Ice

A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption - from South Central to Hollywood

De: Douglas Century

Narrado por: Mirron Willis

For readers or listeners of Sister Souljah’s No Disrespect, Nathan McCall’s Makes Me Wanna Holler, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and Monster by Sanyika Shakur comes the definitive memoir from Ice-T, the acclaimed rapper and actor known for telling it like it is.

Ice-T offers his hip-hop generation’s Horatio Alger story: the narrative of an orphaned child who, drawn inexorably into a harrowing life of crime, ultimately turns away from the streets and, through self-discipline and a single-minded work ethic, forges a path to international fame as a musician and film-and-television star.

Ice-T was born Tracy Marrow in New Jersey. As an only child whose parents died when he was very young, he became involved in Los Angeles gangs before spending four years in the army. He released a string of groundbreaking West Coast rap records and formed the thrash-metal band Body Count. He currently stars as Detective Fin Tutuola on Law & Order: SVU.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“In this intriguing memoir, groundbreaking rapper and actor Ice-T chronicles his rise from nomadic criminal to hip-hop star…. Ice-T is a canny businessman, and he charts clearly the decisions that brought him up each step of a very treacherous ladder.” ( Publishers Weekly)

good. real good. real real good.

good. real good. talk real good. He's good. one of the best. task at hand.

Not a fan of narrator

Good book. The narrator seemed to be trying too hard to imitate Ice T's speech instead of finding his own voice, it was distracting.

Great book!

The book was great but it would have been so much better if it had been read by Ice!!!

Fantastic book

I enjoyed this book by Ice-T. He's definitely influenced by Iceberg Slim with his memoir.

would prefer more

I would have preferred to hear more if the struggle transitioning from one lifestyle to another. Instead of the attitude that it just "dropped in my lap".. no disrespect though.. I've got MAD LOVE for Ice-T
