People being bummed out or not having anything to do, so what do they do, they ride a skateboard or they make art or they write a letter to god even though…you know god won’t read the letter. So there’s just nothing, there’s nothing much you can do in life except for do art and skate.

"Comin up short of the green guys
 And I might start slangin bean pies
 Or the bootleg t-shirt of the month
 With "U Can't Touch This" on the front
 I'm bout to get rich
 Cause life ain't nuttin but money and fuck a bitch"

Ice Cube “Steady Mobbin”

You always gotta have your side hustle, whether the economy is good or bad. And embrace that creative, d.i.y. side of things, we don’t have to rely on anyone else cuz we can do it for ourselves.

We’re rolling out a new weekly feature, the Monday Maxim. We’re going to tell you how to run your life by culling maxims from the annals of hip hop quotables.

maxim |ˈmaksim|noun, a short, pithy statement expressing a general truth or rule of conduct: the maxim that actions speak louder than words.

Ice Cube:

“And don’t give me that shit about role model
It ain’t wise to chastise and preach
Just open the eyes of each
Cause laws are made to be broken up”
