Burn Hollywood Burn was Rap/hip-hop

[Phil Wise]

Okay, then, I guess Ice T shouldn't be trusted in his comments about Bob
Dylan or his interest in music generally because he's got an acting job.
Makes perfect sense to me...

He's played cops more than once.  There may be something to it.  Plus, the
point of PE's Burn Hollywood Burn is that they don't (or perhaps didn't)
cast enough black people in non-stereotyped roles, so what's Ice C meant to
do when they come along?  Turn 'em down?
