But with rap music - not just N.W.A. - but rap music in general, seeing these artists wearing these team logos all the time started bringing a synergy and energy about having to rep your city, your team, everywhere and all the time.

Doing it your own way, not having to go exactly by the book to be successful.

Don't get a movie confused with real life. I'm a well-rounded human being like everyone else.

Even though I have a nice house, nice family, the rest of my generation is still in South Central L.A. My cousins, my brothers, my sisters, they don't wanna move out. They don't want to and they don't have the means to sustain it. That's where my heart is and that's what I think about all the time.
Ice Cube

For me rappers and dancers are poets and artists and often times the most interesting performances are given by them.
Ice Cube

Gangsta to us didn't have anything to do with Al Capone and stuff like that. It's just about living your life the way you want to live it. And you're not going to let nothing stop you.

I am only 33, I've got a lot to do. This is the first half of my career. I'm looking forward to the future and I'm proud about the past.
Ice Cube

I do what I do. You like it, great. You don't, go listen to somebody else. I'm stickin' with the people who stuck with me.
Ice Cube

I have a really beautiful life right now, so there is no reason to be hostile. I'm a husband, a father and a man who tries to do the right thing in life and in my work.
Ice Cube

I have great people, smart people that are around me and we love the challenge. I guess it's like climbing a mountain or building a building. It's a challenge but you love every challenge that it brings or presents itself.
Ice Cube


I love any time you can enlighten people to mistakes, that's how I started my career.
Ice Cube

I love music. It's freedom, a way to deal with pent-up frustration.
Ice Cube

I really appreciate family. I really can't imagine life without them!
Ice Cube

I remember wishing there was snow in L.A. And how jealous we used to get of those Christmas specials with kids playing in the snow.
Ice Cube

I still enjoy doing music. I'm not going to stop doing it, and doing it the way that I feel it should be done.
Ice Cube

I think I'm unique to the game 'cause of my versatility.
Ice Cube

I think reading is important in any form. I think a person who's trying to learn to like reading should start off reading about a topic they are interested in, or a person they are interested in.
Ice Cube

I think the worst thing you can do about a situation is nothing.
Ice Cube

I was a very interested arts student, I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it's really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies, to me it's all art.
Ice Cube

I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.
