It's amazing how Ice-T made an entire "gangsta rap" career off of telling people the DOWNSIDE of the lifestyle and why you should NOT be a "gangsta". Salute to the legend!!
Including Pac, but he didn’t want to listen. You can always tell the real from the fake ones. Real wanna leave the life behind them, fake wanna overload it till the end.
@Great Lakes or maybe hes old school that hasnt heard/payed attention to the lyrics since it first came out. If youre gonna diss someone make sure you dont wind up making yourself sound dumb
In college 1985 I was part of a promo group that put a concert at Sherman Skate rink in Reseda, Ca. Ice to performed, didn’t make much money bit Ice was super cool and easily approachable. For years he was the only artist competing with NY rappers. New York born like me and transplant to LA.. happy for all his success, really nice guy!!
Actually,... the 70s were but the 80s were also awesome, there's no doubt about it but.. which you choose 70 s or 80s depends on when you were born and what you went through, a lot of people do say 80s, it was definitely 70s though
@@martinkuliza you smokin crack or what? Hip hop ain't been a thing in the 70s outside of New York lol and if you didn't live there you probably didn't know much about it. 80s is what made hip hop great.

A DJ accidentally invented hip hop but man there's been some amazing change of styles throughout the last 40 years and I've enjoyed the ride man!!!
Real hip hop legend. The beat is sick .... blasting out my ghetto blaster ....legends. you dont need a pipe ... just need a beat.. stay blessed..peace✌
Was lucky enough to go see the power tour in the late 80s in Leeds..The whole Syndicate was there then Darlene came on stage in that swim costume..The crowd went nuts..Donald D the syndicate sniper was fire that night ❤
Takes me back to '89 when I first heard this on a bootleg cassette a buddy gave me. I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY, as I had never heard anything like this before.
It's hard to believe these days that MC Ice-T has been in the game for so long a true pioneer of gangster rap ice is like fine wine just gets better with age baby

If you were 8 years and older, Power was a must have record back then.
One of the most iconic album covers in HipHop history !
Not even mentioning the back of that cover. I became a man over that.
I love the rhyme pays cover too.
I liked Power. I used to pump LGBNAF in my car cruising around, and got a sicker made up for my back window with Girls LGBNAF on it lol.
That and I played 2 Live Crew at the beach every summer for three years! 😂😂
You mean the back cover 😉

Everything in this is still perfect. I love 80s aesthetics, no matter how cheap and cheesy.
Nothing cheap or cheesy about this brother. This is ice cold.
Thank you for that comment. I agree!!!😀
A Ferrari is cheap and cheesy I don't care what decade you live in a Ferrari has never been cheap
