Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Truly A Hip-Hop Classic !.......2006-12-14

each track from start to finish....AWESOME! even though i'm a female every now and then i got to have some "grit" in my music collection.

"Easy On The Cut....No Mistakes Allowed."

5 out of 5 stars The hardest of his albums.......2006-07-27

The first album contains a couple of thought provoking and good sounding tracks, this one adds to the lot.
Aside of his very old school stuff, I'd stick with this and the 1st album, forget the rest of his collection.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Gansta Hip-Hop.......2006-02-03

Even though today Ice-T has pretty much left the music bizz, and is doing TV and Movies, lets not forget what he contributed to the Hip-Hip community back in the day. Ice-T might have been one of the first ganster artist (his first release Ryhme Pays was released a year before NWA's Straight Outta Compton. Out of all his releases this might be his best effort. Sure there are some filler tracks here, yet the other songs are so good and powerful, that they make up for the bad songs on this. You played yourself and The Peel their caps back are my personal favorites on this, and anyone looking for great Ganasta rap, should ditch thier 50 Cent CD's and pick this one up. Even though Ice-T has made it into the mainstream, I dont believe he sold out. He started out back in the day as a nobody, and as he got older he made some career moves that would get him into Movies and TV. You can't be making Ganster Material forever, as it just wouldnt sound right for 40+ yr old man to be rapping about guns and pimping (would it) He does, however still do some musical work, and his love for hardcore and Metal Music still show as he did a guest appearence on Six Feet Unders "True Carnage" in 2001. Enjoy this piece of hip-hop History.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Gangsta Political Album.......2005-08-05

This is the album that made me love Ice T as a rapper. Like PE this album has political agendas along with Ice T's gangsta story telling. The Intro features vocals from the lead singer of the Dead Kennedys which is a cool collabaration. There's even a rock song that predates Ice's Body Count days. Favorites include Iceberg, Lethal Weapon, You Played Yourself, Peel Their Caps Back, Girl Tried to Kill Me, This One's for Me, Hunted Child, and Freedom of Speech. Highly Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars 1st amendment fueled gangster rap.......2004-09-27

Instead of focusing completely on his regular brand of gangster rap, Ice-T focuses mostly on 1st amendment issues, mainly the freedom of speech on his riveting 3rd album. Ice-T's main concern is the widespread attack on censorship in the U.S.. He delivers clear and conscious songwriting that is sure to make you pine over the issues he lays out, conveying a message that the American government dominates and controls every part of the citizen's lives.

Ice-T throws down some of his best work ever on this record. Some standouts include the brilliant stretch of tracks 4-8. "You Played Yourself", the chilling "Peel Their Caps Back", the funny and hard rockin' "The Girl Tried to Kill Me", the very disturbing skit "Black 'N' Decker" and the turntable induced "Hit the Deck". Other standouts include "Lethal Weapon" and "My Word Is Bond".

This is probably the best Ice-T album behind Original Gangster. The Iceberg includes some of Ice-T's most memorable moments ever captured. It is a must have for any fan of Ice-T or old school rap and hip-hop.
