## Description

How Ice-T & Body Count changed America forever with "Cop Killer"! Body Count's 1992 song "Cop Killer" set off a nationwide controversy about police brutality against the backdrop of the 1992 LA riots, including comments from Charlton Heston, Dan Quayle and George Bush. I also talk about Ice T's role in gangster rap (along with NWA's "Straight Outta Compton"), his acting on "Law & Order," the "Judgement Night" soundtrack, 2 Live Crew and more. Find out how Ice-T & Body Count changed America forever with "Cop Killer."
