"Cop Killer" was replaced by a new version of "Freedom of Speech," a song from Ice-T's 1989 solo album "The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech... Just Watch What You Say!". The song was re-edited and remixed to give it a more rock-oriented sound. Ice-T left Warner Bros. Records the following year because of disputes over the Ice-T solo album "Home Invasion", taking Body Count with him. Despite the controversy, the album received some praise, including A- reviews from "Entertainment Weekly" and "The Village Voice", who later ranked the album among their list of "The 40 Best Albums of 1992". "Variety" reported that the album had sold 480,000 copies by January 29, 1993.
