Album Review
Ice-T threw listeners quite a curve ball with his riveting third album, The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech...Just Watch What You Say — arguably the closest hip-hop has come to George Orwell's 1984. Instead of focusing heavily on gangsta rap, Ice-T made First Amendment issues the CD's dominant theme. Setting the album's tone is the opener, "Shut Up, Be Happy," which finds guest Jello Biafra (former leader of punk band Dead Kennedys) envisioning an Orwellian America in which the government controls and dominates every aspect of its citizens' lives. Though there are a few examples of first-rate gangsta rap here — including "The Hunted Child" and the chilling "Peel Their Caps Back" — Ice's main concern this time is censorship and what he views as a widespread attack on free speech in the U.S. As angry and lyrically intense as most of The Iceberg is, Ice enjoys fun for its own sake on "My Word Is Bond" and "The Girl Tried to Kill Me" — an insanely funny rap-rock account of an encounter with a dominatrix.
Customer Reviews
Some of Ice-T's best
Brilliant album, but seriously iTunes, misspelling the title? It's right there on the cover art. "Iceburg" isn't even a word…
...
This is so underrated. Actually one of Ice-T's best albums ever. He completely destroys censorship on "Freedom of Speech" and "Lethal Weapon" while he kicks knowledge elsewhere on "You Played Yourself". Also "Peel Their Caps Back" is a classic as well. Chilling and cold.
