Explicit Gangsta Rap

It's been seven years since the last Ice-T release you didn't care about, but the busy actor/rapper/urban humanitarian is pulling out the stops to announce his musical return by having his "stripper-wife" (greatest hyphenated adjective ever) Coco pose nude with him on his album's cover. Well, almost nude. Says Page 6:

Gangsta Rap, Ice-T's first studio album in seven years, shows him lying on his back in bed with his ravishing wife's ample posterior in full view and one of her legs coyly draped over his private parts.
That reads like they enjoyed typing it, don't it? Ice-T's label rep said that they're getting heat from vendors about the cover, and that strategically placed stickers will be necessary.

Says Ice-T: "You should see the picture when Coco's leg is not there."

No thanks. But we did put the NSFW album covers side by side so you can play PRMC and ponder their censorability.

 

And if that's just not enough Coco for ya, you can get your hands on her upcoming 2007 calendar here. Perfect for the holidays!

Gangsta Rap is out 10/31.

she's just there to hide his love handles. also, his calf muscles are air brushed.
"stripper-wife" is not a phrasal adjective, and therefore should not be hyphenated. stripper-prostitute wife would be a correct use of a hyphen to denote a phrasal adjective.

Ice-T appeared as 'oscillator ice' on the analog brothers album (with kool keith) that came out in 2000 so its only 5 years since his last studio album. he was pretty rubbish on it tho.
also does anyone know if hes the same ice-t thats credited with writing most of the songs on mr t's 'be somebody or be somebodys fool'?

I pretty much forgive Ice T all his vanity, wife foolishnes and and bad records because once I saw him live - both solo and with Body Count - it's one of the best live shows I've ever seen, he is so great live. Top ten easily and I've been to thousands of shos, mostly indie, grunge, punk type stuff but some rap, and across all categories, he really is one of the best live acts going.

This cover is being protested against by caucasion women because they are jealous that Coco's ass is not FLAT.

Ice T bringin' once again the realest album of the last years. Definitely one for his loyal fans. Iceberg simply droppin' some STONE COOOOOOLD lyrics. Best cd of 2006!

Damn! The new Iceberg LP is straight up thuggin'. Just copped three copies for me and my posse from the Netherlands. We'll be riding all night and day to these pimpin' beats and rhymes. For this kinda BASS/BASE you don't need a pipe, just a tempo to keep ya hyped!
