More quotes by Ice T
I'm very much against the anonymity of bloggers and social media. I just hate it and I think it's really cowardly.
Ice T
Anybody who speeds thinks they can outsmart the cops.
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.
Ice T
When you hit the wall, it's how fast you come back.
Ice T
Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.
Ice T
I've always been a person that, if I'm with a woman, she's in the picture. Even my son's mom, she was on my early (album) covers.
Ice T
If it sells, it sells. If it doesn't sell, I'll go make a movie.
Ice T
You have the core hip-hop, which would just be beats and breaks, more something like what you hear with DJ Premier. Then you get into the more highly produced hip-hop, which is something like what DJ Khaled does. But at some point, it starts to get kind of pop.
Ice T
Passion makes the world go round. Love just makes it a safer place.
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
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.
Ice T
The right to bear arms is because it's the last form of defense against tyranny.
Ice T
Truthfully, a weak rapper can hide behind a lot of production.
Ice T
Rap is rock 'n' roll. Rock is when you push the buttons in the system when you say, I'm not going along with what you're saying. That's rock, whether it's done with guitars, or it's done with just beats.
Ice T
I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin'. If I say it, I gotta be able to back it up.
Ice T
Winners have to absorb losses.
Ice T
If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut.
Ice T
A lot of people play single to work some angle. I'm always about keeping it real. If that's how I'm living, that's how I'm living.
Ice T
When I make records I have full control of everything and I know how it sounds before it comes out, with films it's outta my hands.
Ice T
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.
Ice T
