Ice-T always had a deeper message when he was pioneering gangster rap. Not just glorification, he ended with a sobering note of reality, describing the reality underlying the glamour. We need that now.
Im sorry but thats not what I learned in Hip Hop. Ice T was still spreadin knowledge like them rappers in the 70s and 80s but Gangsta Rap really started with NWA and such. Rappers who really didnt offer any positive messege underneath the gangsta rap.
I'll say this, I'm 62 years old. I have been around this rap game since 1975. I have music from both coast in thar time from. Those has to be in my opinion THE hardest track of all times. Born and raised in NEW YORK! Lyrically definitely ahead of its time. Hats off to my bro for dropping the illest track of all time.
I'm 57, we both were there to see it all begin and end, those were some intoxicating times in those days, this young people will never know that type of lifestyle ever existed
It’s a track with several really good lines. But, I agree with you. That line is absolutely crushing. Ice-T knew it, too. That is why he puts to so late in the rhyme, but not at the end. It’s kind of the center of the whole track. Also, right at the end of the line, he drops the instrumental and you just get his voice pumping “…life is weighed on the scale of a triple beam.” He is pushing your attention into the prose, which makes the whole line more powerful. Also, with reference to the other comment, this was put out in 1991. Back then, a moderate precision electronic balance was several thousand dollars and only found in science labs. You couldn’t buy them, just as a citizen off Amazon or something. Every science classroom that had one also had them chained down to deter theft. I wasn’t in the drug trade, but I was in many chemistry classrooms. The effort we had to go to, chaining the balances down in a separate room that was usually kept locked and unmarked…my impression was, there was a pretty significant demand for those balances. So, if you didn’t have one, the only thing you could use was a triple-beam balance. By the time Ice-T is putting this album together…is he still actively involved in the drug trade? Probably not, or not much. His experience was likely mostly from some time in the 80s. Back then, personal computers were uncommon, and electronic devices of any kind were usually shoddy gimmicks or toys. So…yeah, the reference to a triple-beam balance is spot on.
I like the line about " imagine that, me working at mickey dees" ( and the Ad-lib laugh in the background 🤣) then " THATS A JOKE CUZ IM NEVER GONNA BE BROKE, YOU DONT LIKE MY LIFESTYLE FUCK YOU IM ROLLIN WITH THE NEW JACK CREW" now that line right there I have kept fresh in my mind thru my whole life and it's something about having that level of confidence about yourself that you can go thru your life no matter what bullshit they throw at you along the way it does not matter cuz you know and stay up on your grind so well that there's not even a slight chance you will ever be broke and look he never lied! He has only gotten richer the older he gets and he quit rapping 20 some of years ago...he has developed other ways to make money and keep climbing to the top ...ice t is the walking definition of a hustler I got nothing but respect for the man.
Ice T always dropped PURE jewels of wisdom/street survival technique. He's the difference between a selfish scumbag who will lead young kids wrong and into a life that will either land them in prison, or in the ground, and an older, wiser street dude who has walked the walk, knows the temptations of the street, but quietly encourages younger kids to take a good look around and think for themselves, HAVE dreams, HAVE ambitions, HAVE a survival plan, and focus hard on them, or eventually the street WILL get them. Ice is and has always been the latter.💯 Solid brother who deserves all the success he's worked for.🤛
This song is dope. Correction on the date of this, the song was recorded in early January 1991, on the soundtrack for New Jack City in March, then his album May 14, 1991.
Yeah, my dad had the New Jack City soundtrack. I was a youngster when this was out. Christopher Williams song was hittin too. 2 Live Crew song on the soundtrack might have been the heaviest song on there. Memories of Bergstrom A.F.B. (1991) which is now Bergstrom International Airport. (Del Valle, Tx- Austin, Tx)
Born in 1970, in South Wales in the UK. I was into punk, metal and was playing drums at 17. I came across Public Enemy and Ice-T not long after. I started playing Hip-Hop beats along with mostly Thrash Metal and any genre of punk but those Hip-Hop beats really put some groove into my style. Absolutely delighted to catch PE, ICE-T AND BODY COUNT on the same line up at an outside festival. Superb.
And I need my ass beat I'm 45yrs old as many times I saw this video I just realize Iron Mike in the video 😂 this many years later 🤫 keep this own the low and
These comments are so tired. Not every old song on UA-cam requires a statement about how it's better than today's music. It's about as informative as writing a comment that says "first".
Ice firing on all cylinders right here. He really had his flow and message tight as hell. Lyrically complicated but smoother than butter. Vivid imagery with punchlines for days. And then there's that crazy ass beat. It's a beat yo ass beat. A metal roller-coaster through the entire drug game. Yall excuse me but this song and me go way back.
It is amazing how Ice T came about now being who he is today, may God continue to bless him and his family; I seen a picture of his little girl and she looks just like him. ☺️
@@josephguy1291 yeah 1991 was a rowdy year, but man was it a good year for music! I was 11 at the time, so pretty much like the kid watching the TV in this video wanting be like Ice T haha! I also like the songs "Colors" but this one is the hardest record he ever put out in my opinion. 😁
*When we were kids "Our parents* *just don't understand this music"* *Now as parents "Kids just don't* *understand this music" ☺️* *If you're 25 and under listening to this I* *salute you 🙌*
I play this for my kids (well, not this explicit of a rap song) and they think it's weird... lol. They'd rather listen to baby shark (and they're teens). I did get one to like Tom Petty.
I mean unless you count Jay Z, Kanye, J Cole, 50, Game, Kendrick, Tech Nine, logic, Joyner Lucas, Jidenna, CES Cru, Death Grips. Modern hip hop only sucks if you live under a rock and your knowledge of the modern hip hop scene starts and stops at Migos. But really, who cares about being accurate when you can just sit on a high horse and make blanket statements to farm internet good boy points.
the BEST ice T track. excellent flow and raps, and the way he grills that kid on the second verse is hilarious, the kids face is priceless. you know your flexing legacy status when iron mike has a cameo in your video.
N Mansushy I still have one! Bought an old Sony field tech guy to learn how to service it. Other than some new rollers and a spring, it works great. I also have a cassette player in the car. That was a much harder piece of hardware to source than I thought. 😂
@N Mansushy I never had those Craig (brand) boomboxes on steroids. My brother did. It took 10 D-cell batteries. Those things had dudes looking like they only worked out one side of their body. We used it to record Saturday night rap mixes off of a local station (WFXIA - "Foxy 103" - Augusta, GA). Jesus, that 32-33 years ago. Oldhead memories.
Dude, I love your videos, is so weird to find you here!!! Hell yeah!!! Hope u listen to Body Count, the Heavy Metal projecto of Ice T, I fucking love it, ur videos too.
Fuck yeah mang I was born in '79. Not enough space in this comment section to type how much old school shit I still bump everyday. Cheers from western Canada!!
This was the perfect Gangsa Rap song. It displayed the street life, hustle, drug deals, and street activity. In addition, Ice T was educating cats on the negative aspects of the game. Eventually, if you stay on the streets long enough, the law may catch up to you but there is always someone who is going to come up after you and take your spot.
This still remains one of the hardest raps ever spit....classic tone and beat subject matter and message just as relevant today as it was 30 years ago......timeless jam!
Classic, Ice T doesn't get the credit he deserves for putting West Coast Gangsta rap on the map, he's the one who started it, not Eazy E and NWA. He got the game from Schoolly D in Philly and brought it back here to the west.
I have been listening to Ice since he hit the scene and his music was taboo. I was in elementary school. I am now 43 and his music is as hot now as it was 30 plus years ago. Definitely my favorite!
Me too man. I was in my crib when I first heard this and was 5 months old. I bitch-slapped my mom hard 'cause she a ho. Then I shook down my dad for some Gerber's and when he looked at me kinda hard so I popped his ass with my 9. That was a good day. I won't even get into what I did to the babysitter in the nursery room. She was a ho too.
The beat on this song is as tight as ever and really helps drive the smooth flow that Ice-T lays down. When this song came out it was super pumpin', I remember lying in my bed and hearing this song and just feeling its power back in the day. It really was something like it is today. It made you want to get up and be active.
I’m a 90s baby, but this is what I bump. People my age don’t even know who Ice T is or his music. I’ve always been an old soul trapped in a young woman’s body. lol Ice T was amazing! miss him as an Emcee.
Most people don't realize Ice T wasn't glorifying the life. A lot of his music was a warning about what life was like for minorities in the 1980s. Looking back on the reality of the 1980s, Ice T seems like CNN for those without a voice.
I'm glad his getting his flowers he will be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on his 65th birthday which I think it's on the 19th. He shoulda have received one years years ago well deserved Ice T.
Such a strong song. Goddamn. I remember hearing this album for the first time on headphones, was like a 2 hour action movie playing in my head. Relentless storytelling.
Say what u want, I was there in the beginning....I KNOW what I'm talking about ....Ice T killed it here...and I'm east coast...just giving respect!....
I was born in the 40s, and this is my all time favorite! My sons took the tape away from me bc they said 'it wasn't good for me!' I bought another one!! That whole New Jack City is the best!
Can't believe this dope track is already exactly 30 years old but sounds like it just came out yesterday just as fresh as when NJC was release into the theaters still remember watching it when it came out(a sick flick) this takes me back down memory lane back to my younger years
I LOVE this. ICE-T broke it down. It looked like he was glorifying it early on and then in the end of the video, he goes to jail. This is when rap was easy to defend cuz it was MUCH smarter than 2day.

"Pregnant teens, children scream. Life is weighed on the scales of a Triple Beam!"
That line literally blew my mind 31yrs ago!
It's a good line but in reality a triple beam is a horrible way to measure the weight of most drugs.
@@chownful in 1991?
It’s a track with several really good lines. But, I agree with you. That line is absolutely crushing. Ice-T knew it, too. That is why he puts to so late in the rhyme, but not at the end.

It's crazy to think this came out 31 years ago (May 14, 1991) - AND IT STILL CRUSHES!
So he had to be in 30s when this song came cause he's 62 or 63 years old wow I can't believe the song and movie is 31 years old.

I thought this came out in 90 and ice T played a cop in new Jack city very well too…

Eventually, if you stay on the streets long enough, the law may catch up to you but there is always someone who is going to come up after you and take your spot.
I was 12 when this song came out. It was my favorite one from the movie. I had to listen to it as an adult to get all the gems.
It's a perfect tale for business of any kind, including the legit world.
Think of what professional athletes experience. There's always a new generation.
You cannot tell me that his music has not influenced hip hop. Song still go hard!!

well, although I'm 18 years old, I feel ya ;)
32yrs ago when did jawn premiered on Power 99 in Philly......I was extremely hyper off dis jawn. Now I'm head noddin like crazy
One of the greatest albums.
Fire from beginning to end no let up, and the beat 😱
First off to have Mike Tyson in your video was priceless back then, and this dude lyrically KILLED this!!
"New Jack Hustler" is one of the greatest social commentary songs ever, let alone hip-hop records.
CLASSIC
You better preach 🙌🏿
@@Dice69aooooww save that bulls**t! Because some of those people you look up to did the most to build wealth
Preach brother preach
Most people don't realize Ice T wasn't glorifying the life. A lot of his music was a warning about what life was like for minorities in the 1980s.
Looking back on the reality of the 1980s, Ice T seems like CNN for those without a voice.
Man his flow on this song is like fluid. Seamless profection from the original gangster.
The Grammy Hip-Hop performance triggered this one!! Ice-T, the Cali Rap Emperor!!! 💘 🎶 💃 🚗 💰 😍
I'm glad his getting his flowers he will be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on his 65th birthday which I think it's on the 19th. He shoulda have received one years years ago well deserved Ice T.
Such a strong song. Goddamn. I remember hearing this album for the first time on headphones, was like a 2 hour action movie playing in my head. Relentless storytelling.
Lyrics go hard man. Deep
Hands down...Ice T is the man! I still love this song 29 years later
@marcus burnett "eff you! I'm rollin with the New Jack Crew....and imma hustler....H.U.S.T.L.E.R. hustler"!! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾😀😀
@marcus burnett 😀😀😀
Born 78 still bumpin this in my system
Say what u want, I was there in the beginning....I KNOW what I'm talking about ....Ice T killed it here...and I'm east coast...just giving respect!....
"I'm raised like a pitbull, my heart pumps nitro..." my favorite line.
i always thought he meant glycerine.. i shouldn't even shock myself.
All I think about is keys and gz imagine that.........me working at mckie ds!!!!!!!!
The change up in drum percussion adds to the intensity of that part of the song.

I was born in the 40s, and this is my all time favorite! My sons took the tape away from me bc they said 'it wasn't good for me!' I bought another one!! That whole New Jack City is the best!
Dang your pretty old no offense at all
@@theterpenater6414 yes, I am! Can't be offended!
Your a real OG
Man one of the funkiest tracks in rap
Ice-T one of my favorite MCs
I was born in 95 and listen to the old-school (timeless) hip hop.
ICE T is a underrated G-O-D in Hip Hop done it all at the peak!!!!
Can't believe this dope track is already exactly 30 years old but sounds like it just came out yesterday just as fresh as when NJC was release into the theaters still remember watching it when it came out(a sick flick) this takes me back down memory lane back to my younger years
Love the shot of the CELLPHONE,suitcase and a cord just starting to influence the new world,who bloody knew.
This is great music, great voice, great delivery, great lyrics another word timeless music. Tracy and Darlene Forever.
I LOVE this. ICE-T broke it down. It looked like he was glorifying it early on and then in the end of the video, he goes to jail. This is when rap was easy to defend cuz it was MUCH smarter than 2day.
I was born in 80 and still bangin this jawn in 24. Yay e yay.
Tyson the only early athlete that hung around rappers and they feared him
auqui shakur rappers and drug dealers
Mike Tyson was heavily involved with the 80s hip-hop scene. That's back when this was underground music for outsiders.
One of his closest friends was homicide, the dude that shot 50 cent
I'm pretty sure *EVERYONE* feared Mike Tyson back in the 1980's!
Around real gangsters also lol Tyson was all over
I was a gangster back then, hustling. Still ill in 2021. Ice-T is a dope rapper!🤬
This is one of my favorite songs of all time 💯
So much flow so much coolness
Tyson looking hard af.... He instantly ads cred to your video
Truth
And that was the young gangsta mike too😬
@@northernking6610 he was such a badass, one of my favorite heavyweights. Tyson in his prime against Foreman in his prime would be cherry af!
I don't know if Ice won a Grammy for this one but he should have . I love blasting this hit!! " I rage like a Pitbull, my heart pumps Nitro!"
2022 absolutely beautiful. My daughter never knew music like this.
The age of the Hustler with a message
Jarrel Ely cornball.
Jarrel Ely I thought you were saying that was a dope match off. I don't know of it ever happening but compared fresh prince is a cornball yeah.
