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.

Dog's just want to sniff an ass and eat some food.

Half the rhymes you write, you're saying that you're better than the other MC. That's how we keep the craft sharp.

I think everybody wants to redeem themselves after they've done something that might be considered negative. I don't think anyone wants to go to the grave negative.

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 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.

You can't get what you want all the time in life.
