Ice-T: "I'm A Hypocrite Regarding Police" Jan 18, 2007 - World Entertainment News Network Rapper Ice-T has completely changed his attitude towards police officers, years after he wrote the controversial song Cop Killer.
Ice-T, real name Tracy Marrow, was once a gang member on the streets of South Central Los Angeles, and he sparked controversy when he co-wrote and performed the song Cop Killer.
But he's changed his tune after playing a cop on TV in hit US drama Law & Order: SVU.
He tells the National Enquirer, "I used to hate the cops. But now that I've gone legit and need the cops to watch my house, I don't hate them anymore. I'm a hypocrite.
"Honestly, I think everybody out there is hypocritical about the police. It's like when you're speeding - that's when you don't like them.
"[But] when somebody breaks into your car, then you call the cops to help you. When I was a criminal and I was out in the streets, the police were my opponents, and I wanted to get away.
"But back then I felt they were constantly harassing me and other people in the hood when we were just trying to survive our circumstances. Now that I'm legitimate, I need 'em."

Good article. Ice makes a very good point and I think he's right about people being hypocitical about police, it all depends on the situation and the kind of life you live.

Ice is too cool. He takes this all in stride, and very well. If we harped on everyone for every song they wrote... there would be a lot of harping for a lot of different things.

Ice kinda goes with the flow so to speak. He is just the greatest. On a side note I heard a rumor that Adam Beach maybe replacing him on SVU..Boy I don't know what to believe anymore.

Well, I have a feeling Beach is replacing somebody... as to who yet, we can only speculate. I wouldn't worry too much until NBC makes an official announcement.

I'm a huge fan of Ice-T and I have been for a long time. But regarding the article I believe we're all hypocrits regarding the police. And the reasons are what Ice stated. I would hate the police if they're busting me but at the same time I want them protecting me if I'm in danger or my house is being robbed. So I can totally see where Ice is coming from.

Very true, finfanatic. I have followed Ice's career since his first almbum in 1987. He is a huge success stroy. He decided to use his talents in legal areas and get out of crime. That, IMO rarely happens. He is the best
