Description: Condition: Very good condition overall. No issues.This version does NOT contain the banned song "Cop Killer". The self-titled album "Body Count" marks the incendiary debut of the eponymous heavy metal band led by rapper and actor Ice-T. Released in 1992, this album is a visceral and unapologetic exploration of societal issues, racial tensions, and urban violence, delivered with unrelenting ferocity and uncompromising honesty.From the blistering opening track, "Smoked Pork,", "Body Count" pulls no punches in its critique of the injustices and inequalities that plague society. Ice-T's confrontational lyrics, delivered with his trademark grit and swagger, tackle topics such as police brutality, systemic racism, and the hypocrisies of the criminal justice system, sparking controversy and sparking debate in equal measure.Musically, "Body Count" is a tour de force of heavy metal, punk, and hip-hop influences, with thunderous guitar riffs, pummeling drums, and Ice-T's rapid-fire delivery combining to create a sonic assault on the senses. Tracks like "There Goes the Neighborhood" and "Evil Dick" showcase the band's technical prowess and infectious energy, while "KKK Bitch" and "Momma's Gotta Die Tonight" confront uncomfortable truths with brutal honesty and unflinching intensity.Produced by Ernie C, the album's raw and unpolished sound perfectly complements its confrontational subject matter, capturing the band's live energy and unbridled passion with unapologetic clarity. Despite facing backlash and censorship from conservative critics and law enforcement agencies, "Body Count" became a rallying cry for disenfranchised youth and a cultural touchstone for those seeking to challenge the status quo.More than three decades later, "Body Count" remains a landmark album in the worlds of both heavy metal and hip-hop, a testament to the power of music to provoke thought, inspire change, and give voice to the voiceless. With its uncompromising attitude, blistering intensity, and unapologetic social commentary, "Body Count" is more than just an album—it's a statement of defiance and a call to arms for those who refuse to remain silent in the face of injustice.
