More quotes by Ice T
I'll never sell 14 million like Hammer, I just wanna do a good Ice-T show.
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
Winners have to absorb losses.
Ice T
One of the things about powerful people is they have the ability to make it look easy.
Ice T
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.
Ice T
Any New York group can come to L.A. and sell out every show, but an L.A. group who goes to New York might not do the same because the audience hasn't been introduced to the group.
Ice T
Diet food is for lazy people.
Ice T
Real men hold themselves accountable for stuff.
Ice T
A good emcee will rhyme a lot of different ways. Don't limit yourself.
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
Redemption just means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong.
Ice T
I'm a big fan of all styles, even Biggie and Wu-Tang, but I gotta do my thing.
Ice T
I'm at a point where I don't have to wait for the income from the record to survive, so I'm in a comfortable zone, but I'll make rap records as long as I feel I have something to rap about.
Ice T
You know, you'd hide behind a Public Enemy or Ice Cube, or Bruce Springsteen, or U2, because they spoke for you. But now everybody's bloggin'. I heard somebody say, Blogging is just graffiti with punctuation. Everyone's an authority so there's nobody in power, 'cause everyone thinks they're in power.
Ice T
The right to bear arms is because it's the last form of defense against tyranny.
Ice T
My father's family came from Virginia and Philadelphia. He wasn't a brother who talked a lot. He was a working man, a quiet, blue-collar dude.
Ice T
I think what's happenin' is that, with the overflow of music, it's been diluted. There was a time when people would go search out underground records. Now, underground means free, and people don't really care for it. So now artists tend to go more pop and look for the radio.
Ice T
If I do a song where I'm angry, when it's time to perform it live I'm not mad, I'm happy. I'm at a concert. But I have to somehow drum up that rage. That's acting.
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
Rapping is a vocal delivery, so you can do it without being part of hip-hop and not knowing what hip-hop is about.
