Quote

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.

I've got a phone, answer machine, TV set, computer, hand grenade - everything you need to run a business in Los Angeles.

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.

The best way to compliment an emcee is to say his lyrics. That's how you say, Hello.

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.

I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin'. If I say it, I gotta be able to back it up.

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.

Ultimately I am happy that everybody is embracing hip hop and the sounds from the streets.

When you start to really travel and you get to these abstract like places in the world, you would see certain people's names. It seemed like we could go anywhere. Like when we went to Afghanistan, you'd see in the dressing room Run DMC's name. Certain rappers are like journey men.

People think I'll kill you if you make a joke. I compare it to Clint Eastwood. I've only seen Clint Eastwood in movies. You think if you make a joke to Eastwood, he might shoot you.

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.

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 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.

A lot of people play single to work some angle. I'm always about keeping it real. If that's how I'm living, that's how I'm living.

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

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.

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