Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ice Te's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Up Sise Team. You're listening to the Daily Game, the
compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
This quote is something I keep in mind. They'll keep
(00:21):
you focused and motivated. You can be dope and humble
at the same time. I mean, the thing of it
is is people think, you know, you can't be fly
and then be humble. I've always said, you know, in rap,
we like to brag a lot. We like to say
(00:43):
I'm this, I'm that, I'm this. But in real life,
all these compliments can't come from you. The person that's saying, hey,
I'm this, I'm that, they're usually saying it because nobody
else is saying it. The greatest compliments come from people
behind your back, when you're not in the room and
they're saying, you know, Ice is a cool guy, Ice
(01:04):
is this, or Ice is that. They'll also say the
bullshit about you, like he's a piece of shit. You know,
she thinks she's all that, but she ain't. You know,
what people say to your face is less important than
what they say behind your back. I remember when I
met Eminem and I asked him what he wanted out
of the game, and he said, all I want to
do is be around like you and Dre. And my
(01:24):
comment with him was, you know, be a beast on
the mic, and be humble in real life. And I
think he followed that advice because if you can rap
like him, you don't need to tell people you're a
great rapper. You show it and you prove it, so
you could be dope. But in real life you don't
have to be walking around telling people who you are
(01:45):
and this, that and the third that's corny. Let them
say it. Let them say, oh, well, she's beautiful. That's
like a woman telling you I'm beautiful. Don't I look good?
I mean, somebody is not telling you that, you know,
And if you need to do that, hey, that's cool
for you. But the best compliment is when somebody behind
your back is saying, why she's gorgeous, she looks great today.
(02:07):
That's beautiful, not you saying it about yourself, So remain humble.
It works for me. You don't need to brag, you know,
unless you're doing a rap record where we brag that's
just part of that game, you know. But in real life, man,
just humble yourself to reality that you're just a human
(02:29):
being and you're just here with everybody else. You may
have a different job, you may have a few more dollars,
you may be a little more fortunate to somebody. But
why are you telling me that. I'll tell you one thing.
One of my buddies, Kenny Red, rest in peace. He
gave me the best game about being humble. He said,
you never have to tell anybody how much money you got,
(02:51):
how you are with the women, your style, your flash costs.
If it's real, it's gonna show. Listen. If it's real,
it's gonna show. So you could be humble because if
it's real, it's gonna show. This has been another ice
(03:13):
cold fact from me. Iced team. Listening again tomorrow when
I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe,
stay smart, and stay hustling. Ices Daily Gaining us a
production of iHeartRadio, Final Level Entertainment and Audity, an Asylum
(03:35):
