To put it lightly, he was a drug kingpin, but accurately, he was a psychopath. This was the kinda guy Danny Cort aka DannyUp was. But unfortunately, today’s turning into a ‘save my ass’ kind of day.” – Quote from Season 1, episode #19 “ CATS”. He’s gonna die if he doesn’t get to a hospital!”Ĭort: “Look, I would if this was a ‘saving the kid’ kind of a day, maybe. Torres: “Listen, you’ve gotta take this kid with you. Ice-T was ruthless, relentless, & was one of the most underrated & overlooked villains of our time. It forever changed JC’s character on the show, even made him slightly crazy after Sandy’s death (which was amazing by the way). He was raising the flag for dark-skinned brothers everywhere at the time, and of course I had to ride for that! Not to say whenever I think of this show I think of Ice-T, but he had a major impact on the show that you couldn’t shake.

His start in New Jack City was great, but I’ll always associate that movie with Wesley Snipes, who in this movie was at the height of his powers with his charismatic forceful personality & his dark-skinnededness. To be honest, I’m still not crazy about his songs. I know I’m supposed to hold Colors in high regard, but maybe I was too young to fully appreciate it or it just sailed over my head back then. Listen, as a rapper, I really wasn’t the biggest fan of Ice-T. Right then & there, I became a fan of Ice-T.
#Ny undercover tv
Outside of Dwayne Wayne breaking up Whitley’s wedding in A Different World, & Optimus Prime actually dying in the Transformers movie, I can’t remember a time when a TV show threw me for a loop like that, but this was so brutal, you felt for JC like it was your brother. Like someone sucker punching kicking you hard in the stomach right when you’re swallowing some food. Anyone who watched that episode remembers, you were left stuck in your chair with the air completely sucked out of you. I’m not even sure if mind blowing is the right term to describe it. By having Cort run up in JC’s apartment (after his right hand man Big Dawg tracks down JC’s address), impersonating someone making a delivery to Sandy & then shooting the living daylights out of her with a machine gun…. Normally with these network shows, maybe the villain would try to exact revenge by maybe holding the cop’s loved one hostage or something, but usually the good guys prevail at the end no worse for wear. This is where everything flips on its head. Oh & let’s remind you, this whole shootout all happens a couple of days before JC gets married to his fiancee Sandy. JC ends up killing Cort’s younger brother with the monster afro. Once Cort got out, he tried to run another operation again that ended up being foiled by JC & Torres in a wild shootout. Torres helps break up the operation being undercover & puts Cort behind bars. Quick rundown of the beef: In one of the earlier episodes from Season 1, Cort ran an elaborate CAT drug lab that communicated through ghost emails & pagers (as high end as technology got back then). Their relationship was the definition of a blood feud. Those were just small tremors compared to the contempt Cort & JC had for each other. John Santucci & his mafia, Adolfo Guzman and his gang who beat Torres up when he kept messing with his Dad. Safe to say this was the best villain in the history of the show. Danny Cort.Ĭee: The 90s version to Avon Barksdale. In Part 2, myself & Headley Bent wonder if this show can work in 2014, our favorite episodes, and the one and only……. Twenty years ago this week Executive Producer Dick Wolf and FOX Network launched the first episode of New York Undercover, which starred Malik Yoba and Michael DeLorenzo as Detectives J.C. We here at South Shore Ave are gassing up the DeLorean & taking you back to 1994 where we bore witness to a groundbreaking show that influenced a generation.
