The title 'music mogul' suits rap legend Ice-T Thursday, April 30th 2009, 4:00 AM
Corkery/News Ice-T Ice-T has everything from rapper to actor to reality star on his résumé — and now he can add another job: record company mogul.
"I'm starting a digital label through EMI," the multitasker, aka Tracy Marrow, told us at the Tribeca premiere of "Burning Down the House: The Story of CBGB." "I'm trying to get back to more hip hop. To me, music right now is like disco. It's very sing-songy, and nobody's dealing with content. That's what I miss. I miss Tupac and Big. You got Lupe Fiasco and TI now, but in general, we're swamped with bubblegum pop."
T already has artists signed to his still-unnamed label. "We signed about five groups," he said. "We've got an artist from L.A., a group called Certified from Washington State, Born Twice from Houston and a Korean kid from New York. I'm playing the whole map."

That's cool. I wonder whether Ice has heard of any rappers from the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Some were born in the States.

LOL, I had heard of it before but never knew all about it either. I only knew this year because of the Bon Jovi thing, their fan club gave out tickets to the premiere that the guys showed up at.
