Ice-T Says Cam'ron "Made A Bad Move" On "60 Minutes"
With the streets still buzzing over the "Stop Snitching" controversy, Ice-T weighed in on Cam'ron's "60 Minutes" appearance and broke down the term "snitching."
"Cam'ron made a bad move. I mean, Cam'ron applied the rules to the streets, to the rules of hip-hop. Everybody in hip-hop ain't affiliated with the streets on that level," Ice told SOHH exclusively. "So when they asked him that big question, if a serial killer lived next to him would he tell and he said, no; Cam'ron went out. And I love you Cam'ron, but that was a bad call. If you know somebody's in the neighborhood and he's raping little girls, you supposed to tell the police about that sucker. That's not snitching."
Ice also shared his opinion on the "n-word" and revealed that he has no plan on banning the word.
"I'ma say 'n**ga' til the wheels fall off. My daddy used to say it. I believe that, if it doesn't apply to you, don't say it. If you ain't from the hood, don't say n**ga. That's where it lies. It's an inside word. Jewish people can say it to each other. Black people say certain things to each other. It's ok," Ice explained. "I think a lot of black people are too overly concerned with what white people think about them. I understand that word carries a lot of pain, but not the way it's been translated."
The way we throw the word n**ga around now...I grew up listening to Red Foxx, Ronaldo Ray and Richard Pryor, all these kinds of people," he continued. "If the intention is not there, then the word has no power."
