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.

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

I'm just disillusioned with the hip-hop sound right now. It's too materialistic. You know, I'm the kind of guy ... I can't do that. If you track my movement, you'll never see a picture of me with any girl that wasn't mine, or my own car. My jewelry, my clothes. What kind of gangsta rapper has a stylist? A stylist?!

You know, I say in my lyrics, Every word I write will be analyzed by somebody white. It's just that I know that this sh*t is just not gonna fall on deaf ears.

I think all music - not just rap - has fallen into this very diluted, delusional state, where everyone's singing about money and having cars, and having all this fun when really, people are losing their homes.

So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.

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.

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.

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.

I'm like a monkey. You don't let go of one branch until you get a hold of the other.

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.

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.

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

Real men hold themselves accountable for stuff.

There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it.

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

Anybody who speeds thinks they can outsmart the cops.

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.
