@theheavyloud: Top Polarizing Musical Moment - Part 7: Was Body Count The Most Controversial Metal Band of the 90s? Back in the early 90s, Ice-T's Body Count shook the music scene to its core and sparked huge censorship battles. Before rap-metal was “normal”, Ice-T, one of the pioneers of West Coast Hip Hop, formed a heavy band and completely freaked out the mainstream media in the process… and beyond triggering massive political backlash over tracks like Cop Killer, the group also polarized the heavy music landscape itself too. While traditional metalhead purists were resistant to a hip-hop artist entering their territory, open-minded fans recognized it as something actually pretty dope… a raw, essential fusion of hardcore punk and thrash metal that was hitting on street level realities. Follow The Heavy Loud as I dive deeper into the most polarizing moments and collabs in heavy music history in this 10 part series. . . . . #bodycount #metal #rap #90s #metalhead
