  • Oh my god this is so old school...The album Original Gangster is a gem and is on par with Straight Outta Compton, Illmatic, Ready To Die, Reasonable Dout, Me Against the World, It Takes A Nation, Its On 187um Killa, Paid In Full, Critical Beatdown, Enter 36 Chambers and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx! Classic

  • I DON'T REALLY BANG WITH NO ONE IN THE INDUSTRY LIKE THAT!! BUT I GOT TO RIDE WITH THIS KAT!!! THIS IS ONE OF ICE'S ALL TIME GREATEST HITS!!! NOTHING BUT LOVE AND RESPECT FOR YOU ICE!!!! I HOPE YOU SEE THIS POST!!!

  • Such tight lyrics it makes my freaking head hurt!

  • Has anyone ever really listened to the lyrics, he's not promoting this lifestyle, he's saying it's all a setup and that it's actually killing his people, but because of the lack of education and the dangling the carrot on the stick in poverty stricken, public assisted neighborhoods by shadowy people, it's creating genocide amongst his people, he's telling a story vividly first person but really in a third person format...a lot deeper than just a beat, bass and some words...should really listen

  • Ice-T's lyrics make me LOL, so funny

  • lyrical terrorist

  • Time doesn't affect this song, in special that excellent frenetic and unforgettable rhythm. Even after it is over it continue shaking the walls. "You don't like my life style...?" --and Ice-T went one step forward from the Isaac Hayes classic. This time nobody told Ice-T "Shut your mouth!" --hahaaa!

  • THIS IS MY MAIN MAN FOR LIFE!!! THIS SONG ICE T CANNOT BE TOUCHED!!!!

  • Respects to all ghetto youth who sell drugs ..people are quick to critizise a situation they know nothing about

  • You don't come up much And you better not Watch out! Another roll drops! I gotta get more Contracts Than you got! So what if some General Contractor get naught! That's how the job is bid & I'm takin' it The competitions' cheap But I beat them on quality Certification? "Pro"! And I get jobs with ease!
  • But Roofin' I know And that's what I learned I gotta get paid I got money to earn With my Poppy Out on the roof, Kick back, Crack a Pepsi and laugh! Cool out and watch my new Truck gleam Is this a bump? Or a messed up seam! So think twice If you're canvassing my block! You want to get dropped When the roof gets hot? Since a teen I have seen So many squares That it's obscene!
  • I had nuthin And I wanted it Your ceiling had some water And you called it in Then your ceiling Commenced to leaking With my truck, My repair came speedy! Got me fixin' Everybody's wet spots Every flat that I do Another roll drops! Waterproof the plan And that I understand Damn! I got tar on my hand!
  • Here I come Time to get paid off As I stride My tool belt sways back and forth I care nothin' bout heights And that's evident All I love is my gun And puttin' coils in it! You lazy, Don't bring it. In the end I will seal the seams in this system. I learned NOTHING in school Drove me berserk Hit the roofs with my Pop's And now I got work!
  • That's a joke Cause my pockets get fatter When I die It'd be from falling off a ladder! You don't like my prices? "F" you! I'm rollin' with my own crew! And I'm a Roofer... ...R-double "o"-F-E-R... ROOFER!
  • Watch out! A shingle just fell down Ease back, Because it weighs at least 5lbs Out the way, It's the best made Waterproof! It last longer that A.I.D.S.! Got my crew in check I bought a new Ford So much work That I never get bored All I think about is Squares & more! Imagine that! Me workin' for Salvatore! (my former employer)
  • [Yo man you know what I'm sayin?

    You got it goin on my man,

    I like how you're torchin' down.

    You got the fly trucks, the crew, the tools!

    Look at that hammer right there,

    I know it's steel, it's gotta be steel!

    Man, you the flyest Roofer I seen in my life!

    Yo man, I just wanna drop rolls with you man,

    How can I torch down?]

  • I got no time to lose Jobs to gain In my truck, I always got membrane. Of course I can fix leaks You MF'n right Quick when I shingle Check my lines Keep my seams tight! So many squares at a time (you'd) think there are 12 of us 19, I had a $30,000. truck! Pay me later? I ain't goin' fo' it Get my forks, I'm going to go re-rip it... ...cause I don't want to hear that crap! I'm proud to be a New Jack Roofer!
  • Roofer! Word I put the shingles on Nail 'em up Then the "F"n leak is gone So many squares Sometimes it's absurd Last thing I sweat? Building Inspector! Move like a fly when I climb up A flat is next BANG another roll drops You gotta pay me cash Cause if you pay by check Then the IRS will get upset!

  • It don't take a gang to be a gangster.

  • I agree.

  • I'm raised like a pitbull, my heart pumps nitro....

  • Rap in the early 90s was the shit

    Rap today is shit

    THERE'S A DIFFERENCE!!!!

  • @EminemFan202 You can't be more true and I don't care if it's my age showing, FTW!

  • New Jack City. big film. big tune on the soundtrack. respect to Ice- T on this one.

    ♫fool, i'm the illest. bullet proof/ i die harder than Bruce Willis♫

  • I was 9 years when this song came with thew movie... 20 year later and still the shit

  • My mom got me on this. (because she loves New Jack City) I use to laugh listening to it. But I love it.

  • how could u dislike this? faggot ass motherfuckers. this shit is hardcore

  • Super Strong... THAT is how RAP suppose to get thrown down.. BIG UP ICE T: Old skoola 4EVA!!

  • This a cold-assed track right here!!! Timeless classic!!!

  • When I was hustlin' back when this cut came out, I thought I nino brown, even though I was only makin about $200 every 2 weeks. I coulda had a job and made more.

  • This takes real talent - Ice had to balance the syllables/ tempo on each line, get the ends to rhyme and yet have it all mean something. The true mark of a gifted poet.

  • FUCKING SICK!

  • This song opened my eyes to rap an I haven't looked back!

  • i cant believe this hasnt had more views , this is one of the best rap songs ever made .real lyrics and not the same shit repeated over and over , come back  ICE T !!!

  • Cool out and watch my new benz gleam...fuckin'yeah !!

  • i love the is this a nightmare or the american dream part

  • New jack in the house:)

  • soulja boy ain't nothin' and if u don't like that f.u. too foo!!! yeah i'm talkin' 'bout YOU haha. all praise ice t the first real westcoast gangsta rapper. ice will superman that hoe foreal haha. i don't give a damn who i offend but ole skool hip hop is waaaaaaay better than this new skool wackness and i'm only 20.

  • This was his best work by far. I agree. Today's Hip Hop is STRAIGHT GARBAGE!!

    Trash. I can't believe people are buying some of that crap that's out there now.

  • Raised like a pit bull, my heart pumps nitro!! Trigger ...Mcallen, Texas

  • 2:01....IF You dont like my lifestyle FUCK YOU ...

  • ice t jus owns soulja shit

  • Bulletproof...I die harder than Bruce Willis. Awesome.

  • Foo' I'm da illis!

  • soulja boy can't touch this

  • the orinigal hip hop!

  • Rap is about NOTHING now! This was the real thing. Public Enemy. X-Clan. Eric B and Rakim. NWA. Today's rappers sound like kids playing tough. And no, it's not my age showing. When I was a kid I hated fake shit too!

  • yeah you are right.... but from ice t only this song is great...

  • My thoughts exactly.

  • Alot of rappers are fake nowadays to just doing it for the money and nothing else..Original rappers were about being heard and letting people know how it is in the streets but now you got fools like Drake who's from canada had a great life and was on degrassi but is labeled one of the top rappers nowadays.....And sad how dumb ass people support that shit

  • @mindstormsabrewin Word, these new age kids are backed by corporate faggets and not the real representation of the life they babble about. Fuck the shitty lyrical skills, no knowledge gimped new age. Rhymes like these are timeless and destroy these new age clones of a wankster.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheStevePearce If by old school, you mean a sick lyricist as opposed to these new age faggets who spit nonsense that doesn't make sense or rhyme then ya. All the queers you listen to probably drop copy paste lyrics from the masters and walk with shitty southern beats for crutches. It's no wonder you accept shitty quality in your art, you spelled 4 words wrong in an incomplete sentence.. Lol old school players to new school fools.

  • @mindstormsabrewin ur 100% right, i love all the nwa, ice t , ll.cool, and all the old skool, big up.

  • @mindstormsabrewin AGREED 100%!

  • @mindstormsabrewin

    im only 13 (my youtube doesnt show it like dat cuz i made 2-3 years ago) but i hate the new bullshit so much. no offence, but id be kkk then lil wayne's friend or family member....or drake's.....or soulja boy's.....

  • @mindstormsabrewin same here son... Yo remember when biting was not permitted? Now shit is law... Niggas used to get ran up on and checked for biting, now these new niggas just roll with shit. I'm glad I came up in that raw era, 77 born, raised in the 80's and 90's.

  • Favorite part is at the end from new jack city

    New jack new jack new jack new jack H-U-S-T-L-E-R Hustler!

  • This is hiphop at its realest. Edgy hardcore rhyming. The way it should of maintained itself not like the weak blowhards you see today. Ice man HOW CAN I BE DOWN :) Your a Legend dude. Thanks for bumping up the skills when you brought this to the streets back in the day. Hiphop thanks you for your talents and bringing the rap to another level.

  • This some heavy shit !!!

  • Nice track! Got the Album "Original gangster" from 1991!!!

  • Evidently soulja boy has never heard this.

  • i heard that

  • Nino died! IF Ice-t wasn't playin a cop Nino wouldn't have taken the apartment building!

  • Ice-T, Grandmaster Flash, 70's-90's...then the rap died. Ice-T KNEW HOW TO USE INSTRUMENTALS! NOT JUST DRUM-DRUM-DRUM...Listen to Bodycount on the O.G. Album. Then everyone ripped "OG" in the late 90's nearly 6 years post his "O.G." album. First and last O.G. who went Hollywood, and all about getting paid. SVU Baby!
