Quote

If one person comes in and says, this is the way life should be, I think you're asking for chaos. I think you gotta let different people live different ways. It's a big world.

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.

Hip-hop is a competition culture. It's based around, My DJ is better than you. My graffiti artist is better than you.

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.

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

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

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'.

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.

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

Truthfully, a weak rapper can hide behind a lot of production.

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?!

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.

I'll never sell 14 million like Hammer, I just wanna do a good Ice-T show.

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

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

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.

Hollywood has its own way of telling stories. I was just telling stories that I was familiar with. And it's what I want to do in the future: I want to take my audio cinema and put it on the screen.

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.

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.
