The fatal school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas on Monday (May 23) claimed the lives of 19 children and two adults. As the nation continues to mourn, several members of the Hip Hop community have taken their thoughts to social media, with many calling for stricter gun laws and an end to the insanity.
Ice-T was one of them. On Wednesday (May 25), the Body Count OG tweeted, “I haven’t commented on the Shooting because I still can’t get my head around why MFs wanna kill innocent Children… I’m lost for words. It’s SO Fd up.”
Someone apparently took issue with his comment and decided to use Ice-T’s stacked discography to suggest he’s a hypocrite, which didn’t go over well.
“You have a song called COP KILLER,” they wrote. “You promoted gangster rap and criminality for year. You bragged about trying to steal someones wheels when you first made it on Conan. You aren’t the one to have a moral high horse.”
In true Ice-T fashion, he responded matter-of-factly, “Please eat more dicks.”
Ice-T followed up with, “I love when suckaz get mad at me the call me Old, which is true, based on their age. And Washed Up.. They might wanna Google that one. Lol.”
Of course, Ice-T has starred on the incredibly popular crime drama series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for over 20 years. He’s also landed a slew of endorsements while juggling his Body Count duties and being a family man to wife Coco Austin and daughter Chanel.
In an interview with HipHopDX last July, Ice-T spoke about how his “Cop Killer” persona almost killed his endorsement hustle.
It was difficult because I’m the cop killer,” he said at the time. “Everybody in the mainstream was like, ‘They won’t fuck with you because you’re too taboo.’ And I was like, ‘Right.’ And then Snoop started knocking down walls. That’s my brother. So Snoop was going through doors and I’m like, ‘Look, Snoop’s making it through these doors, let’s try.’
“So the first big one I got was the GEICO commercial with the lemonade. The advertising world was watching and there was no blowback. From there, I did RXBARs, CarShield. You see, people don’t understand but if you look at Shaq, like the one he does for The General, that could be eight to $10 million a year. The numbers aren’t bullshit. You know that bitch Flo from Progressive? Trust me, she lives in a mansion. Flo is caked out.”
Fuck this washed up clown
Eat more dicks, angry black man!
Ice is right the Cop-Killer song/album was decades ago, much like I’m Your Pusha was decades ago (over 30 years ago). Ice was just rapping about selling music with a Curtis Mayfield feel to it. People change over time. Snoop had Murder Was The Case They Gave Me, now he stars in Corona beer ads, other ads with Martha Stewart, and he is always smoked out. I seen Ice give a speech in person at my University, trust me Bruh is official 100%.
The hypocrisy is real. See how Ice t didn’t have a rebuttal. He just got mad like every other black person when they are called out for being a hypocrite.
Eat more dicks!
It was decades ago lmao. The guys been an actor in shows, and commercials. We’re still holding him to the man that he once was decades ago? That sound fair to you?
why not have something constructive to say. eat more dicks is that also homophobia. just say you are wrong you can still feel sad about what happened people can change.
Eat more dicks, Evan
Homosexuality is satanic and absolutely disgusting. Don’t defend that sick, vile, shit.
U punks need to respect the og ice. He was public enemy #1 at the time and fought for our right to free speech. New Jack City is a hood classic and ice t was a pioneer in the rap game. He practically wrote the blue print on the business and how to get different checks after rap.
Back when he put that out shit like that didn’t happen all the time like it does now, in fact I would argue that music like that prevents people from doing things like that and helps them feel understood. The problem and 100 percent the reason people flip and do crazy shit like that is because we’re all in a controlled box nowadays and people can and will condemn you for anything whether you’re a celebrity or not. Expressing yourself is a thing of the past and words are oh so taboo lol
