The emotions in a song - the anger, aggression - have got to be legitimate.

When I say or do something I do it, I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doing this for me.

It'd be stupid for me to sit here and say that there aren't kids who look up to me, but my responsibility is not to them. I'm not a baby sitter.

It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn't recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober.

Never was a gangsta, till I graduated to one.

If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.

Ain't nothin' but a whole lot of suckin' goin' on in rap.
