Controversy is something that has always surrounded Ice-T, especially when it comes to his lyrics. Kathie Lee asked him if he had ever regretted any of them or wanted to take them back, but Ice-T said no.
“I wouldn’t take it back because that’s how I felt at the time,” Ice-T said. “When you listen to those lyrics there’s a lot of kids in the streets that feel the exact same way.”
He also talked about how his early fame helped him to get away from a path of gang activity and set him straight. Ice-T will be signing his book at the Barne’s & Noble at Union Square in New York at 7 p.m.
