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

Redemption means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong. So I think a lot of people get hooked on drugs and when they get over that addiction they go out and they try to talk to kids and they try to work in rehab centers.

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

People think I'll kill you if you make a joke. I compare it to Clint Eastwood. I've only seen Clint Eastwood in movies. You think if you make a joke to Eastwood, he might shoot you.

I'm competitive in that I would like to outsell my last record.

I was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in Summit, an upscale town in north Jersey. There was this tiny area of Summit where most of the black families lived. My parents and I lived in a duplex house on Williams Street.

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.

Anybody who speeds thinks they can outsmart the cops.

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.

So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.
Ice T
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.
Ice T
Image
It's not about being mad at everything. It's about being really mad at the right things.
Ice T
Image
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.

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

I write rhymes with addition and algebra, mental geometry.

Image
The music led to the acting. But movies aren't something you can just will yourself into. Someone has to choose you, and you have to be quite fortunate to be chosen.

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