTHER,UNCLE,FRIEND! My prayer goes out to my family as well. People PLEASE PLEASE STOP KILLING EACH OTHER. I applaude this effort, Keep going
Spectacular! I am impressed. Ice T, you’re doing a great job. All positive is to the good. We need this in our community. I never understood the division anyway. These young black men have so much to look forward to in our future. We need our men to be strong for our young black women. Please, Please don’t Stop.

THANK YOU FOR STEPPING YOUNG BLACK MAN KILL EACH OTHER WE NEED LOVE……….ICE T I HAVE SOMETHINGS TO HELP ARE BLACK KILLING ARE SELF.MY EMAIL IS LOL.MOOK@YAHOO.COM
This is a good thing Malik and Ice T are doing by trying to bring peace and to expose the efforts. Being a ex-gang member I surely was outraged that this show aired. It’s thousands of teens in this country trying their best to imitate Los Angeles Gang Members lifestyles While billions of dollars are being spent trying to keep gangs out of communities outside of L.A., this show brings them in with a vengance. What will the teens who think they are real crips and bloods do when they see the real crips and bloods their age refuse to have anything to do with peace. ‘THEY WILL SOON ADOPT THAT SAME ATTITUDE.’ Malik comes from Yew York, those youngsters won’t listen to their homeboys from L.A., and you see them youngsters won’t even talk to him. It’s your cities that will be affected by a rise in gang violence, not mines, my city has already been destroyed by gangs.
