    I just wanted to say that Ice-T has more talent in his butthole than Jay-Z has in his whole body. [10]

    Ice-T rules. Jay-Z isn't bad, either. But Kendrick Lamar is the 1 to listen 2 @the moment...

    The Art of Rap - Ice T's directional debut was wicked! "Many of the rappers interviewed managed to not only illustrate how rap can and should be viewed as an art form but they also exemplified how the craftsmanship and mechanics of putting rhymes together can be regarded as practically being a science" - read the rest of the review at: http://mumbleinthejungle.com/2012/07/20/the-art-of-rap-film-review/

    Ice-T could not get any more awesome. The fact that he's a massive gamer is just another reason why I love him. By the way, totally agree with kisumisu666!
