Ice-T

Heavy metal
Heavy metal

Ice-T is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of The Sugarhill Gang, Beastie Boys, Bob Dylan, Priority Records and Arabian Prince. Those roots explain a lot about how Ice-T arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Boogie Down Productions, Ice Cube, N.W.A, Public Enemy and EPMD, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Puddle of Mudd, Vanilla Ice, Enter Sandman, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince and Everlast, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 63 connections around Ice-T, reaching back through The Sugarhill Gang and forward to Puddle of Mudd.
