I think the worst thing you can do about a situation is nothing.

Don't want to hear my favorite rapper doin' a love song. If I want to hear something soft, I'll throw on Luther Vandross.

When I was in N.W.A. and didn't get paid all the money I was owed, that's when the business side of showbiz hit me. I thought, "Half of this is workin'. I'm famous, but now I need to be famous with some money." That got my brain started at trying to figure out the business end. And once I figured out the business side, I next came to understand that success really comes down to the product, not to me, my personality, or what club I'm seen going into or coming out of. None of that matters.

I do what I do. You like it, great. You don't, go listen to somebody else. I'm stickin' with the people who stuck with me.

No matter what part of the country you come from, you can always come together to make groundbreaking hip-hop.

Anybody that really knew Tupac will tell you the same thing. That he was just a dude that was full of life, full of energy.

I remember wishing there was snow in L.A. And how jealous we used to get of those Christmas specials with kids playing in the snow.
