WEBVTT - Dope and Humble

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Ice Te's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Up Sise Team. You're listening to the Daily Game, the

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>This quote is something I keep in mind. They'll keep

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 1>you focused and motivated. You can be dope and humble

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>at the same time. I mean, the thing of it

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>is is people think, you know, you can't be fly

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and then be humble. I've always said, you know, in rap,

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>we like to brag a lot. We like to say

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm this, I'm that, I'm this. But in real life,

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>all these compliments can't come from you. The person that's saying, hey,

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm this, I'm that, they're usually saying it because nobody

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>else is saying it. The greatest compliments come from people

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>behind your back, when you're not in the room and

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>they're saying, you know, Ice is a cool guy, Ice

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>is this, or Ice is that. They'll also say the

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>bullshit about you, like he's a piece of shit. You know,

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>she thinks she's all that, but she ain't. You know,

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.119
<v Speaker 1>what people say to your face is less important than

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>what they say behind your back. I remember when I

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>met Eminem and I asked him what he wanted out

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>of the game, and he said, all I want to

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>do is be around like you and Dre. And my

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>comment with him was, you know, be a beast on

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the mic, and be humble in real life. And I

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>think he followed that advice because if you can rap

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>like him, you don't need to tell people you're a

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>great rapper. You show it and you prove it, so

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 1>you could be dope. But in real life you don't

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>have to be walking around telling people who you are

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and this, that and the third that's corny. Let them

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>say it. Let them say, oh, well, she's beautiful. That's

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>like a woman telling you I'm beautiful. Don't I look good?

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, somebody is not telling you that, you know,

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>And if you need to do that, hey, that's cool

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>for you. But the best compliment is when somebody behind

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>your back is saying, why she's gorgeous, she looks great today.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>That's beautiful, not you saying it about yourself, So remain humble.

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>It works for me. You don't need to brag, you know,

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>unless you're doing a rap record where we brag that's

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>just part of that game, you know. But in real life, man,

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>just humble yourself to reality that you're just a human

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>being and you're just here with everybody else. You may

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>have a different job, you may have a few more dollars,

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you may be a little more fortunate to somebody. But

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.679
<v Speaker 1>why are you telling me that. I'll tell you one thing.

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>One of my buddies, Kenny Red, rest in peace. He

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>gave me the best game about being humble. He said,

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you never have to tell anybody how much money you got,

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>how you are with the women, your style, your flash costs.

0:02:55.200 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>If it's real, it's gonna show. Listen. If it's real,

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna show. So you could be humble because if

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>it's real, it's gonna show. This has been another ice

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>cold fact from me. Iced team. Listening again tomorrow when

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe,

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:29.040
