More quotes by Ice T
Winners have to absorb losses.
Ice T
Any New York group can come to L.A. and sell out every show, but an L.A. group who goes to New York might not do the same because the audience hasn't been introduced to the group.
Ice T
I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks, put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about.
Ice T
Half the rhymes you write, you're saying that you're better than the other MC. That's how we keep the craft sharp.
Ice T
It really really sunk into me when I went to Europe and they take rap so much more serious than we do here. That was the first time I ever heard rap considered folk music. And sometimes somebody will make you understand like, Hey, what you doin' is serious, don't play it lightly 'cause it's changin' my life.
Ice T
When the President (of the United States) mentions your name in anger, you know the sh*t has hit the fan!
Ice T
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?!
Ice T
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
I mean rappin' to me is easy, it's something you can do over a week.
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'll never sell 14 million like Hammer, I just wanna do a good Ice-T show.
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
Well, I am very happy that I was able to play a part in bringing music from the streets onto the radio and into modern culture, I worked very hard and always believed in the sounds I was creating.
Ice T
I'm on the front line and I am a rapper.
Ice T
I don't watch daytime television, I have a job, I work and, you know, I think daytime television is really for women.
Ice T
...As an artist, you need the naysayers and the nonbelievers to add fuel to your creative fire.
Ice T
I always knew that I had to direct. That was something I'd wanted to do. Finally, I was just looking at the situation and I said, I wanna document hip-hop, as an art form, seeing how a lot of people don't take it seriously.
Ice T
The best way to listen to the album is to put it on, get some Moet, lay back with your boys, and kick it.
Ice T
Ultimately I am happy that everybody is embracing hip hop and the sounds from the streets.
Ice T
Redemption just means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong.
