Ice-T – Power Rarities (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Before Compton put gangsta rap on the map, Ice-T was laying the blueprint. Power arrived in 1988, the same year as *It Takes a Nation of Millions*, and its unflinching street narratives helped establish the sonic and lyrical vocabulary that an entire generation of West Coast artists would build on. These rarities offer a deeper look at that pivotal moment in hip-hop history.
Vinyl LP pressing. As a musician, Ice-Tplayed a major role in the creation of the gangsta incarnation of hip-hop music and was a colossus of the West Coast hip-hop scene, despite his East Coast, greater New York, origins. Though his music displays a political consciousness, like the indictments of racism that were a hallmark of seminal hip-hop groupPublic Enemy, it also is nihilistic as befits a chronicler of street life. The charismatic Ice-T has also achieved success as an actor in movies and on TV. He plays Detective Odafin Tutuola on the TV seriesLaw & Order: Special Victims Unit.
