Ice-T – Valuable Game (12″ Version) (1999)

September 1, 2022

I got this 12″ free with a Discogs order probably about a decade ago, and I finally listened to it. Featuring a few cuts and extras from his 7 Deadly Sins album sessions, Valuable Game is actually a pretty fun listen. My favourite song has to be “Always Wanted To Be A Ho”, which is tongue in cheek but actually heavily calls out those who prey on vulnerable women, which is nice considering how misogynistic hip hop can be. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t exactly flattering towards “hos” but it was a refreshing take all the same, especially considering how old this is.
