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 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 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 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 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 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. 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
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, 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 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.
