People aren't hearing all the music.

I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.

People are always coming up to me, thinking I've got some magic wand that can make them a star and I want to tell them that no one can do that. Making hit records is not that easy. But it took me time to realize that myself.

Snoop Doggy Dogg paged, that must mean more hoes.

Engineering and mixing are absolutely key. Once a song is done, for me personally, it's usually two or three days to get the mix down.

If you work at rap and look at it as an art, the money will come. But if you try to get the money, it'll just always be shallow.

I ain't a thug - how much Tupac in you you got?
