...As an artist, you need the naysayers and the nonbelievers to add fuel to your creative fire.

You know, the radio never wanted you to speak about anything, so the music is kinda influenced by the hands of the radio which wants to homogenize it and dilute it and sanitize it. And for the most part, nobody's takin' the time to seek out the cats that are still tryin' to talk, so they have a difficult time being heard.

I've never been a cop hater. You know, when I was breaking the law, the cops were the opponent. I just thought I could outsmart them.

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

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.

I have to take what I say and make it heavy, so every single bar means something. And there's no riddles in my rhymes. Every single word means something.

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'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.

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

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.

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
Image
Rap music came along and saved my life. I started to tell the stories of the streets and that was my way out.

I don't watch daytime television, I have a job, I work and, you know, I think daytime television is really for women.

If it sells, it sells. If it doesn't sell, I'll go make a movie.

I mean rappin' to me is easy, it's something you can do over a week.

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.

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.

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

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.

One of the things about powerful people is they have the ability to make it look easy.
