With a new Body Count album out next month, the hip-hop superstar turned actor answers your questions on Law & Order, the Cop Killer furore and working with ‘wild man’ Abel Ferrara
Was there ever a moment during the furore over Cop Killer when you were feeling the heat and/or questioning yourself over releasing it? Sophisticles
I never really questioned myself, but the heat came when they started sending bomb threats to Warner Bros. I threw the rock, that’s my heat. But when other people could get hurt, that’s nerve-racking. But I got news for people: anybody that thinks controversy is a way to make money, it’s not. You get a lot of buzz, but now you need lawyers. So don’t just say something stupid and then back-pedal – if you’re going to say something, stand on it.
Is Body Count in the house? IvanBunin77
Yeah, definitely. We’ve been back in the house ever since [2014’s] Manslaughter. Once we connected with [producer] Will Putney we caught our second wind. We had a low moment because we lost some band members and that’s going to hurt any band, but we got our groove back.
