I always felt like if you get to a point where you've got enough money to invest in something real, you gotta invest in anything that's related to a natural resource because that's gonna be here forever - so you might as well invest in something that's gonna be here, rather than invest in something that's gonna wear out.

Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that's what separates the legends from the regular artists. It's all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes.

I don't want to know I'm getting older. Then I'll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don't want that.

When I first heard hip-hop I thought it was rubbish because I didn't understand the concept of people talking over music.

I'm a polygamist. I can afford to have as many wives as I can afford to have. All Africans believe in it. My dad has four wives.

It's always the music first for me. But if the music isn't selling, there isn't gonna be no business. So you gotta make sure music is always the first priority.

I love to just go to the movies, watch movies, listen to the scores and all that 'cause that's, like, the next step for me.
