Product Details
Released in 1991, O.G. Original Gangster stands as Ice-T's most ambitious statement, a sprawling 24-track document that essentially codified West Coast gangsta rap as a serious artistic form. Coming off the controversy surrounding "Cop Killer" with his metal band Body Count, Ice-T was already proving he operated outside any comfortable box, and this record captured him at his most focused and uncompromising.
Angry, intense lyrics and reflections on society fill this album, addressing topics such as violence and a tough life of crime. This lyrical vehemence enhances Ice-T's storytelling.
