Ice T- who couldn't rap his way out of a paper bag played the world like a Steinway with that song. The controversy - correction firestorm - it touched off - including horrified TV interviews with various police chiefs and even the FBI Director generated HUGE publicity. Publicity you'd hafta pay any Madison Avenue ad agency gazillions to pull off.....and all for free. It turned a mediocre, (at best), album into a double platinum hit. Hollywood was right....there's no such THANG as bad publicity! (What's most amusing is that Tracy Morrow...yeah, that's his real name, has made a career from "New Jack City" and "Gangland" all the way to his current gig in "SVU" playing...wait for it....COPS.) Sleeps by day....rides by night, like a mongrel always lookin' for a fight..... |
