I never was in the Nation of Islam... I mean, what I call myself is a natural Muslim, 'cause it's just me and God.

It never gets old. Working with somebody like Kevin Hart is rejuvenating in a lot of ways. He's such a pro. He's so good.

I love music. It's freedom, a way to deal with pent-up frustration.

I won't lay down my principles for any kind of recognition or any kind of position or trying to be more famous. It's just not in me. I'd rather be a man. And then to have all this crazy stuff on my conscience.

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 think I'm unique to the game 'cause of my versatility.

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.
