![]() 17’s star ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. ![]() Speaking by phone from New Jersey (with wife Coco and their dog, Lexus, in the background), Ice-T reminisced about the hip-hop game, further fame and getting his flowers by way of Feb. 5 Grammy Awards in a star-studded tribute to hip-hop in honor of the genre’s 50th anniversary. Despite its current state of musicality being - in his words, “goofy” - Ice-T is the soul of rap’s rough potency. Even seeing Ice-T riding a spin cycle, promoting Cheerios and heart health, is hardcore. He beams with pride discussing his hood past and how its raw-knuckle spirit remains. Ice-T brings street cred to everything he does - including commercials. Equally famous was Ice-T’s gig as an actor-with-attitude in films such as “New Jack City” and - since 2000 - for television producer Dick Wolf’s police drama “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” as NYPD Detective Odafin Tutuola.

That's a damn! good analogy.but honestly I am so stoned right now I've completely forgotten what the hell my point was.In his lifetime, Tracy Marrow has been everything from a dancer and a DJ, to a thief and a weed dealer. ![]() So selling the candy at half of what he paid for it was acceptable and not considered a loss because in the end Veruca got what she wanted and he didn't have to deal with a half room size mound of melting confections. ![]() Now what's he going to do? He did what he set out to do and what it cost him was well worth it. ![]() Salt paid a lot of money to achieve that for her and when it was finally found and she was happy, he was left standing in a room full of candy wrappers and chocolate bars. It's like in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory when Veruca Salt was in the middle of several of her father's employees who were frantically opening hundreds and hundreds of Wonka Bars searching for that Golden Ticket. To me, it seems his end game is to complete all achievements however, the walk of fame achievement leaves him with unwanted merchandise. ![]()
