Ice-T is looking to turn modern hip-hop on its head and he wanted help from Kanye West, Eminem, Ice Cube and other rappers to help.
The 'Law and Order: Special Victims Unit' star is currently starring in his new reality show with his wife Coco, 'Ice Loves Coco' but in a recent interview the rapper and actor revealed that he will be making his directorial debut for 'The Art of Rap'.
In the interview with The Juice, Ice-T said: "I've interviewed 50 emcees - everybody - [from] Kanye West, Ice Cube, Eminem to Melle Mell, Grandmaster Caz.
Describing why he was inspired to explore the hip-hop arena, the rapper said: "The hip-hop scene [has] became so pop. I was like, 'I'm gonna do a movie about real rappers and what inspired us.' Maybe that'll hit a reset button on the game and let these kids know it's not just about a pop record. Rap can do a lot."
Do you think Ice-T's 'The Art of Rap' will be one to watch? Do you think hip-hop has turned pop?
