Ice-T has had a fascinating career. He was a superstar rapper in the 1980s, but for the past two decades, he’s best known for his role on Law & Order: SVU. The guy who once rapped about killing cops has made a whole second career out of playing one. That said, Ice-T still has a way with words. He got caught up in a Twitter exchange with an irate SVU fan on August 27. He didn’t hold back. Ice-T took the fan to task when they criticized Ice-T and the rest of the cast for making the show “woke.”
The whole thing started innocently enough. Ice-T tweeted that he was returning to the set of SVU to start filming new episodes. A follower then asked whether the show would go back to normal after what he considered a lackluster season. “Did they write SVU back to normal yet,” they asked. “It started to go woke.” Ice-T then wrote back with a pretty hilarious response. “What the f is woke,” he tweeted. “Lol like I give a f*ck.” Why he decided to censor the first f-bomb but not the second is beyond us, but it worked. A second user doubled down on the “woke” accusations with a bizarre and specific explanation as to what the term meant.
“Woke means tearing down my John Wayne statues,” the second user posited. “And forcing me to erect a Spider-Man fountain that sprays gay beer on my lawn that turns it into astroturf.” Ice-T had yet another hilarious response tucked away. “That sounds Dope,” he quote tweeted back. “F John Wayne.” Ice had fun roasting the guys in his replies, but he did drop a third tweet clarifying his political stance. His stance is that he tries not to get involved with politics in public spaces. “I stay outta Political sh*t,” he explained. “Like I said before… The Blue Vs The Red… It’s GangBangin to me.”
Ice-T has acknowledged the complications of playing a cop while being critical of law enforcement as a whole. He told Variety that he can understand why some fans view him as a hypocrite. “People have said that our television shows are police propaganda,” he noted. “I understand that argument.” After noting that he was the “furthest thing” from a cop in real life, Ice-T explained that SVU creator Dick Wolf hired him to play a cop that strikes to do right. “If I play the cop that we need,” the rapper posited. “I won’t have any problems with it.”
Cordae and Anderson .Paak don’t get enough credit. Every song these two make together is a heater, and their latest, “Summer Drop,” is proof. We already did a rundown on the song itself, but the duo have dropped a music video to accompany it. Unsurprisingly, it is also great. Cordae and Anderson .Paak tap into the laid back vibe of the J. Cole instrumental by riding around a neighborhood with the windows down. The duo appear to be having a blast, and honestly, the energy is infectious.
Cordae is going for a very particular aesthetic on his upcoming album. “Saturday Mornings,” his last song with Lil Wayne, and “Summer Drop,” both evoke a 90s nostalgia. The way each set up is shot to evoke an old school music video, the switches to grainy black-and-white. Cordae is bringing back the rap music of his youth, but putting his own spin on it. There’s nothing kitschy or annoyingly retro about the “Summer Drop” video. It tips its cap to the summer anthems of the past while still having enough of a modern feel to connect with fans in 2024.
A big part of why the balance works is the on screen chemistry between Cordae and Anderson .Paak. In their body language and their reference points, the duo evoke groups like De La Soul and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Even the title of Cordae’s upcoming album, The Crossroads, evokes Bone Thugs. The rapper is clearly feeling wistful, and it manifests in his lyrics. “I saved up the whole summer, that’s how I got school clothes,” he raps. “I bought some Puma’s and some fake chains, that was fools gold. “My n**ga, what you know about those hot summers? No air condition.”
Anderson .Paak, as always, balances out Cordae’s reserved delivery. The instantly recognizable singer drops a memorable opening verse about his success, and how his life has changed so much since he was a kid. “I’m in my other drop, from beanies to buckets. A hundred bucks in my Polo socks,” he spits. “Remember when summer dropped, we was at Unclе’s spot. Three n**gas with nothin’ to do but wrestle or slap box.” Honestly, we can’t wait to hear the rest of Cordae’s album.
