My Main Thing Is Music;

More Than Half Of All The Hip Hop Record Sales Are White People, And I Think That Might Be A Result Of My Record Helping People To Accept Hip Hop.

I Turned A Lot Of People In White America - And Not Just White America, But Middle-class America - Into Hip-hoppers, You Know?

"ice" Came In When My Friends Would Say "cold As Ice" -- If You Could Rap And Battle People You'd Say "dude, That Was Ice Cold." It Had Nothing To Do With Jewelry. Back Then, It Was Like "your Cold, Dawg." "vanilla Ice -- That's Cold."

I Just Kept It Real And Had The Freedom To Do What I Want. It's Not Designed For Any Age Group. It's Not Made For Radio. There Are No Edits. The Whole Album Contains Explicit Lyrics But That's Because You Need It.

It Wasn't Until '94 When I Tried To Commit Suicide That I Realized That It Wasn't About The Money.
