AXCESSerpt : Ice-T interview
|
|
|
|
Q: So you've got a book coming out.
|
|
|
|
I-T: Got a book coming out. Book is called _The Ice Opinion, Who Gives
|
|
a Fuck?_ and it's done. It's a compilation of all my interviews but it's
|
|
done like one big long meeting -- speaking on topics : education, you
|
|
know, race. religion, sex, ghetto mentality...and it's like at the end
|
|
of each chapter it says "Well, that's my opinion on education, who gives
|
|
a fuck?" Because it's not supposed to be taken as so important, it's
|
|
just, "Yo, this is how I feel about it"
|
|
|
|
....it's like one stop shopping for Ice-T, you know what I'm saying. So
|
|
you could be sitting up and having a real hot argument about something
|
|
and say "let's see what the fuck Ice says." Then you read it and you
|
|
say, "Ice is a fucking asshole." Then take it from there. And somebody
|
|
says, "fuck you, man, he had a point there".

Write a RFD for alt.cyberpunk.slag, a special place in

SUBMISSION POLICY
|
|
|
|
Fuck you. Start your own damn e-zine. I've made it to issue eight
|
|
without your sorry ass, what makes ya think I need you now? Writers
|
|
guidelines? You want writer's guidelines? Go submit to one of those
|
|
e-zines that are constantly whining for submissions to cover up for
|
|
the lack of talent, iniative, and material of their own. I don't have
|
|
time to deal with you posers, and would rather go months before I
|
|
publish something I'm not going to be totally embarassed about later.
|
|
Here's my advice, straight from Mike Monteiro, a.k.a. Nervous Dog,
|
|
a.k.a. X-Girlfriend Graphix :
|
|
|
|
"Giving up is fine" -- Mike Monteiro.
|
|
|
|
You can thank me later.

Oops! Outta time boyz and grrrllls. What with the headers and legal
|
|
warnings and indices and subscription information and disclaimer after
|
|
disclaimer after disclaimer, there is just no more room for content in
|
|
the e-zine world.
|
|
|
|
Not that anyone has the attention span to read this far.......
|
|
|
|
Maybe more next week.
