Speaker 1: Ice Te's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up Sise Team. 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.
Speaker 1: This quote is something I keep in mind. They'll keep
Speaker 1: you focused and motivated. You can be dope and humble
Speaker 1: at the same time. I mean, the thing of it
Speaker 1: is is people think, you know, you can't be fly
Speaker 1: and then be humble. I've always said, you know, in rap,
Speaker 1: we like to brag a lot. We like to say
Speaker 1: I'm this, I'm that, I'm this. But in real life,
Speaker 1: all these compliments can't come from you. The person that's saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm this, I'm that, they're usually saying it because nobody
Speaker 1: else is saying it. The greatest compliments come from people
Speaker 1: behind your back, when you're not in the room and
Speaker 1: they're saying, you know, Ice is a cool guy, Ice
Speaker 1: is this, or Ice is that. They'll also say the
Speaker 1: bullshit about you, like he's a piece of shit. You know,
Speaker 1: she thinks she's all that, but she ain't. You know,
Speaker 1: what people say to your face is less important than
Speaker 1: what they say behind your back. I remember when I
Speaker 1: met Eminem and I asked him what he wanted out
Speaker 1: of the game, and he said, all I want to
Speaker 1: do is be around like you and Dre. And my
Speaker 1: comment with him was, you know, be a beast on
Speaker 1: the mic, and be humble in real life. And I
Speaker 1: think he followed that advice because if you can rap
Speaker 1: like him, you don't need to tell people you're a
Speaker 1: great rapper. You show it and you prove it, so
Speaker 1: you could be dope. But in real life you don't
Speaker 1: have to be walking around telling people who you are
Speaker 1: and this, that and the third that's corny. Let them
Speaker 1: say it. Let them say, oh, well, she's beautiful. That's
Speaker 1: like a woman telling you I'm beautiful. Don't I look good?
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody is not telling you that, you know,
Speaker 1: And if you need to do that, hey, that's cool
Speaker 1: for you. But the best compliment is when somebody behind
Speaker 1: your back is saying, why she's gorgeous, she looks great today.
Speaker 1: That's beautiful, not you saying it about yourself, So remain humble.
Speaker 1: It works for me. You don't need to brag, you know,
Speaker 1: unless you're doing a rap record where we brag that's
Speaker 1: just part of that game, you know. But in real life, man,
Speaker 1: just humble yourself to reality that you're just a human
Speaker 1: being and you're just here with everybody else. You may
Speaker 1: have a different job, you may have a few more dollars,
Speaker 1: you may be a little more fortunate to somebody. But
Speaker 1: why are you telling me that. I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 1: One of my buddies, Kenny Red, rest in peace. He
Speaker 1: gave me the best game about being humble. He said,
Speaker 1: you never have to tell anybody how much money you got,
Speaker 1: how you are with the women, your style, your flash costs.
Speaker 1: If it's real, it's gonna show. Listen. If it's real,
Speaker 1: it's gonna show. So you could be humble because if
Speaker 1: it's real, it's gonna show. This has been another ice
Speaker 1: cold fact from me. Iced team. Listening again tomorrow when
Speaker 1: I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe,
Speaker 1: stay smart, and stay hustling. Ices Daily Gaining us a
