Apart from the previously released \"Body Count\" (which appeared on Ice-T's 1991 album O.G. Original Gangster), the record is devoid of serious commentary, trading intelligence for a lurid comic book depiction of sex, violence, and \"Voodoo.\" All of Ice-T's half-sung\/half-shouted lyrics fall far short of the standard he established on his hip-hop albums. The controversial \"Cop Killer\" -- which is nothing more than a standard thrash metal chant -- stands out because it is one of the few tracks that doesn't rely on garish, cartoonish imagery. There's the saga of \"Evil Dick,\" which tells Ice-T to not \"sleep alone.\" There's \"KKK Bitch,\" where he crashes a Ku Klux Klan meeting and screws the grand dragon's daughter. There's \"Voodoo,\" where a witch doctor cripples our hero with a voodoo doll. There's \"Mama's Gotta Die Tonight,\" where Ice-T offs his mother cause she's racist. By the time the band works around to the power ballad \"The Winner Loses\" and Ice-T is crooning, \"My friend's addicted to cocaine,\" it's unclear whether the record is a parody or a flawed stab at arena metal. Either way, Body Count is a humorous curio from the early '90s that will appeal either to metalheads or listeners with a twisted sense of humor. [After \"Cop Killer\" was pulled from the album, it was replaced with a bland version of Ice-T's rap classic \"The Iceberg\" recorded with Jello Biafra.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"Body Count","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44590525645033,"sku":"LXX1P2-X03R-00","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/body-count-body-count_0Z4yg.jpg?v=1743529713","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/body-count-body-count","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
