Speaker 1: Quest Love Supreme is a production of iHeartRadio. What's up, y'all,
Speaker 1: We're back with part two of Quest Love Supreme with
Speaker 1: the legendary Ice Tea. Yep, I just gave it so
Speaker 1: much game, we decided to make this a two parters
Speaker 1: so it makes sense, you know, because Ice is Daily
Speaker 1: Game is a new podcast where he offers daily wisdom.
Speaker 1: Make sure y'all check out part one when we talk
Speaker 1: about ICE's upbringing his music, and here's part two where
Speaker 1: Ic even gives us a sample of that Daily Game.
Speaker 1: All right, Quest Love Supreme Part two with the legendary
Speaker 1: Ice Tea. How easy was it? And transitioning to acting,
Speaker 1: like did it take long for Mario to convince you
Speaker 1: to do New Jack City?
Speaker 2: You got great questions because first off, I'm not no
Speaker 2: mother fucking acted like I mean, everybody looks at TV
Speaker 2: goes I wish I could do that, But who has
Speaker 2: a chance to do it?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: So I've been in the Breaking movies and the Break movies.
Speaker 2: I was called featured rap talker. How about that?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: They didn't even know what a rapper was? Right? So
Speaker 3: you heard a story about New Jack City?
Speaker 1: Well, I know about George Jackson's coining the term.
Speaker 4: But please, please, please, I don't know the story.
Speaker 2: I'm in a toilet, star in a club and some
Speaker 2: niggas is talking shit to me in the toilet, I'm
Speaker 2: taking a shit. I'm sitting there and motherfuckers is like
Speaker 2: ice you cold man?
Speaker 3: You be telling this that?
Speaker 2: And I say, yo, player, the problem is that they
Speaker 2: could take a microscope and find one molecule in my
Speaker 2: body that gave a fuck, then they'd have a chance.
Speaker 2: But there's not one.
Speaker 3: And so Mario overhears that and says, whoever said that
Speaker 3: are my movie? Whoever said that? And it was me.
Speaker 2: So I'm in the club campaigning to three girls, right,
Speaker 2: I'm talking this shit to these chicks, and Mario comes
Speaker 2: up with the Hollywood bullshit, I'm producing a movie.
Speaker 1: I want you to be in it.
Speaker 2: I'm like that some bullshit like you trying to let
Speaker 2: these girls know you're a producer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mario, Yo, you know who he was? Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I knew quest.
Speaker 2: You know the Hollywood bullshit When somebody walks up in
Speaker 2: the middle of your conversation with somebody, Hey we should work,
Speaker 2: Like shut the fuck up, like you sign me if
Speaker 2: you want to work like, this is so staged. So
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, ladies, this is Mario van peeple'sdy.
Speaker 3: But he wasn't lying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he hands me a card, so he calls
Speaker 2: me call Warner Brothers tomorrow. So I call it. They
Speaker 2: say come up here, but I come on this. I
Speaker 2: come through the gates. I get there and they show
Speaker 2: me the script. They want you to play Scottie. I
Speaker 2: read that shit quest. I was like, yo, this is
Speaker 2: all the words, like I thought it was a cameo.
Speaker 3: Nah, nah, this is a star. I'm like, I can't act, Yes,
Speaker 3: you can.
Speaker 1: I keep reading this.
Speaker 3: Niggas the Police? Yeah, I got an album coming out
Speaker 3: called Original Gangster. You want to play the Police?
Speaker 1: Wait a minute? Hold who he got dreads? I got
Speaker 1: a perm like.
Speaker 2: So I'm just totally like, noah, nah, I can't do this.
Speaker 2: But then I talked to people and they were like, man,
Speaker 2: if you fuck up this. Back at the Beauty Parliament,
Speaker 2: I got most of my game. I had this hairdresser
Speaker 2: named Pearl and she said, you niggas running around here
Speaker 2: talking about no opportunities, no opportunities, and here's one, and
Speaker 2: you're gonna turn this down. If you turn this down.
Speaker 2: You a real live sucker, because this is a great opportunity.
Speaker 2: Niggas know you ain't the police, nigga. You had to
Speaker 2: go up in there and do that gig and then
Speaker 2: I'll talk to my boys. They're like, I say, man,
Speaker 2: they want me to play the police. The niggas be like, word,
Speaker 2: can I.
Speaker 3: Be in the movie?
Speaker 1: That's all they That's all they care.
Speaker 2: So I did the movie, and I was scared shitless
Speaker 2: that it was going to end my career because at
Speaker 2: that time, no rapper had taken a dramatic role.
Speaker 5: Yet hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold.
Speaker 3: On, No, he's right, he is right, Will Smith the
Speaker 3: only thing run DMC did tougher than leather and all
Speaker 3: that old ship acting like somebody else does not.
Speaker 1: Nobody was the first.
Speaker 3: I told you, I'm on my first ship.
Speaker 1: Usually the first one who's the pioneer never gets the
Speaker 1: just desserts that the person that comes behind them does.
Speaker 1: So that is risky that you want to be first.
Speaker 1: But I always see history as the second person that
Speaker 1: masters it.
Speaker 3: But I did it, Pop did it.
Speaker 2: Everybody started doing it back in the day when when
Speaker 2: being a rapper like you want to act like you
Speaker 2: was betraying the culture like you.
Speaker 3: It wasn't. It just wasn't.
Speaker 2: At that time, Rappers wasn't even owning their own label.
Speaker 2: It was like Rappers was very in his own zone.
Speaker 2: So they got me. They got Chris Rock, who is
Speaker 2: the newest underground you know. Cat Wesley had only done
Speaker 2: two movies, Major League and a Spike Leaflip, so they.
Speaker 3: Didn't trip off this. They didn't have enough black actors
Speaker 3: to make the movie.
Speaker 1: I'm just wow, now we could.
Speaker 3: Do Black Panther.
Speaker 2: There were not enough young black actors that had any
Speaker 2: potential to pull a crowd.
Speaker 1: So they said iced tea selling millions of records.
Speaker 5: Right, you know, and Alan Payne and Vanessa Williams couldn't
Speaker 5: have done it alone, right Wesley or Wesley Wesley.
Speaker 2: So they used the power of the rapping Me and
Speaker 2: Chris being hot on the street, George Jackson and Doug mckenry.
Speaker 2: They put us in the row and the shit popped off.
Speaker 2: I was scared as fuck. The movie made eighty seven
Speaker 2: million dollars. I got paid twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: So by the time you get to Trespass and surviving
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 6: And Surviving again. Yeah, that's my favorite iced team movie.
Speaker 6: That's Thriving.
Speaker 1: Game is the one.
Speaker 2: Tip up this the second movie with Ricochet with Denzel Can.
Speaker 1: I ask how how is Hollywood? Because the thing is
Speaker 1: now it's nothing for rapper like for people to pivot
Speaker 1: into other areas and other mediums. But how's the reception
Speaker 1: to you coming into their territory Hollywood? Simple?
Speaker 2: If the movie you're in makes money, you're gonna be
Speaker 2: in another movie. That's just Hollywood. It's like his money.
Speaker 2: It's pimpot. If this whole can make me some money here,
Speaker 2: maybe you can make me some money there.
Speaker 1: They don't.
Speaker 3: They don't care. You know.
Speaker 2: Uh, they can't really tell what great acting is. They
Speaker 2: can tell what the fan response is, so they that
Speaker 2: works cool. So you know, New Jack City was a
Speaker 2: hit and comes some scripts. Let's see if he could
Speaker 2: it again. So I walked into Joel Silver's office, one
Speaker 2: of the biggest producers, and I said, okay, New Jack City.
Speaker 2: They fucked me, right, but I know I'm about to
Speaker 2: get paid. I'm with Denzel about to get paid. That
Speaker 2: the fucker looked at me as.
Speaker 3: An iced tea. You've done one movie. So I bent
Speaker 3: over and took it again. I got for for Ricochet,
Speaker 3: I got twice what I got for New Jack City,
Speaker 3: and I didn't work as much.
Speaker 2: Okay, got my payday didn't come till I did Tank
Speaker 2: Girl where I played the route lord.
Speaker 5: Where was that in the Surviving the game trestpad. I'm
Speaker 5: trying to remember tank where it was?
Speaker 3: And then it was Tank Girls Surviving the Game. Then
Speaker 3: I Johnny Knuemonic with Keanu Reeves, and then I did
Speaker 3: I was doing Johnny Mnumonic with Keanu Reeves and they
Speaker 3: called me.
Speaker 2: They say, well, you play a stripper in Arizona. I'm like, hell, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is my chance to know what it looked like.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I was on slow.
Speaker 2: You've seen the original gangster poster, so I was on
Speaker 2: my bullshit. So that night I did like a thousand crunches.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm about to let these ladies know what's happening.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So the next day they sent me a picture of
Speaker 2: a kangaroo. I'm like, what the fuck am I stripper?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: I opened my pouch like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: And they no, it's a ripper, It's a kangaroo. And
Speaker 2: the movie is called Tank Girl, right, could.
Speaker 4: You played a mixture?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you was a You gotta understand.
Speaker 3: I'm with Keanu Reeves doing a big motion picture. Now
Speaker 3: they're telling me to do something called tank Girl as
Speaker 3: a kangaroo. Yeah, Like, hey, y'all at your motherfucking mind,
Speaker 3: Like what's really good?
Speaker 2: And then they told me how much I was gonna
Speaker 2: get exactly, and uh, I was hopping around the hotel,
Speaker 2: you know, because they like when you sell out.
Speaker 1: I see, selling out is when something that's.
Speaker 3: Totally against your beliefs, you are right, when they can
Speaker 3: make you be quiet.
Speaker 2: I have nothing against fucking kangaroos. I have nothing at
Speaker 2: all against them. So I was like, fuck this, I'll
Speaker 2: be a motherfucker kangaroo and I.
Speaker 1: Got a bag for that.
Speaker 3: That's the first mil plus role.
Speaker 1: I'll say that. You know, America is now just adapted
Speaker 1: to festival lifestyle, but you know, you're a pioneer and
Speaker 1: the fact that you were one of the very first
Speaker 1: acts on Lollapalooza, which is really America's first true at festival.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, besides you know, farm Aid or
Speaker 1: you know whatever, but what was that the experience of Lollapaloza, Like,
Speaker 1: especially that first year where all this stuff was brand
Speaker 1: new to American culture.
Speaker 2: There's always a story behind ice T shit, But I
Speaker 2: like people to know so they can get a true
Speaker 2: understanding how this game is, because it's not as simple
Speaker 2: as that. Ernie body Count was now just starting. We
Speaker 2: were playing like pizza joints and just getting getting a
Speaker 2: vibe for what this band was.
Speaker 3: And Ernie had met Perry Farrell.
Speaker 2: Right, Harry Carroll was doing a video called The Gift
Speaker 2: where he wanted someone to sing Nigger Whitey with him.
Speaker 2: Sly Son shit right, So Ernie says, iced T iced
Speaker 2: T's hardcore. This is the perfect person. So I come
Speaker 2: to the video shoot. I know the song. I got
Speaker 2: no problem singing it with him, and we sang nigger
Speaker 2: Whitey backup, gonna call me nigger whitey, don't call me whitey, nigga.
Speaker 3: So we're doing this shit.
Speaker 2: So after we did the video, he says he I'm
Speaker 2: about to do a tour called Lollapalooza.
Speaker 1: It's gonna have butthole surfers, Rollin's band.
Speaker 2: He was naming bands he wanted to get and he said,
Speaker 2: I want to take a rapper out.
Speaker 1: Would you like to go? I'm like, hell yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2: So what happened was I had an hour set, fifty
Speaker 2: five minute set, and then they said you could do
Speaker 2: whatever you want, and I split the set and I
Speaker 2: did half iced Tea half body Count.
Speaker 1: That's where I introduced body Count to the world.
Speaker 2: And uh, after I would do my rap set. I said,
Speaker 2: now I'm about to prove to you that rock and
Speaker 2: roll has nothing to do with color. It's a state
Speaker 2: of mind. And we turned the guitars up and bow
Speaker 2: and that was it.
Speaker 4: You ain't want to remind them rock and roll was
Speaker 4: a jump anyway.
Speaker 2: So well, you know, hip hop is rock, whether people
Speaker 2: want to claim it or not.
Speaker 1: You don't. Aren't be the mic. We rocked the mic,
Speaker 1: We rocked the house. Rock.
Speaker 2: See, pop is when you sing what everybody wants to hear.
Speaker 2: This is what I learned this from Quincy Jones. Pop
Speaker 2: is easy to do. Sing what people want to hear.
Speaker 2: Go to school, love your mother, dah dah da.
Speaker 3: That's pop. Be popular. Rock is fucked that. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: do this shit my fucking way. That's rock.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Whether you do that with pianos, whether you do that
Speaker 2: with guitars, or you do that with.
Speaker 1: A mic or some drums. Hip hop is rock period,
Speaker 1: all right. I know you've been asked a trillion times
Speaker 1: about the cop killer incident, but no, no, I know,
Speaker 1: but you know, I also feel like that doesn't define you,
Speaker 1: especially now.
Speaker 3: But you know what it is though.
Speaker 2: You only get stripes for fighting battles, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So I'm very proud of my battles, you know,
Speaker 2: because that was a moment where I could have got
Speaker 2: taken out, you know, like.
Speaker 3: Not even just my career. They were trying to get
Speaker 3: rid of a nigga, you know.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know, Like how serious? How
Speaker 1: real did he get?
Speaker 2: The worst ship was bomb threats to Warner Brothers where
Speaker 2: they had to clear the building on several occasions, or
Speaker 2: what they were threatening to blow up Warner Brothers and
Speaker 2: they had to clear the building on several occasions on
Speaker 2: account of me because they were getting bomb threats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got heavy.
Speaker 5: Who's threatening because we're talking about the authority, So who
Speaker 5: is the threat?
Speaker 4: That's the interesting part.
Speaker 2: This is something you got to understand with beef. If
Speaker 2: you create beef, you might not have problems with the
Speaker 2: people you're beefing with. You have a problem with outside it.
Speaker 2: Let's say hypothetically I gotten a beef with let's say
Speaker 2: method man who's one of my good friends. I ain't
Speaker 2: got to worry about running a meth. I could run
Speaker 2: into some wu tang thingple. I could run into somebody
Speaker 2: who loves him at a restaurant. I could run into
Speaker 2: some girls that fuck you icing. It can happen. So
Speaker 2: when you justs the cops, you can run in somebody
Speaker 2: who's brother is a cop, an ex cop, somebody.
Speaker 3: Who's just a paked You set up energy of beef
Speaker 3: out there. You don't know where it's going.
Speaker 1: You never just beefing with one person.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, you're beefing with they fans, right, every fucking
Speaker 2: So I was, you know when we did cop Killer
Speaker 2: and they made it a big thing by it becoming
Speaker 2: so public, it gave more people a chance to dislike me.
Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't a small thing. It went national.
Speaker 2: Now you got to understand there's levels of news. Like
Speaker 2: all this shit is on the black blogs, that's nigga news.
Speaker 3: That's that news.
Speaker 2: You you ain't gonna know about that, But when it
Speaker 2: makes it to CNN, that's national news.
Speaker 3: All of what I'm saying, so a lot of this.
Speaker 4: Stuff, I gotta do it. I gotta do a parallel, folks.
Speaker 5: It's kind of like, well, Kiernan, I gotta do the
Speaker 5: white parallel because we can't just do nigga news. We
Speaker 5: gotta do cracker news too. So yeah, I just yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: I got you thought.
Speaker 3: But there's certain blogs that we listen to. Yes, right, yes,
Speaker 3: if you talk.
Speaker 2: To somebody in the mainstream, they have no idea that
Speaker 2: such and such as BT or they don't know about
Speaker 2: that stuff. TMZ is starting to leak a little bit
Speaker 2: of our business out there.
Speaker 3: But you know who's cheating on who? They don't care.
Speaker 4: This makes money.
Speaker 2: National news is coming on right after the war, and uh,
Speaker 2: you know Ukraine warn Rouquine.
Speaker 3: Now I see you and Warner Brothers. This is now.
Speaker 3: Now you're in front of the world. This is big ship.
Speaker 2: So you got to know, like a lot of the
Speaker 2: stuff that we take as big isn't really that big.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like cultural, you know, and it hasn't
Speaker 2: really made it to the to the mainstream.
Speaker 3: This ship was big. The President was on my bumper,
Speaker 3: you know, we were let me date myself. We were playing.
Speaker 2: Techno bowl, quest Ah, and my boy comes downstairs, like, yo,
Speaker 2: the President is on TV talking about ice and we
Speaker 2: ran upstairs and Quail so they're ice to you.
Speaker 3: So Quail's like ice to you, and all the homies
Speaker 3: in the house was like, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
Speaker 2: See, very few people will ever have a living president
Speaker 2: say their name and anger. That's saved for like terrorists
Speaker 2: and been Liden and shit like that. Right when the
Speaker 2: president is mad at you, fuck the police, you have
Speaker 2: the United States government on your bumper. I got tax
Speaker 2: arted it twice that year. I had ice cream trucks
Speaker 2: sitting in front of my house in the middle of
Speaker 2: the winter. These motherfuckers are on you. They try because
Speaker 2: when a president says questlove, this guy's a problem. All
Speaker 2: the FBIDA, all them do background checks because the next
Speaker 2: question could be what do we know about him? They
Speaker 2: can't say he plays on tonight's show, he's a drummer.
Speaker 1: They say his.
Speaker 2: Shoe size, is this, his blood type is this?
Speaker 3: This happens. When that happens, you feel it.
Speaker 2: You feel the government looking you up and down to
Speaker 2: try to find out because they had to check and
Speaker 2: see was I really trying to make a call to arms.
Speaker 2: Was I telling people go kill the cops my problem,
Speaker 2: which I was, and I was just making a record.
Speaker 1: Well wait, did you did you feel vindicated because Rodney
Speaker 1: King happens a year later?
Speaker 3: Now? They blamed Rodney King on me.
Speaker 2: They spun it to make it seem like I made
Speaker 2: that record because of Rodney King.
Speaker 3: I got caught in a big It was a it
Speaker 3: was a.
Speaker 2: Political year of the Colnel Order of Police out of Texas.
Speaker 2: Spun it. They spun it and made it seem like
Speaker 2: I caused the riots. They they they was on They bullshit.
Speaker 2: They had a big machine. But see here's the trip.
Speaker 2: They weren't really mad at me. They were mad at
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers because they were like, Okay, we understand ice
Speaker 2: T should be mad, but why White company give him
Speaker 2: the platform to say this? And that became the death
Speaker 2: of Warner Brothers. You gotta remember when I did that.
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers had Prince, Warner Brothers had a Slayer, They
Speaker 2: had the Ghetto Boys, they had Sam Kenniston, they had
Speaker 2: anything that was edgy. And that ended, and and and
Speaker 2: and when the last thing was when they dropped the
Speaker 2: deal with Innerscope, When that was all happening When Ted
Speaker 2: Turner came in, Warner Brothers had to separate from anything
Speaker 2: controversial because of me.
Speaker 1: I started the Wow. But for a second, did it
Speaker 1: feel like your bag was about to stop in terms
Speaker 1: of like people were not taking were you losing roles?
Speaker 3: Where you had New Jack City Part two?
Speaker 1: So there was going to be a sequel?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, me neither, but Nino lived. Well wait,
Speaker 1: you knew this about day?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw.
Speaker 1: I saw George Jackson.
Speaker 6: They they did an interview. This was years ago, but
Speaker 6: they mentioned it then, but it never.
Speaker 2: What happened was Wesley went off and he did Demolition
Speaker 2: Man and made seven million, and you know, I was
Speaker 2: in trouble. So now they can't hit Wesley's number because
Speaker 2: the whole movie Knwjack was made for five million. Everything happened,
Speaker 2: but nah.
Speaker 1: You know I got You know.
Speaker 2: What happened though, is like when you get in some
Speaker 2: shit like this. I never pointed in any other rappers.
Speaker 2: I never pointed at any other rock groups because I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 2: this is my heat, and you know, to me, that's
Speaker 2: kind of like like snitching. It's kind of like, Yo,
Speaker 2: you got caught, nigga handle your business.
Speaker 1: Take it.
Speaker 2: This is your shit. So you've never seen icy, Well,
Speaker 2: what about this group or what about Noah. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: you on me, let's go fuck it. But the way
Speaker 2: they came at me, I didn't know if I was
Speaker 2: gonna survive. You know what I'm saying. But I just
Speaker 2: had to stand my ground and I and I remember
Speaker 2: I met with Minister Farakhan at Honorable Elijah Muhammad's house
Speaker 2: and in all honestly, he just told me, he said,
Speaker 2: what you did wasn't subtle.
Speaker 3: If you stand in the street, expect to get hit
Speaker 3: by car.
Speaker 2: So I had to learn that we have freedom of speech,
Speaker 2: but watch what you say and you have I had
Speaker 2: the right to sing cop killer, but they also had
Speaker 2: the right to attack. So anything you say, prepare for
Speaker 2: the ramifications of what you say.
Speaker 1: And I was not.
Speaker 2: Prepared for the ramifications. I would just singing some shit
Speaker 2: and I wasn't ready for them to attack.
Speaker 3: So that's a lesson. You know, you could say anything.
Speaker 2: We all have the right to say anything, but you
Speaker 2: also gotta be if you say something anti gay, be prepared.
Speaker 2: You did what I'm saying. If I mentioned any rapper's name,
Speaker 2: be prepared. So just don't be reckless talking and shit
Speaker 2: and think there won't be no smoke, you know, And
Speaker 2: if I do say it, I should be ready for
Speaker 2: that smoke.
Speaker 1: You know. If I'm Colin Pat Kaepernick and I dropped
Speaker 1: down and I.
Speaker 3: Gonna pull a kneel, I gotta know that NFL is
Speaker 3: gonna make a move on me.
Speaker 2: And I gotta be strong enough to handle that. Or
Speaker 2: I shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1: They don't do it, you know.
Speaker 2: So don't don't protest and get fired now because you
Speaker 2: got fired, Because to protest, you gotta you gotta be
Speaker 2: prepared for the hit.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a hit back, or you're not really
Speaker 3: protesting nothing.
Speaker 1: Oh, I had to g there for us.
Speaker 6: I wanted to ask about the Home Invasion record because
Speaker 6: that one came on priority. What led to that change
Speaker 6: from Warner to.
Speaker 2: Party because after Cop Killer, Warner was scared to put
Speaker 2: my records out. So what happened was I came in
Speaker 2: with Home Invasion because now I'm consecutive. I had every
Speaker 2: record I put out with Gold and Power termed platinum.
Speaker 2: I'm hot over there, but they just went through some
Speaker 2: ship body count itself now it so it so gold twice.
Speaker 3: It went gold with cop Killer, then when gold without
Speaker 3: cop Killer on it. Wow, I'm making money over there
Speaker 3: for them.
Speaker 1: And I came in.
Speaker 3: And they had my lyrics written on these big boards.
Speaker 2: They wrote it out, and uh, I had some file lit.
Speaker 2: I had this one rhyme in G style where I
Speaker 2: say I give a fuck about a cop or a
Speaker 2: G man.
Speaker 3: They all talk shit, They're breath smelling like semen. I
Speaker 3: catch them in the alley all alone. Put him in
Speaker 3: the prone pop pop pop to the don't So I'm
Speaker 3: still killing cops right.
Speaker 1: Alone.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, you know that's that's what I do.
Speaker 2: So they pull this lyric out, that lyric out, this
Speaker 2: lyric out, and I was just like.
Speaker 1: You know, what, can I go? You asked to go?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, can I go? Because now I'm in
Speaker 2: a difficult place. They never A and R any of
Speaker 2: my music. It was just good, go body counts. You
Speaker 2: get out an album called cop Killer. I love it
Speaker 2: over there. I'm in a great.
Speaker 1: Place, but now it should change.
Speaker 2: So Home Invasion was coming right after cop Killer, so
Speaker 2: they let me go?
Speaker 1: Can I something? Was Benny Medina part of any of
Speaker 1: these meetings.
Speaker 2: Benny Medina was the A and R guy back in
Speaker 2: the day, but he never A and R me because
Speaker 2: he was Warner, not uh sire. Benny was a good
Speaker 2: cat up there. He did the uptown thing. And Benny
Speaker 2: was always a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: And and he was cool with me. Okay, but I'm dealing.
Speaker 3: With Moe Austin and Lenny Warnerker, I'm dealing.
Speaker 1: With the top guys, and.
Speaker 2: They were They really didn't want me to go, but
Speaker 2: they were. It was kind of like it was a
Speaker 2: fucked up situation. I was getting them in trouble and
Speaker 2: I'll never forget. They were like, as soon as we
Speaker 2: allow them to censor, you're we're up shit Creek and
Speaker 2: and and Warner stayed down with me, even Gerald Levin
Speaker 2: wrote a big thing in the in the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 2: the CEO of Time Warner backing me up. And I
Speaker 2: just felt like, it's kind of like me and you

Speaker 2: so I'd go to priority. Brian Turner did nw A
Speaker 2: and all them. They were still open and why and
Speaker 2: they was ready and they took the record. But I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what Warner did and nobody knows this. They
Speaker 2: didn't charge me for the album. So normally, let's.
Speaker 3: Say they gave me half a million dollars to make
Speaker 3: that album. That was a lot of money back in
Speaker 3: the days. Now people are getting threes and five millions
Speaker 3: to make records. But half a million. I didn't have
Speaker 3: to recoup it.
Speaker 1: They let you keep your tapes and just go to
Speaker 1: So that was fly. That was fly.
Speaker 2: They didn't say, hey, you could take this album, but
Speaker 2: we got to get the money back. They just let
Speaker 2: me have it. So I took it over there and
Speaker 2: I was fighting with the source, and you know, the
Speaker 2: source was talking.
Speaker 1: Ship can't remember that, because yeah.
Speaker 3: They said I folded. They were like ice gave in,
Speaker 3: and you know, and Chuck kept me saying because Chuck

Speaker 1: in here?
Speaker 3: Yes, that's why.
Speaker 2: On the record you like Home Invasion, the first song

Speaker 2: trying to turn that into beef.
Speaker 1: It ain't beef.
Speaker 2: It's just no, it's no beef. It's a story, and
Speaker 2: the story there was beef.
Speaker 1: I thought he I thought he sampled you or the song.
Speaker 2: The new podcast people like to take clips of what
Speaker 2: you say and then twitch it look like jay Z
Speaker 2: stole the song.
Speaker 1: No, he cleared it.
Speaker 4: You can't do that.
Speaker 1: Did. Chris rock Ever tells that story on on his episode.
Speaker 2: Ninety nine Problems Come from Brother Marquise, and Brother Marquise
Speaker 2: was at my house and he was talking about whoop

Speaker 5: Time, hey, because some of us have watched, like we

Speaker 5: on being sergeant, and also condolences my brother on losing
Speaker 5: your friend Richard Belzer, like we we watched y'all together
Speaker 5: and even behind the scenes, we watched all friendship.
Speaker 1: So wait a minute, Oh, but weren't you responsible for
Speaker 1: I put it out there that I wanted to be
Speaker 1: a dead body on the show. One of y'all made
Speaker 1: it happen. I did, Thank you. I forgot y'all. I'm
Speaker 1: a dead body on Law and Order.
Speaker 5: So okay, So my question is most challenging storyline on
Speaker 5: SBU for two old.
Speaker 2: For ic the requests came in from Quest and it
Speaker 2: got on the on the grid up there, and then
Speaker 2: the line that of course I'm the black guy. So
Speaker 2: they go quest Love wants to be on the show.
Speaker 3: What's he like?
Speaker 2: That's how they always ask, like they don't they want
Speaker 2: to bring someone out on the show, but they don't
Speaker 2: want it to be Prima Donna.
Speaker 3: He's extra. I say, he's a great person.
Speaker 2: I mean, Yo, if you got a chance to put
Speaker 2: quests on the show, Joe fo so I can't go,
Speaker 2: I co signed you because they don't know they bring
Speaker 2: a nigga up there, nigga might wile out.
Speaker 3: Yo. Snoop came up there and smoked the whole place out.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's the rue. You just gotta know.
Speaker 5: So all right, So back to my fan out question.
Speaker 5: Though it was there most challenging storyline, I appreciate. I
Speaker 5: just want to say how Chutuola has become an amazing
Speaker 5: grandfather to his gay sons, husbands and the children and whatnot.
Speaker 5: But what has been a challenging storyline for you in
Speaker 5: this journey?
Speaker 1: Anything that does with children bothers me.
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, I got a problem with you know, pedophilia,
Speaker 3: and all that old, weird, old shit.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't rock with that. I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think street cats fuck with that.
Speaker 1: That's just real. You know you're not gonna do well
Speaker 1: in prison with that. You know.
Speaker 2: You know what the definition of pedophilia is mm. It
Speaker 2: means you're into things that are preprovescent. H that's nasty.
Speaker 2: That's nasty. So anytime we're dealing with that kind of shit,
Speaker 2: I personally got an issue with that shit.
Speaker 1: That's nasty to me.
Speaker 2: And I got on that show and the storylines are
Speaker 2: so crazy and so dark and so weird, but they're
Speaker 2: real shit.
Speaker 1: It's real stuff.
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you a funny when, like one season,
Speaker 2: I come back and they tell me you're getting married.
Speaker 1: I'm like, to who, They're like, Phoebe. I'm like, who's Phoebe?
Speaker 2: That's the girl from three seasons ago that wasn't gonna
Speaker 2: hook up with you?
Speaker 3: So when did we get together? Over COVID? The fans
Speaker 3: know it, so I had to talk.
Speaker 4: It was kind of a few shout out to Jennifer Esposito.
Speaker 4: I'm mad. I know everything that goes on in this show,
Speaker 4: but I'm.
Speaker 2: Glass Jennifer got engaged and we let that rock out
Speaker 2: the whole season and we didn't get married.
Speaker 1: But do you get a saying like the direction that
Speaker 1: your character goes? Not really?
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm an I've learned to add quests, so
Speaker 3: I don't really care.
Speaker 1: Where my character goes as long as it doesn't die,
Speaker 1: you know, because close calls where it's like, okay, we
Speaker 1: got to talk to you or go to dinner. Like
Speaker 1: how do you know if your character is getting because
Speaker 1: you're not shot.
Speaker 3: You get shot, I mean you get shot in the
Speaker 3: script and you see the shot. Then you go like this,
Speaker 3: oh shit, don't breath. I'm breathing on taking ship.
Speaker 2: I survived that, you know. But now there's a producer
Speaker 2: or Lauren Ordter, we call the Grim Reaper. He takes
Speaker 2: me to dinner. It's around.
Speaker 1: So when you get taken to dinner, you already know. Yeah.
Speaker 3: See, I'm I'm gangster with them. You know.
Speaker 2: I signed up with Dick Wolf and I'm like his
Speaker 2: ride or die. I've been on five shows with Dick Wolf, right,
Speaker 2: so he understands. And when I I told them on
Speaker 2: some real ship, I said, if y'all gonna get rid
Speaker 2: of me, give me six months advance, so I could
Speaker 2: book a tour or something.
Speaker 1: Just don't do me. Don't just do me that.
Speaker 3: I deserve that.
Speaker 2: And now being the longest running actor in television, they
Speaker 2: owe me that, you know, you know, so I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm good with them. I told Dick Wolf straight up.
Speaker 2: I told him, I said, I'm on the show to
Speaker 2: the wheels all off. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I I'm there.
Speaker 2: I don't have no plans in leaving, and you know,
Speaker 2: all things come to an end. We weren't getting ready
Speaker 2: to start the twenty fifth season, and at some point
Speaker 2: it'll be over. And then I'm just gonna go out
Speaker 2: and read for Samuel Jackson's parts.
Speaker 1: Oohy, it's really gonna be over. I think that show
Speaker 1: is basically built to last.
Speaker 5: Well, as long as you are, Mariska, to be honest,
Speaker 5: that's what I was wanting. I was like, you were, Mariska.
Speaker 5: I feel like, as long as y'all are, there is
Speaker 5: there at least an outside of the show, a relationship
Speaker 5: between you and Riska as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I told Mariska's point blank. I say, in my life,
Speaker 2: I have three women. I have my two daughters and
Speaker 2: my wife, But I've made more money.
Speaker 3: With you, Mariska. So you got to understand where you
Speaker 3: stand in my life.
Speaker 2: Me and Mariska twenty five years, that's longer than you
Speaker 2: went to high school college. Who you know that you like,
Speaker 2: like Quest has been with Jimmy every day. When you starting.
Speaker 1: Relationships where you're with somebody every day for years and
Speaker 1: years and years and years, that's me and Tarik. Like,
Speaker 1: I think I've had a longer consistent every day relationship
Speaker 1: with Tarik than my my parent, like my family, anyone.
Speaker 4: You've seen him more than all of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 4: And I thought about this icy.
Speaker 5: I was like, what does it icy feel like to
Speaker 5: know that, like, he's been a cop longer than he's
Speaker 5: been an EMC. I mean, well, you're always gonna be
Speaker 5: an MC, but longer than you've been making records.
Speaker 4: I put it that way.
Speaker 1: I've been acting like a cop. I'm not no motherfucking cop.
Speaker 4: I know that's right.
Speaker 1: You better tell me.
Speaker 3: Like a cop.
Speaker 2: But you know, the thing of it is is that
Speaker 2: if you hire, if you hire a streetcat to play
Speaker 2: a cop, you get more of an official cop because
Speaker 2: the cops is really are really thugs, right, you know,
Speaker 2: so the way they handle themself. If you get a
Speaker 2: square he and he acts like a cop. He acts
Speaker 2: like a rookie cop. But as the cops get older,
Speaker 2: they pick up the lingo. If you ever dealt with
Speaker 2: a DA you'll swear to God you're talking to drug dealers.
Speaker 2: If you ever talk to a mob cop, you swear
Speaker 2: to God you're talking to somebody's to the mob.
Speaker 3: They pick up the lingo.
Speaker 2: So Dick Wolf was like, if I cast Ice as
Speaker 2: a cop, you get a cop with an interesting dynamic.
Speaker 3: When I'm interrogating somebody.
Speaker 2: You you, you, the viewer, feel like Ice about to
Speaker 2: smack the ship out this nigga. Yep, yes, now here's
Speaker 2: something for you. Acting like a cop and a gangster
Speaker 2: are the exact same acting. It's see, both of you
Speaker 2: got a gun, both of you got an attitude, and
Speaker 2: both of you say if I don't get what I want,
Speaker 2: there will be a consequence.
Speaker 3: So it's an ad it's an energy that is gangster.
Speaker 3: But you just have a bad same shit.
Speaker 2: So a lot of times when I'm acting, I'm not
Speaker 2: thinking like a cop.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, yo, motherfucker, you finna do what I
Speaker 3: want you to do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fucking fuck you up.
Speaker 4: I love watching it. I just love watching you. I
Speaker 4: really do. I really do.
Speaker 5: I just I think for your fans that we just
Speaker 5: love an evolution, even where they where you are in
Speaker 5: the police force.
Speaker 2: Now, the beauty of it is for me in LL
Speaker 2: is that our fans have matured with us.
Speaker 3: So you probably were with us when we were rapping, and.
Speaker 2: Now you know, you're not necessarily listening to a hip
Speaker 2: hop like that anymore. But you've grown up and your
Speaker 2: mother's and this, that and the third. But we're still
Speaker 2: the people you grew up with. Our fan base has
Speaker 2: matured with us.
Speaker 5: But it's also seeing y'all as whole men too, Like
Speaker 5: seeing you show feelings, seeing you all the things. It's
Speaker 5: just beautiful to watch, even if you are acting. But
Speaker 5: I know that when you went own your house, some
Speaker 5: of that stuff goes home.
Speaker 1: To some of it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, speaking of a home, And like with your marriage, man,
Speaker 6: how did you make that transition from being in the
Speaker 6: streets to you know, going straight?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The thing of it is that when a woman meets
Speaker 2: the right man, it's the right time. When a man
Speaker 2: hits the right time, he'll be ready for the right woman.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, yeah, that's sure.
Speaker 2: So men we're kind of like no good up to
Speaker 2: thirty five years old because we have to go through
Speaker 2: the same thing they went through. See, women, they mature
Speaker 2: earlier because at seventeen, if a girl's hot, she's in
Speaker 2: the club, she's she's living the life we can't live.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she in the car with the forty year old niggas.
Speaker 1: Right right, think about it.
Speaker 3: I didn't get in the Bends until I bought one,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: So they make.
Speaker 2: Sure they mature much faster because life opens for them earlier.
Speaker 2: When you see all these girls in bikinis laid out
Speaker 2: on the yacht. Them bitches don't own that yacht. They're
Speaker 2: on the take Q.
Speaker 3: We can't get on the yacht unlet's buy it, right,
Speaker 3: So the life happens for.
Speaker 2: The But here's the problem. Here's the problem. When y'all
Speaker 2: is slowing down, we're just taking off. Yeah at twenty seven,
Speaker 2: when the woman sees thirty and she's like, I need
Speaker 2: to slow down and figure it out.
Speaker 6: The guys just getting his bag.
Speaker 3: And so it's a stagger with us.
Speaker 2: So what happens is I had a girlfriend Darlene who
Speaker 2: was on my covers. Me and her were like together
Speaker 2: for fifteen years, but I never got married because I
Speaker 2: already knew what kind of nigga I was, you know,
Speaker 2: still in you know, moving, I'm just becoming famous through one.
Speaker 3: Don't marry nobody. It's just getting at the beginning of fame.
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, yeah, it's you never.
Speaker 2: It's an onslaughter pussy and you just have to weather
Speaker 2: that's shit. And you think, anyway, what happens is when
Speaker 2: I met Coco. When I met Coco, I was forty
Speaker 2: two years old, and I was done. I've been to
Speaker 2: the theme park, I've been to everything, I've done this,
Speaker 2: and now I was ready, and you know, I needed
Speaker 2: to find somebody. And since she had matured earlier, she
Speaker 2: had been running when she was seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, so when I met her, she was kind
Speaker 2: of done. And in the words of Pimp and Kin,
Speaker 2: one damn bitch is worth ten funky hose, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So you know, at some point I
Speaker 2: chose and and fortunately it's stuck like glue. We've been
Speaker 2: mad at for twenty two years and crazy man, it's beautiful.
Speaker 3: It was. It was just it was just the right chick,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: She she liked me.
Speaker 3: Like when I met her, I had on a red
Speaker 3: snake skin suit.
Speaker 1: Oh you know I was. I was on some.
Speaker 3: Player shit and a video. She's like, ooh, that's flyve.
Speaker 4: What co go from?
Speaker 1: Was she running with?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, she could do that, Okay.
Speaker 3: But she but she liked this. I'm too much for
Speaker 3: most girls.
Speaker 2: They like nigger worded out of your work work mouth
Speaker 2: is pimping ho and bitches. And she's like, ooh, ooh,
Speaker 2: top that shit.
Speaker 3: She liked. She liked me.
Speaker 2: So I finally found a woman that really accepted me,
Speaker 2: and I liked her. She was always you know, she's
Speaker 2: out there, you know, borderline exhibitionist. She likes showing herself.
Speaker 2: She's fun and I dig it. She ain't right for everybody.
Speaker 2: So a lot of times people will come to me
Speaker 2: and go, well, give me some advice. I said, I can.
Speaker 2: I can tell you how. I can tell you how
Speaker 2: to be married to my wife. I can't tell you
Speaker 2: how to be married to yours. I know what it
Speaker 2: takes to make her happy, but I don't know what
Speaker 2: you might be dealing with. So, but you know, we
Speaker 2: always say men settle where they find peace. And my
Speaker 2: wife does not argue, she doesn't raise her voice. She's
Speaker 2: very peaceful, she's very nice and week and she has
Speaker 2: me happy, has me wanting to stay in the house
Speaker 2: and play video games, and she's enough for me.
Speaker 3: And what you play? What games? What games you want?
Speaker 1: What you be on? Oh? Duty and first person shooters?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you're shooters. Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 3: But you know one thing about relationships, don't brag on
Speaker 3: them because you'll jinx yourself.
Speaker 4: Oh god, you got as precious word. Come on im,
Speaker 4: you know it's.
Speaker 3: I'm in a good place.
Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, you ever notice, like when
Speaker 2: you watch basketball wives, none of them are really the wives. Yes,
Speaker 2: because the wives aren't doing no fucking interviews. The wives
Speaker 2: are happy, they're in the mansion, they're doing great.
Speaker 3: They don't want to talk. They x wives running.
Speaker 2: Their motherfucker mouse. But go to somebody's wife in life,
Speaker 2: don't talk. I don't want to talk about it. So well,
Speaker 2: I'll keep it quiet. Everything's good on the icy front.
Speaker 1: I love it. Wait time out, Steve, do you remember
Speaker 1: our fourth day at Fallon? I forget which writer ran
Speaker 1: in to ask me, I forget the writer, but she
Speaker 1: ran and says, am, here, do you know who Ice
Speaker 1: t Hea is? And I was like yeah, no iced Tea.
Speaker 1: And they wanted me a broker, like I guess one
Speaker 1: of the one of the Fallon writers had maybe Morgan Morgan,
Speaker 1: maybe I forget it was, but like she had she
Speaker 1: had snarked a comment on Twitter, and they wanted us
Speaker 1: to translate the roots, like what does this mean? Like
Speaker 1: should I run out of state or should I? I
Speaker 1: was like, no, it's I forget what your response was.
Speaker 1: But they were obviously not used to playing the dozens
Speaker 1: or any of that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: And a bitch from it's Twitter though, you know it's Twitter.
Speaker 2: It's like yo, whatever.
Speaker 1: My fourth day Fallon literally like I just remember having
Speaker 1: to walk in the writer's room and calm this person down,
Speaker 1: like okay means right exactly.
Speaker 3: Does not mean it's a dick.
Speaker 1: It means eat a dick, all right?
Speaker 3: So whatever. You know what, man, people they don't know how.
Speaker 2: To really respond to certain people. They don't know what's up.
Speaker 2: They don't you know, people come over my house, they
Speaker 2: expect to see people hanging off meat hooks and ship.
Speaker 2: Do you understand because they pick up a persona from you.
Speaker 2: They might just listen to my records. They might listen
Speaker 2: to body count. They don't know who I am really.
Speaker 3: You're somebody.
Speaker 4: Daddy like you a whole.
Speaker 2: Like you know me better than some They'll take a
Speaker 2: small thing and turn that.
Speaker 1: Into my whole persona.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, So you know it is
Speaker 2: what it is, man, But you know, let me do
Speaker 2: my shameless plug.
Speaker 3: Please second check on the daily game.
Speaker 2: The daily game was something that I would do on
Speaker 2: Twitter because when I first got on Twitter, I realized
Speaker 2: it was mob rules, and I said, you have to
Speaker 2: get a crew, you got to get people to fuck
Speaker 2: with you. So I needed something to make you go
Speaker 2: back to my page because Twitter is nothing but a
Speaker 2: chat room.
Speaker 3: It's a chatroom.
Speaker 2: It's going right now and talking back and forth and
Speaker 2: in this million person a multimillion dollar, million person chatroom.
Speaker 2: If you follow quests, that means I'm interested in what
Speaker 2: he's saying versus everybody else. But if you have a
Speaker 2: timeline with a thousand people his tweet, just shoot. So
Speaker 2: the only way you really can make Twitter work is
Speaker 2: if I go to your page like I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: see what Quest said today. So I cram up with
Speaker 2: this thing called The Daily Game, and it's just jewels
Speaker 2: I got from players and iHeartRadio dug them and said, hey,
Speaker 2: why don't we turn this into a podcast. So the
Speaker 2: podcast is iced Ty's Daily Game. It's on Spotify, and
Speaker 2: every day I drop a jewel and then I break
Speaker 2: it down like what the lady wanted Quest to do.
Speaker 2: So you know shit like I if it feels like
Speaker 2: you're going in circles, it's probably.
Speaker 1: Because you're cutting corners. You understand me, you know.
Speaker 2: So there these are little tidbits I got from different
Speaker 2: players and different people, and I quote Aristotle, Socrates, all
Speaker 2: kinds of different people, Tyler Perry, I quoted Jimmy. So
Speaker 2: anytime somebody says something, I'm like, you know, we call
Speaker 2: it a jewel.
Speaker 1: Hold on, So tune into the Daily Game.
Speaker 2: You can tune in once a week and hear like
Speaker 2: five of them, and I did a year's worth. I
Speaker 2: recorded two hundred and fifty of them. Took about four sessions.
Speaker 2: In four sessions, six hour sessions, so twenty four hours.
