I thought it was the record company that pulled the song. Either way, that was the most entertaining song on the album and taking it off was a terrible idea.

There were three singles put out for the album as a whole, but only one became highly controversial, which was not Ice T's original intent, he was simply expressing his frusturation at the police brutality & harassment that plagued the Ghetto. I remember the fallout from the Rodney King episode and things were pretty tense
Wasn't meant to be highly controversial? Songs about banging a Grand Dragon's daughter at a KKK rally, shooting cops "in their motherfucking face," and killing your mother aren't meant to be controversial? The album was delivered to record stores in body bags for god's sake.
