Mr. T's Record Album

 In 1984, Mr. T released his own album of songs called "Mr. T's Commandments." At 30 minutes in length, Wikipedia calls it technically an EP.


The tracklisting is as follows:

"Mr. T's Commandment"

"Don't Talk to Strangers"

"The Toughest Man in the World"

"Mr. T, Mr. T (He Was Made for Love)"

"The One and Only Mr. T"

"No Dope No Drugs"

"You Got to Go Through It"

This is mostly the mid-eighties rap/funk that you'd imagine. My favorite track is the unexpectedly sultry and sensual "Don't Talk to Strangers." If you're with your girl and you're looking for music to set the mood, you gotta go with "Don't Talk to Strangers."

Notable is the fact that the "rap direction" (whatever that is) for the album was done by none other than Ice-T. If you were in on the studio sessions and you said, "Hey T, what are we doing on this track?" I wonder what would've happened.
