More quotes by Ice T
Being happily married, I’m more focused on what I’m doing. Ya know, one of my quotes is ‘love isn’t looking somebody in the eyes it’s looking out in the same direction.
Ice T
I think when people say 'real hip-hop,' they want it more buried in the streets. They want it more connected to the streets and the grime and the roughness of the streets. They don't want the fluff.
Ice T
You have the core hip-hop, which would just be beats and breaks, more something like what you hear with DJ Premier. Then you get into the more highly produced hip-hop, which is something like what DJ Khaled does. But at some point, it starts to get kind of pop.
Ice T
I always knew that I had to direct. That was something I'd wanted to do. Finally, I was just looking at the situation and I said, I wanna document hip-hop, as an art form, seeing how a lot of people don't take it seriously.
Ice T
I like crime movies where the crime is so incredible that, attractive as it seems, you don't wanna do it because it's just too dangerous.
Ice T
I'm like a monkey. You don't let go of one branch until you get a hold of the other.
Ice T
With the invention of the blog and all this Internet stuff, everybody has an opinion everybody has a voice. In fact, there was a time when the average person didn't have a voice so you had to pick an artist to speak for you.
Ice T
Winners have to absorb losses.
Ice T
The music led to the acting. But movies aren't something you can just will yourself into. Someone has to choose you, and you have to be quite fortunate to be chosen.
Ice T
I was a pretty bad person early in my life.
Ice T
Rapping is a vocal delivery, so you can do it without being part of hip-hop and not knowing what hip-hop is about.
Ice T
A good emcee will rhyme a lot of different ways. Don't limit yourself.
Ice T
Diet food is for lazy people.
Ice T
I've never been a cop hater. You know, when I was breaking the law, the cops were the opponent. I just thought I could outsmart them.
Ice T
I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks, put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about.
Ice T
I look at my career and I feel I have the potential to maybe mature into a Samuel Jackson-type older cat, and people will still respect me and say 'Yo, Ice-T was wild', into my old age. And why not? I don't necessarily think I'll be rapping in 10 years.
Ice T
Another thing about me dealing with the old school rappers, you see a lot of humility. When you're new, nothing is wrong. Everything is tight. Because you're trying to hype the world into believing in you.
Ice T
I'm a far cry from politically correct, because I don't really care what the political views are. I don't care what the people say. I'll say my opinion. That will always make you controversial.
Ice T
I think that a rap aficionado, the hardcore rap fan, will always go away from pop, in the same way a hardcore jazz fan will never think Kenny G is really a jazz artist. You gotta kind of know there's always going to be that purist who's going to be like if it ain't beats and rhymes, if there ain't a DJ, then that ain't Hip Hop.
Ice T
If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut.
