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.

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...

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.

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!
