Body Count is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1990. The group was founded by Ice-T, best known for his contributions to the hip hop genre. Ice-T founded the group out of his interest in heavy metal, and took on the role of vocalist for the group, writing the lyrics for most of the group’s songs, while the music was written by lead guitarist Ernie C.The group’s self-titled debut album was released on Sire Records in 1992.
The song “Cop Killer” was the subject of much controversy. Although Sire Records’ parent company, Warner Bros. Records, defended the single, Ice-T chose to remove the track from the album because he felt that the controversy had eclipsed the music itself.The group left Sire the following year. Since then, they have released three further albums on different labels, none of which have been received as commercially or critically well as their debut album.

The lyrics change …
The lyrics change is ICE-T’s sarcasm – ‘who gave those black boys those rock guitars’? Each time modified lyrics are sung u see ICE’s lips with disgust. This is intentional and planned way or dealing with main stream media censorship bullshit my man.

Matter of fact, …
Matter of fact, look at the description.
Body Count is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1990.
Morons like you divide true metalheads. You break them up into so many genres that you try to dismiss entire bands by saying “Oh, well, it’s just some stupid (insert genre name here)”. I’m reminded of the words of Billy Joel when he said “It’s still rock and roll to me!”

That’s what Ice-T …
That’s what Ice-T was saying, it was a heavy metal band. That’s what they were sold as too when they first came out.

This shows how truly diverse Ice-T is. He can kick down the rap genre or the hardcore metal genre with ease.
