Everything is Going to be Alright
Ice-T Smoothe Da Hustler Lyrics

Cam 2110

I’m 15 and only listen to old school rap

Mark from New York

Anyone else born in the 70's still blasting this in 2020?

Eddie Herring

born in 1984 and blast this when rap was rap

Kevin Hall

born in the 60's and still bumpin' this!!

bmxspert 2

Oh yeah

Benjamin Nielsen - Laer

Born 1980. Still listening!

Xosé Brais Caamaño García

Born in 2004, bumping these in 2022

Chris Willis

This guy explained the 80s and 90s in unmatched detail.
I couldn’t tell back then but looking back it’s like “wow”

Ben Holland

I honestly believe this has got to go down has one of the hardest songs ever created by man 🔥🔥🔥🙏✌️😎😎

Spiced T

Hit da gates bro....

Neil

For me, best ever rap song in hip hop history!

Harry Williams

"New Jack Hustler" is one of the greatest social commentary songs ever, let alone hip-hop records.

R Bailey

Yes! Hearing this as a kid I always loved the track, but coming back to listen to at at 40 when I can better appreciate the imagery and underlying message…WOW! Agreed, one of the greatest social commentary songs ever!

RanVwr

​@Loki Odinson it's true that a lot of gangster rappers are not clear on whether they're glorifying or critizicing crime. But in this case, it is obvious that Ice T is being sarcastic IMO.

alka 71

Ice T crushin social commentary with the baddest beats and rhymes, he's the OG

Lawrence Benjamin

"Capitalist Migraine "...WOW !!

jeremy linn

@Mike P people that don't get it claim it's glorification. People that understand know that a lot of those rhymes are fueled by pain, turmoil and fucked up conditions.

the broham

2021 and this shit is as dope as when Ice T first laid it down on wax.

hal900x

Ice-T always had a deeper message when he was pioneering gangster rap. Not just glorification, he ended with a sobering note of reality, describing the reality underlying the glamour. We need that now.

Jerry Flynn Dale

@prspct, stop it clown!!

Jerry Flynn Dale

@JULIO VERNE, Gangsta rap started with Ice T period! #facts

Rich Da_Serramonte_dude

He’s also a greatest heavy metal vocalist too

I4NI Sounds

@prspct listen to em, you're the only correct comment here.

prspct

he was just rapping for money ... lol

Jessy

Ice- T is a rap legend

Neon Vandal

Ice T always dropped PURE jewels of wisdom/street survival technique. He's the difference between a selfish scumbag who will lead young kids wrong and into a life that will either land them in prison, or in the ground, and an older, wiser street dude who has walked the walk, knows the temptations of the street, but quietly encourages younger kids to take a good look around and think for themselves, HAVE dreams, HAVE ambitions, HAVE a survival plan, and focus hard on them, or eventually the street WILL get them. Ice is and has always been the latter.💯 Solid brother who deserves all the success he's worked for.🤛

Joe Richardson

Fire from beginning to end no let up, and the beat 😱

starrground

This is great music, great voice, great delivery, great lyrics another word timeless music. Tracy and Darlene Forever.

Jason Rossetto

I was a gangster back then, hustling. Still ill in 2021. Ice-T is a dope rapper!🤬

Eli Porter

Growing up in NYC, this song brings back so many memories. You used to hear this song blasting all throughout the city, especially around the time New Jack City was out. Shout out to Detective Tutuola 😂

Juliana Andrade

Sou brasileira e amo esse cara 😍❤️

Donnie King

Heard this when i was 18, shit had an impact on my life and created alot of ambition.

Orlanzo

Classic, Ice T doesn't get the credit he deserves for putting West Coast Gangsta rap on the map, he's the one who started it, not Eazy E and NWA. He got the game from Schoolly D in Philly and brought it back here to the west.

Sam Lowest

He was the original, you can't help but listen, it's that good!!!The one they all try to copy but only "1" Ice-T

Capitan Futuro

IceT is the father of Gangsta Rap.

J, A

@Alexis Miyares, OG LOOK IT UP,

J, A

@MR BFLY ice cube got ice t in his Top.5 rappers

J, A

Believe me ice t get the credit, right now he is still going, sitcoms, television 📺 commercials, dr dre said nwa wrote boys in da hood because of 6 in the morning, ice t

GranTube

Can't believe this dope track is already exactly 30 years old but sounds like it just came out yesterday just as fresh as when NJC was release into the theaters still remember watching it when it came out(a sick flick) this takes me back down memory lane back to my younger years

soulman2000

I LOVE this. ICE-T broke it down. It looked like he was glorifying it early on and then in the end of the video, he goes to jail. This is when rap was easy to defend cuz it was MUCH smarter than 2day.

Christopher Harper

One of Ice's hardest joints! Blasted this all thru 91 and beyond!!

SpaceGhost 8300🐬

Fire! That was the style of flow! Makes you think of new people coming out sounding different from era to era evolving hip hop! I love the journey hip hop is on!

Underground Chamber Muzik

back when hip hop was hard lyrics where clear to understand the message' not like these happy meal beats and mumble rappers today

LWhite

@Underground Chamber Muzik times change my boy. Cant live in da past its unhealthy for ya.. an yeah them niggas talking with the same flow on the same dated ass beats💀

Underground Chamber Muzik

@LWhite Nursery Rhymes back then???? Big L' Big PUN, Lord Finesse, Pharoahe Monche, Scaramanga, DR DOOM, DR Octagon, KRS1, Planet Asia, Ras Kass, Rza, shyheim, Chino XL...... ABC Rhymes??? you a clown fa sho..

LWhite

Yall listened to some nursery rhymes back then no cap

Andre Jones

>

Brian Corsetti

Most underrated hiphop artists ever. I would put Ice T at the top easy just on street cred alone not to mention flow and badassery.

Cassie Fisher

It is amazing how Ice T came about now being who he is today, may God continue to bless him and his family; I seen a picture of his little girl and she looks just like him. ☺️

ray hanes

Love how Ice T rapped the gangster music but told the story from view when everything goes wrong. We need rap like this today more than ever

Edward Jacob

2022 absolutely beautiful. My daughter never knew music like this.

Johnathan Hamiter

Ice firing on all cylinders right here. He really had his flow and message tight as hell. Lyrically complicated but smoother than butter. Vivid imagery with punchlines for days. And then there's that crazy ass beat. It's a beat yo ass beat. A metal roller-coaster through the entire drug game. Yall excuse me but this song and me go way back.

carolyn gordin

WHY TELL US AVACADO WE DO NOT CARE TO HEAR FEAR OUT OF YA KIM

bigtall704

"Life is weighed on the scales of a triple beam!" Realest and hardest line in the song, true hip hop quotable.

Pete

Ice I grew up here in LA listening to your tapes. You left a mark in my subsconsciousness. Thank you for those memories. We Latinos love you

Raw guitar

Ice T at his peak as a rapper.

James Williams

I got nothing to lose, much to gain, in my brain I got a capitalist migraine.

INCREDIBLE LYRICS!!!!

чингиз шарипов

Что самое прекрасное, так это то, что Эмси говорит что вся эта преступная деятельность не есть хорошо и что ни к чему благому не приводит. Сейчас слушаешь новых Эмси, так они говорят что заниматься преступностью это круто. Айс Ти крутой Эмси да и вообще человек хороший. Айс Ти знает о чем читает, потому что был там и не просто был, а участвовал во всем этом, но, во время ушел и через рэп начал говорить что лучше туда не лезть. По мимо всего этого, он без рекламы, без пиара или радио добился успеха, современным рэперам нужна реклама, пиар, и прочая фигня. Айс Ти, ты крутой мужик !

Jim Elledge

2022 still rocking this old school O.G shit

4 Frmcf

Dam I didn’t know ice t was this good 🔥

AHMAD2423

Ice T lyrically was a BEAST.

NJGhost34

Still as powerful a message in 2019 as it was in 1991.

Leon george

@Ghost rider he don’t know what his on about

kevin pitts

NJGhost34 like nothing changed I’m a 97 baby so it’s pretty wild

the truth

Ghost: Lock me up a genocidial cotstraphy there'll be ANOTHER ONE AFTER ME!! SMFH

Beanie Gee

Happy 30th anniversary to Ice-T's classic album OG Original Gangster!!

Gabriel De Campos

Muito daora 🇧🇷😎🎶

chinawyte

SO DAMN GOOOOOOOD. Classic Ice-T!! Funny how he is known as a reality show star and a host but damn, he was an OG rapper, dope as hell!

This Is The Shit. I Was A Teenager When This Gangsta Rap Video By Rapper Ice T Came Out. Iam 42 Years Old Now In The Year 2021 And Iam Still Bumping This Now.

Zagor Makedon

One of the greatest old schools

Northern King

Imagine that me working at mickey d's 😂 that line always got me

Arctic Snow Gaming

I was born in 95 and listen to the old-school (timeless) hip hop.

yaboi 504

"is this a nightmare, or the American dream" nobody else spit truth and game like Ice t. And he diversified himself, still plays body count shows and plays a cop on law and order.

Vandaken

That third verse really brings it home!

Nick Reek

One of the first cd's i bought, good times!!

MrLEATHERFACE83

Still powerful!💯💯 #Hustler

Ben Holland

The lyrics, the voice, the beats ,damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Interplanetary Music

Still rolling with the NEW JACK HUSTLERS!!! 💎😎💫

Eugene Sanchez

Still blasting this beat into 2021....

sonofaseawarrior

Gangsta. Rap. Masterpiece. 🤜🤛🏿

lugcastillo

Underrated classic! "My education is slow but I got long doe" I can write a book about that one line.

Alpha Chingón

Even though Ice-T said he wasn’t the best of Rappers this is wayyy better than any new shit brought out after the early 00’s.

Spiced T

Fool i'm the illest

paul revere

@Trusty Patches jay z and Kanye are way overrated,.

Trusty Patches

I mean unless you count Jay Z, Kanye, J Cole, 50, Game, Kendrick, Tech Nine, logic, Joyner Lucas, Jidenna, CES Cru, Death Grips. Modern hip hop only sucks if you live under a rock and your knowledge of the modern hip hop scene starts and stops at Migos. But really, who cares about being accurate when you can just sit on a high horse and make blanket statements to farm internet good boy points.

HELLWAR DCLXVI

love this shit!! Missed the 90 s!!

Carina Nuñez

Real rap, looove it. Still bumpin Ice T !!!!
OG😎

Bless 4 Success

"is this a nightmare or an American dream" - echoing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (I have a dream) and Malcolm X (American Nightmare) speeches... ICE-T WAS COLD DOPE!

Fractal of God

One of the finest albums he ever made.

Osemetal \m/

I often listen to metal music but HOLY JESUS this is some good old school hip hop. I respect Ice-T.

Da Lime

Hell yeah me too. like DMX, Onyx, wu tang, ect.
Sometimes you don't need guitars to be heavy as f***

Jon Wacken

Same here. This is one of the few songs where the lyrics actually give me chills

alex ojideagu

He also has a metal band Bodycount that's been going for 30 years.

Devin Taylor

THATS WHEN HIP HOP WAS REAL AND IT HAD MEANING THEN!!!

Kayla Walsh

I’m a 90s baby, but this is what I bump. People my age don’t even know who Ice T is or his music. I’ve always been an old soul trapped in a young woman’s body. lol Ice T was amazing! miss him as an Emcee.

Nigga4 Life

well, although I'm 18 years old, I feel ya ;)

DCSniper 187

He’s still dropping dope shit, check out Feds in my rear view

Po3tic Treachery

I was 25 when this came out. Shit blew my mind. " That's how the game is played/ another brother slain/ the wound is deep but they're giving us a bandaid". So fucking sad and gritty

Big Nadz

Real hip hop ice t killed it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jayskiallthewayski

Such a strong song. Goddamn. I remember hearing this album for the first time on headphones, was like a 2 hour action movie playing in my head. Relentless storytelling.

MokerPrankzzz

MrLs1racer

I bought this on cassette in 91 when it came out. I still have it, 91 was a good year for music. Must have been some good drugs going around then.

JanWynd

One of Ice-T 's coldest joints. I'm old-skool,...I 'member I had dis single on cassette back inna day, cold blastin out my sony walkman. Damn, time flies, B! Respect to Brotha Ice.

804 LEGEND

Ice T makes a whole lot more today than he did back then.

Smokin' Wraith

When it was still music! and actual creativity

ICH SEHE DICH

100DCA

Ice T brought the realism in every video.

Car Lover

It's so thoughtful of Ice-T to have a rehearsed musical routine for when someone asks him how he makes his money.

B1 Slee 2

Still bumpin this joint in 2021.. Ice T was cold mannn

ebban jenkins

Back in the late 80s/90s apart from being great music the likes of Ice T Public Enemy N.W.A made the awesome soundtrack to my teenage weights workouts the beats speed and attitude were perfect motivation (ps check out Mike Tysons ring walk to Welcome to the Terror dome by PE..prob most epic early 90s entrance by anyone ever!)

Slam Cave

Respect to Ice-T and Body Count.
