Burn Hollywood Burn was Rap/hip-hop

[jbridel1]

I believe Ice-T plays a homicide detective on "Law & Order: SVU" these days.
"Cop Killer" indeed.  Says all I need to hear about factory produced hip hop
and its target markets these days.  We are wasting our breath on these
posers (that is, the mainstream or "popular" hip hop artists/producers).
They are wallpaper.  And Ice Cube's "Burn Hollywood Burn"?  How many flicks
has he been in?  "Fuck Hollywood".
