The real is always presented. That hardcore record or movie is not needed in the hood, because it's already there. You can see it with your own eyes.

More quotes by Ice Cube
Early in my career, people wanted to hear music about protest, about trying to change things.
Ice Cube
A good movie is a movie that you could see over and over again, not a movie that wins a Oscar, or a movie that makes a lot of money. It's a movie that you personally can watch over and over again. That, to me, is a measure of a good movie.
Ice Cube
The best thing I've done with my money is buy a house for my family. You wake up to a house you love and you feel like somebody.
Ice Cube
To me, in a perfect world, you have the flavor and the magic of movies like 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon and Bad Boys.
Ice Cube
Once you figure out what your own thing is it's all about trying to develop shows, programs that can, I guess, enhance what you already have and what you can add to Hollywood.
Ice Cube
Nobody I know got killed in South Central LA. Today was a good day.
Ice Cube
I love Godzilla, but my favorite was on this TV Show, Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot. I used to love the idea of having a giant robot under my control. That was like a dream come true for a kid.
Ice Cube
Twerking has to end. Not for the ones that look good doing it, but for all the ones that you feel, 'You don't have enough to twerk back there. Your twerkin' look like jerkin.'
Ice Cube
You pay to have a good time, you don't always want to pay to be schooled or sad or reminded how bad you got it. To me a movie theater ain't always the place for that.
Ice Cube
Anybody that really knew Tupac will tell you the same thing. That he was just a dude that was full of life, full of energy.
Ice Cube
You always want your kids to step up at the moment of truth.
Ice Cube
If you love what you do, and you believe in your talent, there's nothing better than breaking through. There's no better feeling than breaking through.
Ice Cube
You don't have to be super clean to be a super star
Ice Cube
There's a lot of talent in South Central L.A., in Compton and Long Beach and Watts, and the city north of Pico pretty much sits back and waits for that talent to emerge and then steps in.
Ice Cube
Embrace what makes up you. Some stereotypes are true - I love chicken, but that's a stereotype, I love f**king basketball, but that's a stereotype, too. But who cares? Embrace it. Be who you are, and don't be ashamed of what that is.
Ice Cube
If you really look at my lyrics, nobody's exempt. Nobody's exempt from observation, criticism or what I think is correction.
Ice Cube
I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young, but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills.
Ice Cube
We'll burn your store right down to a crisp.
Ice Cube
I knew a dude whose entire check was going to his car. He didn't care. This is back when the Mustang 5.0 came out in, like, '82. Between paying the note and insurance, I think he had like $40 left. A lot of people knew people because of their car, and not them.
Ice Cube
Some people have a taboo about doing advertising in the States. You know, where they kind of make their bread and butter. But to me, that's crazy.
