Speaker 1: Icey's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up
Speaker 1: is ice 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 found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm going to drop some knowledge from the other ice
Speaker 1: my man ice Cube. As far as ice Cube goes,
Speaker 1: me and him started out in hip hop around the
Speaker 1: same time in La He was the lead rapper in
Speaker 1: NWA and basically the term gangster rap was coined after
Speaker 1: ice Cube said the first lyrics to Stray Out of Compton,
Speaker 1: where he referred to NWA as the gang called niggas
Speaker 1: with attitudes, and the press said, hey, this is gangster rap,
Speaker 1: and we all rode with it from that point on.
Speaker 2: Before that, it didn't have a name.
Speaker 1: Ice Cube says, don't worry about being a star. Worry
Speaker 1: about doing good work and all that will come to you.
Speaker 2: Let me say that one more time.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about being a star, Worry about doing good
Speaker 1: work and all that will come to you. Now, somebody
Speaker 1: told me the other day that the number one thing
Speaker 1: that kids want to be today that you know and say,
Speaker 1: what do you want to be when you grow up?
Speaker 1: Would you believe the number one thing kids say is famous?
Speaker 1: They want to be famous. Now, what Ice Cub is
Speaker 1: saying is don't worry about being famous. Do the work
Speaker 1: and fame will come to you. But nowadays, with social media,
Speaker 1: you can almost be famous without doing anything. The only
Speaker 1: thing I can say about that is that fame doesn't last.
Speaker 1: It's hard to sustain fame without any how would I say,
Speaker 1: any talent behind it or any substance behind it. So
Speaker 1: I always believed in just do the good work first.
Speaker 1: Like right now I'm working on a new album. I'm
Speaker 1: not so concerned with any awards or anything. I just
Speaker 1: want to make the best album I can possibly make.
Speaker 2: So do the art first.
Speaker 1: Fame fortune all that will follow, if it should, if
Speaker 1: it's supposed to do. But concentrate on making the best product,
Speaker 1: being the best you, and you'll be surprised what will happen?
Speaker 1: You know, I just got a star on the Walk
Speaker 1: of Fame. That was never ever my agenda. As they say,
Speaker 1: that was beyond my wildest dreams. But it happened because
Speaker 1: after all these years, I guess they felt I put
Speaker 1: in enough work to get that star. Don't worry about
Speaker 1: being a star, worry about doing good work, and that
Speaker 1: will all come to you. This has been another ice
Speaker 1: cold fact from me, Ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow when
Speaker 1: I drop some wisdom on your ass. Till then, stay safe,
Speaker 1: stay smart, and stay knowing that hard work pays off.
