Ice-T "Thats How I'm Livin' "

Ice-T won a Grammy Award for the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, an award shared by others who worked on the track including Jones and fellow jazz musician Ray Charles.Controversy later surrounded Body Count over its song "Cop Killer", a song intended as a narrative from the view of a criminal killing a police officer, from the National Rifle Association and various police advocacy groups. Consequently, Time Warner Music refused to release Ice-T's upcoming album Home Invasion simply because of the controversy surrounding "Cop Killer". When Ice split amicably with Sire/Warner Bros. Records after a dispute over the artwork of the album Home Invasion, he reactivated Rhyme Syndicate and formed a deal with Priority Records for distribution; Priority released Invasion in the spring of 1993.

Ice -T was born one year before me and so we both remember life before the Civil Rights Act, and the assassination of MLK. It is true that racism still exists everywhere in this country and there is no excuse for it. But to say it is as bad now as it was when we were kids is wrong. There used to be about five famous black people, total, in the media and entertainment, and the non-famous were still getting lynched. We can all listen to Ice-T's message of hope and truth right now. Much better.

i dont care what anyone says, this is an embarassing as fuck song. "came back to the hood.............the homies had done good", like how illiterate is Ice T not to be a lil more creative in the creation of his songs. And the chorus, dont get me started on the chorus. Stick to t.v crime you fuckin fool. Lol he's still trying to rap, funny as fuck.

@fuckenskateordie Well, ICE T has lyrics going for him and what he talkes about is real. Lil Wayne talks about being a Blood and at the same time he kisses Baby (Birdman) on the mouth. What is real about that?
