Never one to duck controversy Ice has done it again. IMO there is one sure way to make this album a huge success. Try to censor it
From SFGATE.com in San Fransisco.
Ice-T in Nude Scandal Music stores across America are refusing to stock Ice-T's new album because the cover features the rapper/actor posing nude with his stripper wife Coco.
The album cover of Gangsta Rap, Ice-T's first studio album in seven years, shows him lying on his back in bed with his wife's curvy behind in full view and one of her legs coyly draped over his private parts.
And unless his record label places stickers over the intimate images, the legendary rapper faces a music store boycott over his new cover.
Talking to the New York Post, Ice-T says, "What can I say, I have been doing these kinds of things for years.
"You should see the picture when Coco's leg is not there."

Um... so a bit ew... There's a line between taste and... non-taste. Can't disagree with that one bit Trublu.... But trying to ban it or censor it will only create a demand for it. When it comes to Ice-T the Rap Artist, people have got to know what they will be getting and not react in shock and awe. Ice built a huge career in Rap by being deliberately controversial. He loves this kinda stuff. Best way to handle it IMO is just let it alone. Let's face it this is in bad taste. I as a huge Ice fan know it. I quess what surprises me is that people are shocked. Its Ice man. One has to know what one is getting.

Cause since its Ice, there had to be some controversy. He loves to do this stuff and then stand back and watch for the fireworks. BUT frankly even I didn't expect this

I found the cover... a small picture, but more than enough for me. It's not as bad from a distance....
Did you know that Coco is actually featured on the album?

She is very much a part of every aspect of Ice's life. I still haven't seen the picture. I am sure one of my nephews will get the new album from somewhere then I will see it.

True and people who act all surprised are just being silly. Its Ice. I don't like everything he has done over the last 19 years since his first Album, but I am not surprised. Its what he does Where is the surprise
