Ice Spice goes deep on her debut album 'Y2K!,' Taylor Swift, dealing with haters, and much more
many things to many people: a wildly popular cartoon character, an endlessly renewable source of memes, a sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. To, he’s an icon of hard work and hustle. We’re sitting in a private room at a steakhouse in New York City’s Meatpacking District in mid-June, talking about the era that inspired her. “I think I learned a lot from that show,” Ice says. “He never wanted a day off, even when Mr. Krabs would tell him, ‘Go the fuck home.
It seems fitting that Ice Spice would be concerned with the fleeting nature of time, since she has managed to become one of the most recognizable young rappers on Earth in just a few years.
Swift says she was struck by Ice’s ability to navigate the pitfalls of fame and the music industry so early in her career. “I love when I meet a new artist who takes a keen interest in not just the music, but the music industry and how it works,” Swift says. “I’ve seen how our industry tries to convince artists that they’re better off just being creative and making music and letting the labels and the management do the rest.
“It’s so interesting how that took a turn,” Ice tells me. “That’s one thing that I didn’t expect. The first time I introduced ‘Miss Poopie’ was on ‘Deli.’ I said: ‘I’m the shit, I’m that bitch, I’m Miss Poopie,’ right? It just means I like shitting on bitches, I like shitting on niggas. It’s just what I like to do. I be shitting.

ICE SPICE WAS BORN Isis Gaston on Jan. 1, 2000, a date that coincided with intense global anxiety over the future of technology — fitting for an artist at the forefront of a generation that was raised on smartphones. She recalls the stories her mother told her about what went down as she came into the world: “The day before she gave birth to me, there was a blackout or something like that, and she said everybody was panicking. People were smashing their computers.

I think it’s the New York in her. And as a woman in New York, too, I’m assuming you have to be strong,” he says. “She used to tell me that in high school she was always the hot topic. So I feel like she’s been used to people talking about her for good or for bad, whatever it is.
The day before that BET triumph, I meet Ice as she rehearses at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. She arrives in the greenroom around noon, wearing Givenchy boots and a miniskirt, and immediately begins to assess all of the work they still have to do. She remembers watching awards-show performances on TV growing up: “I’d be like, ‘Oh, that was awkward. Why the fuck would they do that? Why was she looking there?’ When you’re doing it yourself, you’re like, ‘OK, this is a lot.
