Rezensionen

Er hat nie einer Szene angehört im HipHop, und er ist der große Einzelgänger der Westküste –- Ice T beherrscht viele Rollen: Er ist Schauspieler (New Jack City), Rocker (mit der Metal-Gruppe Bodycount) und Gangster-Rapper, der sich am liebsten mit schönen Frauen und großen Pistolen umgibt. Auf diesem Album aus dem Jahr 1996 nahm er wieder die Gauner-Rolle an, mit der er 1991 auf dem Album O.G.–Original Gangster seinen musikalischen Höhepunkt hatte. Ice T hat den Anspruch, das Wahre im HipHop zu vertreten, und wie viele andere Rapper auch gelingt es ihm nicht immer, zu definieren, was dieses Wahre denn ist. Begleitet von zähen Synthesizer-Klängen, Maschinengewehr-Geknatter und Beats, die so rauh sind wie die Straßen des Stadtviertels Compton, erzählt Ice T seine Gaunergeschichten. Nach diesem Album folgte eine längere Musik-Pause, die er erst 1999 beendete. --Oliver Creutz

Der Hardcore-Rapper kehrt wieder ins Homeboy-Terrain zurück: mit deftig-satten Grooves, frischen Sounds, hippen Co-Rappern und Texten, die konsequent an der Ghetto-Realität dranbleiben. ** Klang: 02-03

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
As the title says, Ice-T returns to the street and the hardcore beats with his sixth album, Return of the Real. In fact, the return isn't just to hardcore — it's to hardcore that happened before gangsta rap, before the message and the music became diluted with endless B-boy posturing and loping P-Funk beats. In concept, the album is brilliant — Ice-T has always had an eye for lyrical detail and has always been a vocal supporter of hardcore, street-oriented hip-hop; at the very least, his rejection of G-funk/post-NWA gangsta rap is a bold political move. However, Return of the Real doesn't quite re-establish Ice-T as a force, mainly because the production sounds a bit dated. Sure, there are the occasional contemporary flourishes — usually in the guise of a Wu-Tang-style soundscape — but for the most part, Ice sounds like he's in his own world. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that he has created a unique sonic world; it just means that he hasn't progressed far since 1991. Of course, there are a number of tracks that sound vibrant and alive, but Return of the Real can't help escape a creeping sense of stagnation that permeates through the entire album.
