Setting the Scene: A Music Video Mishap
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
The year is 2001. Ice-T, the OG of West Coast rap, is on the set of a music video. By his own admission, he's not exactly Mr. Sunshine that day. Maybe it was the demanding director, a bad case of the Mondays, or just the sheer annoyance of having to be around people (rappers: can they relate?).
Enter Cupid (or at least Cupid's Wingman): A friend of Ice-T decides to intervene. Figuring a little distraction might be the cure for the rapper's blues, he approaches a stunning woman on set – none other than the future Mrs. T herself, Coco Austin.
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
Now or Never: The Ice-Breaker (and How it Almost Melted)
"Ice-T, meet Coco," the friend says, hoping for sparks to fly. Ice-T, ever the charmer (when he's not grumpy), leans in and delivers a line that's become the stuff of legend: "Would you ever consider dating a gangster rapper?"
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
Coco, ever the quick wit, responds, "Sure, if he was nice." Ice-T, clearly smitten (or maybe just impressed by her quick thinking), then drops the mic (metaphorically, of course) with the smoothest comeback ever: "Well, baby, if you take the 'n' off 'nice,' you get 'ice'."
