The Wild Reason Ice-T Wants to Be Buried Face Down
Ice-T wants the world to “kiss [his] a--” when he dies.
The 66-year-old rapper, whose real name is Tracy Marrow, claimed he hasn’t thought too much about his funeral but would like to be put into his coffin face-down with his derriere on display.
Asked the song he wants played at his funeral, he told Classic Rock magazine: “I really don’t know, but I asked to be buried face down so the world can kiss my a--.
“I hate funerals, I just wanted to be cremated and disappear. ‘Ashes to Ashes, funk to funky,' I don’t mind that.”
The "Cop Killer" hit-maker, who was orphaned at 13 when his dad died from a heart attack, four years after his mom passed away from the same cause, rarely ever cries because he learned at a young age that emotions “didn’t matter."
He said: “I haven’t cried since my dog Spartacus passed away, five, six years ago.
“I didn’t even know I had tear glands, I hadn’t cried in so long.
“Being an orphan and growing up on my own, I learned to delete those emotions because it didn’t matter. I had to learn to suck it up.”
The Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn actor always admired Jimi Hendrix as the late guitar legend taught him there were “no limits” in music.
He said: “We’re all out there trying to play tight, tight, tight.
“When I saw Jimi’s live performances, he was so unpolished; ‘I’m gonna go on stage and jam and you motherf---ers keep up with me.’
“It’s a whole different style of rock.
“And being a Black person was important. It showed me there would be no limits to music; be whatever color, if you’re good, people are going to have to respect you.”
