I'm on the front line and I am a rapper.

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'm very much against the anonymity of bloggers and social media. I just hate it and I think it's really cowardly.
Ice T
My father died early. My mother died early. I started hanging with the gangs. I'm on the streets I'm committing crimes. And the music came along, and this music just took me on a different road.
Ice T
There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it.
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.

Hollywood has its own way of telling stories. I was just telling stories that I was familiar with. And it's what I want to do in the future: I want to take my audio cinema and put it on the screen.
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
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.
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
I've been pulled out of my nice new car and laid out in the street by the police, interrogated and then have them get in the car and roll off leaving me lying in the street without even saying 'Get up.' The humiliation that they can put on a black man because they determine that you ain't got the money.
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
You know, the radio never wanted you to speak about anything, so the music is kinda influenced by the hands of the radio which wants to homogenize it and dilute it and sanitize it. And for the most part, nobody's takin' the time to seek out the cats that are still tryin' to talk, so they have a difficult time being heard.
Ice T
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.
Ice T
Redemption means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong. So I think a lot of people get hooked on drugs and when they get over that addiction they go out and they try to talk to kids and they try to work in rehab centers.
Ice T
I'll never sell 14 million like Hammer, I just wanna do a good Ice-T show.
