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

More quotes by Ice T
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.
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
in the mornin' po-lice at my door Fresh adidas squeak across the bathroom floor Out the back window.. I make a escape Don't even get a chance to grab my old school tape
Ice T
The best way to listen to the album is to put it on, get some Moet, lay back with your boys, and kick it.
Ice T
I think everybody wants to redeem themselves after they've done something that might be considered negative. I don't think anyone wants to go to the grave negative.
Ice T
I don't watch daytime television, I have a job, I work and, you know, I think daytime television is really for women.
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
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
If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut.
Ice T
I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin'. If I say it, I gotta be able to back it up.

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
As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you to take the role and make it real.
Ice T
I'm competitive in that I would like to outsell my last record.
Ice T
I didn't really realize how big I was 'til I started to tour, because being in your own neighborhood, people don't actually give you full props.
Ice T
Half the rhymes you write, you're saying that you're better than the other MC. That's how we keep the craft sharp.
Ice T
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?!
Ice T
I'd say people are victims of circumstances and they're limited to the opportunities that they see. Even though there might be more opportunities, you might not see them. You might just think, I don't have any options. You usually go to the dark side, in that situation.
Ice T
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.
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 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.
