Ice T, the Body Count Album, and Shareholder Uprising
Ice T (Tracy Morrow), is a black rap artist signed under the Time Warner Lebel, released an album called in 1992 contained controfersial song, “Cop Killer.” The lyrich included,”I’ve got my twelve-gauge sawed-off….I’m ‘both to dust some cops off….die, pig, die.” The song set off a storm of protest,from law envorcement groups, Charlton Heston as police spokemam denounced Time Warner Executive because the album is a unethict song. One police officer said the company had “loss its moral compass, or never had it”. One shareholder claimed that Time Warner was always “pushing and evelope” with its artis, like Madonna with her sex book and much another kind of film was production, critized the religious, amoral, and much of other.
Much of group ask for album to be pull, bt the Levin Responden said that would’t be pulled because the Time Warner would sponsor a TV forum for artists,low enforcement officials, and others to discuss such topics as racism and free speech and Time Warner will increase dividents. Why can be like this? Ethict was change by money.
In other case, David Geffen as chairman of Geffen Record ever refused to release Geto boys because the lyrick too, and Jerry Greenfield, cofounder of Ben & Jerry Homemade, Inc. , responded that “songs like ‘Cop Killer’ are’t constructive, but we as a society need to look at what we have created. I dont condone cop killing. But to rich more just and equitable society every one’s voice must be heard.”
In August 2002, protest against cames, the song had grown and sales suffered. Ice-T made the decision him self to withdraw “Cop Killer” from the body count album, but some store owners refused, saying there was muchworse recourds. Oh my god!!! Why they don’t care with ethic, it is bad learned,. By February 1993, Time Warner and Ice-T agreed that Ice T would leave the Time Warner label because of “Creative Differences.”. But in an ironic twist, Ice T is now a co-star on the NBC television series law and order: special victims unit as detective Odafin “Fin”Tutuola, partner of Richard Belzer’s character, Detective jhon Munch. In 2004, Ice T introduced his own line of clothing, trend among rap music stars. He had been on a six tear hiatur from music because of the death of two his group members.
