Episode 77 - Examining the impact of Body Count's debut album
from I Hate Music
For the unfamiliar, Body Count is lead by rapper Ice T, and their debut album stirred a lot of controversy in the early '90s. Most famously, the song "Cop Killer" landed the band in the public eye and garnered the scorn of the PMRC, the Police, and parents everywhere. Body Count married hip-hop and metal in a way that had never been done before and inspired generations of musicians to become more socially aware.We always have time for listener emails, a segment, and we also talk about Death and Death To All, a lot. So, join us in the I Hate Music drinking game, and take a sip every time we mention Gwar, or a Kyle, or Sebastian, and enjoy this episode. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.
