Today’s video of the day is Body Count – “The Hate Is Real” released in 2020.

Body Count released a powerful music video for “The Hate Is Real” in 2020. The track comes from their album Carnivore. This song tackles themes of hate, both personal and systemic. To engage fans, Ice-T and the band held a contest for the best fan-made video. The winner was Seby Martinez, a 25-year-old filmmaker from NYC. Body Count formed in 1990, blending heavy metal with hip-hop. Ice-T, already a rap star, led the group. Their 1992 self-titled debut sparked controversy, especially with the track “Cop Killer.” Despite backlash, the band remained fearless in addressing social issues. Over the years, they released albums like Born Dead, Violent Demise: The Last Days, and Bloodlust. Each record carried a mix of aggression, political commentary, and raw energy.

Carnivore, released in 2020, continued this legacy. It featured hard-hitting tracks with guest artists like Riley Gale and Amy Lee. The album’s themes focused on survival, injustice, and rebellion. “The Hate Is Real” stood out as a direct statement on modern issues. It fit perfectly alongside songs like “Point the Finger” and “Bum-Rush.”

The video’s contest allowed fans to contribute to the band’s message. Martinez’s winning entry captured the song’s intensity. His visuals reinforced the song’s message about the destructive power of hate. The band’s decision to feature a fan-made video reflected their connection with their audience. Body Count’s music continues to challenge and provoke. Their mix of metal and rap remains unique. Carnivore builds on their past while keeping their message relevant. “The Hate Is Real” proves that Body Count still speaks for the unheard.
