A plaque and platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest.

Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when you got your back turned.

People at rehab were stealing my hats and pens and notebooks and asking for autographs. I couldn't concentrate on my problem.

Of all the albums I've made, I still don't feel like I've made the perfect album. I've had ones that touch on this, and others that touch on that, but never one that's just perfect and fully relevant. I don't know if I'll ever make it, but I'm certainly trying every day.

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

He made you feel like you knew him. I think that honestly, 2pac was the greatest songwriter that ever lived. He made it seem so easy. The emotion was there, and feeling, and everything he was trying to describe. You saw a picture that he was trying to paint.

I feel like a spoilt rapper. I get to pick and choose everything.
