Body Count is the eponymous debut album of American heavy metal band Body Count. "Cop Killer" was originally intended to be the album's title, as evidenced by the tattoo on the original cover. Released in 1992, the album material focuses on various social and political issues ranging from police brutality to drug abuse. The album presents a turning point in the career of Ice-T, who co-wrote the album's songs with lead guitarist Ernie C and performed as the band's lead singer.

  • Body Count is the eponymous debut album of American heavy metal band Body Count. "Cop Killer" was originally intended to be the album's title, as evidenced by the tattoo on the original cover. Released in 1992, the album material focuses on various social and political issues ranging from police brutality to drug abuse. The album presents a turning point in the career of Ice-T, who co-wrote the album's songs with lead guitarist Ernie C and performed as the band's lead singer. Previously known only as a rapper, Ice-T's work with the band helped establish a crossover audience with rock music fans. The album produced one single, "There Goes the Neighborhood. " Body Count is best known for the inclusion of the controversial song "Cop Killer," which was the subject of much criticism from various political figures, although many defended the song on the basis of the group's right to freedom of speech. Ice-T eventually chose to remove the song from the album, although it continues to be performed live. Although the album received mixed reviews, it was ranked among the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums of 1992, and is believed to have helped pave the way for the mainstream success of the rapcore genre, although the album itself does not feature rapping in any of its songs. The song "Body Count's In The House" features in the film "Universal Soldier" (1992).
  • Body Count ist das selbstbetitelte Debütalbum der Crossoverformation Body Count, das zunächst am 30. März 1992 unter dem Namen Cop Killer erschienen war. Nachdem der Warner-Vertrieb etwa eine halbe Million Stück des Albums ausgeliefert hatte, wurde es nach monatelanger Kontroverse am 28. Juli 1992 zurückgezogen und unter neuem Namen und ohne den kontroversen Song Cop Killer, der durch ein Stück namens Freedom of Speech ersetzt wurde, neu veröffentlicht. Die ursprüngliche Version war vor allem von Polizeiverbänden angeprangert worden, die Ice-T und seiner Band eine Mitschuld an den einen Monat nach Veröffentlichung des Werks beginnenden Unruhen in Los Angeles gaben. Im US-amerikanischen Präsidentschaftswahlkampf des gleichen Jahres äußerten sich mehrere Kandidaten, darunter Bill Clinton, George Bush und Pat Buchanan, zu diesem Song.
