0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Icey's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>is ice Tea? You're listening to the Daily Game, the

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to drop some knowledge from the other ice

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>my man ice Cube. As far as ice Cube goes,

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>me and him started out in hip hop around the

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>same time in La He was the lead rapper in

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>NWA and basically the term gangster rap was coined after

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>ice Cube said the first lyrics to Stray Out of Compton,

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>where he referred to NWA as the gang called niggas

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>with attitudes, and the press said, hey, this is gangster rap,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and we all rode with it from that point on.

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Before that, it didn't have a name.

0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Ice Cube says, don't worry about being a star. Worry

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 1>about doing good work and all that will come to you.

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 2>Let me say that one more time.

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about being a star, Worry about doing good

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>work and all that will come to you. Now, somebody

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>told me the other day that the number one thing

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>that kids want to be today that you know and say,

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>what do you want to be when you grow up?

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Would you believe the number one thing kids say is famous?

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>They want to be famous. Now, what Ice Cub is

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>saying is don't worry about being famous. Do the work

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>and fame will come to you. But nowadays, with social media,

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you can almost be famous without doing anything. The only

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>thing I can say about that is that fame doesn't last.

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to sustain fame without any how would I say,

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>any talent behind it or any substance behind it. So

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I always believed in just do the good work first.

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Like right now I'm working on a new album. I'm

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>not so concerned with any awards or anything. I just

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>want to make the best album I can possibly make.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 2>So do the art first.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Fame fortune all that will follow, if it should, if

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>it's supposed to do. But concentrate on making the best product,

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>being the best you, and you'll be surprised what will happen?

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I just got a star on the Walk

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>of Fame. That was never ever my agenda. As they say,

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>that was beyond my wildest dreams. But it happened because

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>after all these years, I guess they felt I put

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>in enough work to get that star. Don't worry about

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>being a star, worry about doing good work, and that

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>will all come to you. This has been another ice

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>cold fact from me, Ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow when
