Taylor is known for his appearance in the film Breakin' alongside Ice-T. Taylor is credited on "Phone Tap" (The Firm) as producer. Other production credits include "Reckless" (Ice T & Dave Storrs), "Tibetan Jam" (Chris "the Glove" Taylor), "Go Off" (Ice T & Dave Storrs), and "Itchiban Scratch" (Chris "the Glove" Taylor).

Suge used to tell me all of the time that I was going to be the next Dr. Dre. But how can I be the next Dr. Dre when you're leaving my name off of everything?
