A biography for Angie Martinezhasn’t been written yet.
“I had to tell the city that 2Pac passed, and I had to be on the radio early after Biggie passed. Those were awful, emotional.”
“The truth is that the music business is mean and honest and brutal.”
“My mother was a great influence in my life and my career. She not only helped me master the business side of radio, but she also taught me how to conduct myself.”
“The people I chose to work with me on this album are there because I have a personal relationship with them.”
“It's always interesting to talk to people's moms or sisters or wives. It gives you a different perspective of somebody that everybody already thinks they knew.”
“I had no idea what to expect when we did Ladies' Night. I didn't think it was going to get nominated for a Grammy. I didn't know that we would have to perform on the MTV Awards show.”
“I've always trusted my natural instinct because nobody ever taught me how to be on the radio or produce a show, and I never went to broadcasting school or anything like that.”
“I had a lot of respect for Biggie, and it was just a weird, kinda difficult thing. When I'm doing touchy interviews like that, I just try to be fair to both parties.”
“When I was 16, my mother moved me out of Brooklyn and sent me to Florida to stay with my family for a little bit because I was being bad, not going to school and stuff.”
“I have a soft spot for him because he's such a free spirit, and people just beat him up, and he's just trying to be him, so I do have a little soft spot for Kanye.”
“I try to be real positive because I know I'm being listened to, and I have a responsibility.”
“Whenever I think I'm going to get certain information out of a person, it's never as effective or comfortable as just having an open conversation, listening to them, being present, and being open to hearing something I didn't even know they were going to say.”
“I am going to do as much as I can do, because I hate to do anything and not give my all.”
“I want to speak Spanish fluently; that's on my bucket list.”
“I like to be a peacekeeper, and I just don't believe in stirring up conflict.”
“Sometimes you gotta say, 'Okay' - even if you're not sure you're ready.”
“I ran into Snoop one night. I was in the studio later, and I got this beat and thought he would sound great on it. I called him and he came right through that night.”
“I think I'm like the kid who loved hip hop, and all of a sudden - I don't know what it was - it started to put me in positions to do great things.”
“Tupac was real and honest about every question I asked.”
“Sometimes, when I'm doing an interview, my delivery or my take on a story may lean a little feminine, depending on the story, but it's never intentional.”
