The right to bear arms is because it's the last form of defense against tyranny.

A good emcee will rhyme a lot of different ways. Don't limit yourself.

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.

I don't feel that rap has been respected as an art form. Because people have seen rappers rap off the top of their heads, they don't think it is difficult.

It's like a paradox. For one side, being popularized rap got better and the other side of it got worse. It's very pop and it's very different now. When you make it as pop and as soft as it is, it lacks its integrity. It lacks its accountability. It lacks a lot of other things that came from that dangerous time in hip hop.

The trick with hip-hop-hip-hop is a sport. The only music that's really, really close to a sport. It starts off, My DJ's better than yours. I can out-rap you, I can out-dance you, my graffiti piece is better than you. It's very competitive.

You can't just sing the song and live another life.

The next day, I got a phone call from him and he told me to come and read for a movie called New Jack City. So I went over there and they told me I was gonna wear dreads and play a cop.

I'm very much against the anonymity of bloggers and social media. I just hate it and I think it's really cowardly.

If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut.

One of the things about powerful people is they have the ability to make it look easy.
Ice T
Image
I just don't believe that there's any way that you're ever gonna get one peace, because everybody has different ways of seeing life.

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.

It's not about being mad at everything. It's about being really mad at the right things.

Anybody who speeds thinks they can outsmart the cops.

Rap music came along and saved my life. I started to tell the stories of the streets and that was my way out.
Ice T
Image
I was doing the wrong thing, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing. It's like if you're dealing with somebody who is high on drugs, they can look back at it and say, Wow, I was destroying myself. But during the period, they think they're doing the right thing. You just have to let the smoke clear so you can see the whole picture.

I write rhymes with addition and algebra, mental geometry.

I'll never sell 14 million like Hammer, I just wanna do a good Ice-T show.

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.
