Rap Flap Continues: The Dallas-based Sound Warehouse record-store chain has joined the boycott of rapper Ice-T’s controversial “Cop Killer” song. The chain decided to stop selling the album “Body Count,” which contains the song, at its 145 stores in 14 states on Friday. Last week, Super Club Music Inc., an Atlanta-based chain, removed the record from its stores, as did Trans World Music Corp. Ice-T has defended “Cop Killer,” saying the song is intended to condemn police brutality. The song includes the lyrics, “I’m ‘bout to dust some cops off.”
