Awards Quote by Ice Cube
“I never go to the Grammys. I just never go. I don't know if I care enough, and I went because my son wanted to go, and they asked us to present Best Hip Hop Group of the Year. You know, we had two records from Compton in there, and it was just like a cool thing to do, and to do with your son, and it was just cool. But we was the first award up, so after I did my thing I just jumped in the car and came on back home.”

![“"[My Beautiful] Dark [Twisted] Fantasy" and "Watch the Throne": neither was nominated for Album of the Year, and I made both of those in one year. I don't know if this is statistically right, but I'm assuming I have the most Grammys of anyone my age, but I haven't won one against a white person…” quote by Kanye West](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/cb3/kanye-west-242_accurate_my-beautiful-dark-twisted-fantasy-and-wa_2815530.jpg)
![“You have to resist falling in love with the money they [producers] want to give you.
