Ice-T Offers Advise To Michael Jackson

Rod Harmon of Knight Ridder Newspapers spoke with Ice-T and asked the rapper/actor about the woes of Michael Jackson and his battle against Sony Music amidst charges of racism. “Honestly, I think what happened with Michael Jackson is that he’s kept so much to himself to make himself an oddity, that it’s hard for people to grab hold of him the way we grabbed hold of him in our day,” he explained. “It’s really a message to all of us that if you’re in this business, and you’re not selling the numbers they want you to, they will drop you.” Ice suggested, “You gotta reproduce yourself; you gotta come again and get in the groove. Your name is not what sells records. Hot records sell records. I’m going to put out a record that’s so hot this year, people are going to say, ‘Oh, that’s Ice?!!’”
