Not sure how this will go down on here.. When ever I have posted anything to do with rap on a guitar forum it doesn't usually go down that well.. But I will try anyway
If you haven't heard of Body Count they are a metal band with Ice T on vocals.. So a really weird mix of metal/rap and punk....
Ive always loved rap, not so much all the gangster stuff (even though I like some of it) but more the old school stuff like De La Soul....
Anyway, new album called Bloodlust coming soon and heres there new single..

Ahem...
I got a ho from the east
I got a ho from the west
A ho that likes to jack it off and rub it in her chest
Etc
They make a good racket for a bunch of old guys (Ice T 59, Ernie C 57)!!
I got into guitar music through rap tapes passed around when I was a kid. ("Listen to these naughty men swearing and talking about sex!") I really liked the sound of the guitar parts they'd sampled from G'n'R, Van Halen, etc. 2Live Crew and NWA led to Ice T, and then along came Body Count just as I was beginning to explore original rock albums by G'n'R, Slayer, Metallica, etc. So it all fits together for me.
I had a taped copy of Cop Killer and was aware of the legal wrangling involved for many of these groups. Nowadays, I somehow doubt Body Count will impress me as much as Eminem did in 8 Mile, but I'm willing to give it a shot. It was funny to hear Gretchen Menn recite 2Live Crew on NGIS the other week, though I'm not sure I entirely agree with her viewpoint.
The Judgement Night soundtrack is bostin'.
Great rap/rock mixes in my eyes:
Rage Against the Machine
Biohazard
Extreme
Winger (Tone Loc couldn't make it, Kip did the rap himself)
Downset
I've had far more time for those than for the stuff that has become known as hip hop in recent decades.
All good fun!
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
There goes the neighbourhood!
Ice was the second ever gangster rapper and the first to really put LA on the hip hop map.
I never forgave Ernie C for the Black Sabbath Forbidden album, although it wasn't really all his fault it was such a load of shite.
Saw Ice T at Phoenix donkeys years ago. Ice T did a rap set which was good. He stayed on stage chatting to the crowd as the roadies set up Body Count and they were shocking
Having watched this...
...I really want an Ice Motherfuckin' T chair.
It's good. I'm trying to ignore the lyrics so I don't get muthafucka fatigue.
I'm really enjoying their music! Top recommendation!
