    Potent Quotables: Ice-T's Street-Cred Credo

    Ice-T
    "I used to wear rollers to school ... and house shoes. That's how gangsta I was."
    --Ice-T

    While most might consider this sort of attire more "crazy mom" than "cool," the rapper sheds some light on the paradox. "It's like the biker who might put a ribbon in his hair," he says. "Like: 'What?'" Exactly.

    Its called an attention seeking idiot! What MAN wears rollers and think that's gangsta but an ignorant pimp? This is the lifestyle he glorifies. Ice T is an idiot with his no acting self. He portrays the same character in every movie....HIM!

    My mom use to take me to school wearing rollers, house shoes and a house coat. I was embarrassed but apparently she was gangsta and I did not even know it. LOL.

    I think he was trying point out that he wasn't truly gangsta at all.

    Some of you would probably say the same about Vanilla Ice...
