When I can avoid thinking about his "Cop Killer" song, he's "meh"
I understand what you mean, but he wasn't talking about the good cops. I certainly don't agree with killing anyone, but young people tend to express themselves in inapropriate ways. I doubt he would release the same record now having the benefit of time, experience and maturity.
I recall Charleston Heston putting his career on the line over that song and getting it removed from the radio. He was right . . . accoording to his perspective, however, I believe if he had taken the time to sit down and talk to Ice-T about the record, he would have had a better understanding, even if he didn't agree with his tactics.
