Ice-T, who is also known for his work as an actor, including his role on NBC's "Law and Order: SVU," was already one of the most famous rappers in America when, in 1992, he unveiled Body Count. The band was his tribute to punk/metal bands like Motorhead and Suicidal Tendencies. Almost immediately following the release of their debut, Body Count was denounced by President George H.W. Bush and then-NRA chairman Charlton Heston due to the self-evident sentiments of the song "Cop Killer." During that election year, Ice's record label, Sire, severed all ties to the rapper.
But while he carried on in hip-hop, Ice would return to Body Count, releasing three more records through the '90s and '00s. If the band never made much of a dent after the "Cop Killer" controversy, Body Count's "gangsta-metal" was clearly influential on the likes of Korn and Limp Bizkit. [but BC didn't suck]
Shot in high definition and recorded in Stereo with 5.1 Surround Sound, the dvd runs 60 minutes and lists for $11.98. Body Count's Smoke Out appearance is incendiary despite technical problems and an unsympathetic stage crew. The crowd goes bananas when the band (and Ice's son Lil' Ice) launches into "Cop Killer" like it's 1992 all over again.
