• Nina Blackburn : So, guys, what's the deal with the hats?

  Ice Cold : That's what NWH is all about. We got a whole hat philosophy, you know what I'm saying? I mean, see, back in the days when there was slaves and stuff, they would work in the hot sun all day, you know, with the sun beating down them. Hatless. I mean, not even a babushka.

  Tone Def : Word. Heads totally exposed to the sun.

  Ice Cold : You know, so by the time they got back to the plantation from being in all the heat, they was too tired to rebel against their masters, right? So what we saying with Niggaz With Hats is, "Yo, we got some hats now, muh-fuckers."

  Tasty Taste : And we ain't too tired to bust a cap in yo ass.

• Nina Blackburn : They say it's the quiet ones that you have to watch out for.

  Tasty Taste : And, if you've noticed, I ain't said shit for a couple minutes now.

• Nina Blackburn : Are all these weapons registered with the state?

  Tasty Taste : The state of siege, heh heh.

• Tasty Taste : This is a bazooka, see? And you just pick this up like this. It's-it's-it's-it's kind of heavy. But I figured if I couldn't pick it up, I need to have it.

  Nina Blackburn : Why would you need a bazooka?

  Tasty Taste : Well, sometimes you gotta take out stuff like a bus or a building, or a *bunch* of muhfuckas.

  Nina Blackburn : Do you worry that you have a lot of enemies, more than the average guy?

  Tasty Taste : So what you tryin' to say? You tryin' to say that I'm, like, paranoid 'n stuff? Do I look like the kind of person that would be paranoid? I mean, when you rollin' with THIS, would *you* be paranoid?

• Tasty Taste : I was a pharmaceutical distributor.

  Tasty Taste : Uh, yeah. This one here is for little motherfuckers, this one here is for a couple more motherfuckers, and this here is for BIG motherfuckers.

• Tone Def : I need one of y'all to stick that bedpan underneath my ass.

  Tasty Taste : It ain't THAT type of party.

• Tasty Taste : I got a bottle of syrup that looks like you.

• Tasty Taste : This is some Wile E. Coyote Acme shit. The reason I got this is because every time I watch them cartoons, this shit be blowin' motherfuckers up. So I figured I should use it.

• Tasty Taste : This is a Uzi, fully automatic.

  Nina Blackburn : I guess you have to really know what you're doing to use one of those.

  Tasty Taste : Nah, this is a good jimmy for beginners. I mean, this is better than those autofocus cameras. You just spray the area.

• Nina Blackburn : I've heard that your last five managers were killed, all by gunfire.

  Ice Cold : Exactly. I mean, you know, the best thing, if you think you're the kind of motherfucker that's predisposed to be smilin' and shit, you best to kick that shit doggie-style.

  Tasty Taste : Pow!

  Ice Cold : You know, then you can go in from behind, right? And you don't have to worry about her seein' you and shit.

  Tone Def : Right.

  Ice Cold : You can make all kind of faces.

  Tone Def : Make sure you ain't got no mirrors and nothin' around.

• Nina Blackburn : So is it true that N.W.H. is thinking about putting a love song on the new album?

  Ice Cold : Oh, yeah. Tasty got that, he's hookin' that up.

  Ice Cold : I think that just shows his whole vulnerability.

  Tone Def : The black man was the first sensitive man, long before Alan Alda.

• Tasty Taste : When they talk about gun control, they talkin' about taking away our guns so they can control us. It ain't that kind of party. So I'm goin' to be packin' and strappin' because T ain't nappin'!

• Tasty Taste : [sarcastically]  We about as soft as a cock in a hen house.

• Tasty Taste : What's wrong with you, Cheryl?

  Cheryl C. : Ain't nothin' wrong with me a man can't fix.

  Tasty Taste : Oh, so you're sayin' I ain't a man?

  Cheryl C. : I'm sayin', I needed what I needed when I needed it.

  Tasty Taste : So, what'd you buy her, lce?

  Ice Cold : Nothin', man! That bitch is a ho!

• Tasty Taste : That's it. That's it. Everybody's gonna die.

• Tasty Taste : [rapping]  It's not a game when the T attacks you, You so weak I could just bitch-slap you, I'm gonna kick your black ass, Granny says kick your black ass...

• Nina Blackburn : In the song lyrics, and I'm quoting: "He'll rip you off, He'll take your money, Make you work for free, Though you might scoff, It isn't funny, He's the devil, see."

  Nina Blackburn , Ice Cold , Tasty Taste : "Kill Whitey."

  Ice Cold : Right. Now how can you listen to that and think we're talkin' about killin' all white people?

  Tone Def : Fact. We was talkin' about one specific Whitey.

  Tasty Taste : Whitey DeLuca, our ex-manager. He ripped us off for 70 Gs.

  Ice Cold : Right, you know, and Whitey DeLuca wasn't even white. He was - he was Italian. You know, he was one of them olive-complected motherfuckers, you know.

• Tone Def : Drop the bomb on that nigga, man.

  Tasty Taste : Flying mission!

• Tasty Taste : Nigga think he bigga than the rest of the group.
