He goes by the name of Tracy Marrow, but is better known by the name Ice-T. He began rapping in the 80's and greatly affected the hip-hop world. What made this talented artist speqcial is because he was also an actor along with his rapping career. He began to act in the mid 80's and realized he had much underlying talent on camera. Many of you have also heard the term "OG" or "original gangster. This trend actaully came from Tracy Marrow himself. Ice-T is not only famous for his terminology trends but also greatly influenced the style of dressing. He helped begin the trend of baggy clothing and such for a new approach to rapping. Ice-T put forth a new style to rapping and included a political stance with in his lyrics. You may still hear of this notorious man today in new rap releases and movies.
Great topic Kyle! I love Ice-T and will admit I'm one of the major losers that watches Law and Order. While Ice-T has a tough guy persona and like you said was the "OG" I like that on the show you get to see a different side of him. However, I DO NOT like the baggy clothes trend you say he started! Tailor your clothes guys! It's much more attractive.
