Review

There was a lot of controversy over "Cop Killer" and Body Count's debut, and Born Dead replicates all of Body Count, including the attempts at social commentary and "Body Count, Body Count, Body Count, BC, BC, BC" chants. Ice-T's band sounds like a heavy metal relic from the late '80s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Born Dead is the second album released by Body Count. Among other tracks, the album features a cover of Billy Roberts' "Hey Joe," performed in the style of Jimi Hendrix' recording of the song, as originally featured on the Are You Experienced album. Body Count's cover of the song was first featured on the Hendrix tribute album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. In the liner notes, Ice T dedicates the album "to all the people of color throughout the entire world; Asian, Latino, Native American, Hawaiian, Italian, Indian, Persian, African, Aboriginal and any other nationality that white supremists would love to see born dead."[4] Born Dead peaked at #74 on the Billboard 200.[5]
