Episode description
Stanley Tucci tells the story of Ice-T, the original gangster rapper.
Ice T's controversial hit Cop Killer epitomised the turbulence of 1990s LA, consumed by the outrage of the Rodney King beating.
But Ice himself would go on to play a cop on TV - showing California's talent for absorbing dissidence into the mainstream.
