#1: Ice-T
As the front man of the band Body Count, Tracey Lauren Marrow, released the single Cop Killer In 1992. In the absence of any real lyrical talent, Ice-T went for shock and awe instead. The four-minute song mused of killing “pigs” with a 12-gauge shotgun, slitting police throats with a knife, and berating their grieving police families afterwards. Cop Killer was apparently the perfect resume builder for Ice-T to land the role of Detective Odafin Tutuola on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. That’s Hollyweird for you.
