Rapping is a vocal delivery, so you can do it without being part of hip-hop and not knowing what hip-hop is about.

More quotes by Ice T
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.

A lot of times people would offer me movies and, because I'm a car freak, I'd look in a magazine and say, 'How much is this car? If you give me this car I'll show up and do the movie' I call 'em 'sports car flicks'.
Ice T
When I got a chance to rap, I just busted my ass. When I got a chance to act, I busted my ass. Anytime I get a chance. I'm not wasting time. I won't do it if I'm not doing it 110 percent. You've got to work hard if you want to play hard. I like to play, but I know I gotta bust my ass.

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

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 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 mean rappin' to me is easy, it's something you can do over a week.
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
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
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 in the music has done some outrageous things.

Diet food is for lazy people.

I was a pretty bad person early in my life.
Ice T
I didn't start off with the responsibility because I didn't think anybody would care. But as you do meet these people influenced by your music, then you start to understand you have a responsibility. I don't think you initially know it until you feel the power of what you're really doing.

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
Hip-hop is a competition culture. It's based around, My DJ is better than you. My graffiti artist is better than you.
Ice T
I think when people say 'real hip-hop,' they want it more buried in the streets. They want it more connected to the streets and the grime and the roughness of the streets. They don't want the fluff.

When the President (of the United States) mentions your name in anger, you know the sh*t has hit the fan!
