I'm sure Ice T and Fishbone are all fans of a bunch of artists that they never got a chance to work with for whatever reason. Schedules, timing, etc all have to match up and if they don't then it never happens. No harm no foul.

Maybe he did and maybe it just didn't work out. Doesn't negate the fact that he was a fan.

Maybe I'm reading too much into your response but the way it read to me was that Ice T was full of shit and didn't belong in the documentary because he never did a song with Fishbone and he should have if he was such a fan. I just don't see how that makes any sense. There were a ton of Fishbone fans of all genres, especially in the LA music scene, and most of them never did songs with Fishbone but I still would find it interesting to hear what they had to say about the band.

Neither one of those collaborations featured a rapper attempting to do a "hardcore rock" album. They were basically 2 groups coming together from different styles but still doing what they normally do. Body Count was Ice trying to be a metal dude. I personally don't want to hear Fishbone on that shit.
