More quotes by Ice Cube
I think my fans respect me for bein' as truthful and honest as you can be and still be Rap music and not be opinion music. It's still Rap, its still style, flavor, flair, and people just kind of like how I present myself and the things that I do.

My worst ever car was a green Datsun B210, back when they called it 'Datsun' - now it's 'Nissan.' Very unsexy, unattractive. Girls hated the car. I was embarrassed to even be in it but it was my transportation.
Ice Cube
Don't talk about death, I've got too much life to live, To many orders to give.

Ice Cube
The '80s was brand new. It was AIDS. It was gangbanging. It was starting to become big dope-dealing, and crack was starting to flood the neighborhoods. And then you had hip hop, which was something new, other than what we were doing, which was sports, playing football, basketball, baseball. And I was excited.
Ice Cube
I'm always the less is more guy when it comes to a scene. So I'ma be the one who will keep it grounded. Even if I let it go off and go crazy, I'm still the voice of keeping things grounded in reality.
Ice Cube
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall with a joint, drinking some eight-ball.
Ice Cube
If you really think back to the culture or just black America before rap music took off, New York could have been Paris.

I can't really attribute my success onscreen to any formula and suggest you do this or that to make it as an actor.
Ice Cube
I'm trying to cut down a little on eating, on sodium, keep my blood pressure down, which is tough. Because I love food! I do, but it's unfair how everything that's bad for you tastes so good, and all the good stuff, veggies and green things, doesn't match up.
Ice Cube
You know it ain't no stoppin' All the doggs I'm droppin' It's Friday night, so everything is poppin.
Ice Cube
Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.
