Speaker 1: Icey's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up
Speaker 1: is sized Tea? You're listening to The Daily Game, the
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,
Speaker 1: I have some wisdom from a true gangster, Al Pacino,
Speaker 1: or at least an actor who's played one of the
Speaker 1: greatest gangsters of all time, Scarface. Al says, the hardest
Speaker 1: thing about being famous is that people are always nice
Speaker 1: to you. You're in a conversation, everybody's agreeing with whatever
Speaker 1: you're saying, even if you're saying something totally crazy. You
Speaker 1: need people who will tell you what you don't want
Speaker 1: to hear. This is really important, and I think it's
Speaker 1: been the downfall of a lot of celebrities. You get
Speaker 1: surrounded by yes people, and the yes people probably are
Speaker 1: on the payroll, and they're afraid to tell you when
Speaker 1: you're doing something wrong.
Speaker 2: You have to have a close friend.
Speaker 1: You have to have people that can say nah, nah,
Speaker 1: stop it. I mean, we've all seen celebrities and wealthy
Speaker 1: people come off the rails and you're asking is there
Speaker 1: no one around telling them?
Speaker 2: Anything.
Speaker 1: Fortunately for me, the people that can talk to me,
Speaker 1: my boys that are in prison, and they made mistakes
Speaker 1: that I was able to, you know, sidestep, but they
Speaker 1: watched me. They listen to my interviews, they listen to
Speaker 1: the Daily Game, and they tell me, I do not
Speaker 1: send anybody to prison. Don't glamorize this shit, because you know,
Speaker 1: it's fun at the beginning, but it's pain in the end.
Speaker 1: And I've got people I let listen to my music
Speaker 1: and I can hear when they go nah, not that
Speaker 1: one you could get.
Speaker 2: You're hotter on this one. You know.
Speaker 1: I've known producers that were going to studio and put
Speaker 1: up terrible music just to see who would bob they
Speaker 1: head in the studio, just to eliminate them from the
Speaker 1: sessions because they're just agreeing and they're afraid to be
Speaker 1: like nah. So you do need people that'll be honest
Speaker 1: with you. It's very important. It's very important all throughout
Speaker 1: your life. If you don't have a family member, if
Speaker 1: you don't have a parent, or you just as a girl,
Speaker 1: you need a close girlfriend that'll say nah, baby, no,
Speaker 1: na nah nah, not always yes, and those are sometimes
Speaker 1: way more important than the yeses.
Speaker 2: The nose.
Speaker 1: The ones that are gonna say I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't think. So those are hard to come by, especially
Speaker 1: if you're paying their rent and you're paying their bills.
Speaker 1: But they are very necessary. But they have to know
Speaker 1: how to do it. There's ways of doing it. They
Speaker 1: still have to be delicate with you because they can
Speaker 1: tell you something you want to hear, but tell it
Speaker 1: to you in a fashion that offends you, and you
Speaker 1: still tell them to fuck off because the way they
Speaker 1: brought it to you is they have to bring it
Speaker 1: to you correctly. Al Pacino said, the hardest thing about
Speaker 1: being famous is that people are always nice to you.
Speaker 1: You're in a conversation, everybody's agreeing with whatever you're saying,
Speaker 1: even if you're saying the craziest shit. You need people
Speaker 1: who will tell you what you don't want to hear.
Speaker 1: I always tell people medicine doesn't taste good, So if
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something that you need to hear,
Speaker 1: it may not taste that good. This has been another
Speaker 1: ice cold fact from me iced tea. Listening again tomorrow
Speaker 1: when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then,
Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, it stay knowing that everyone needs.
