I don't get nothing but love. In every ghetto all over the world. Nothing but love. They respect that I came outta there and I'm doing it the right way. You can't do nothing but respect that.

I really appreciate family. I really can't imagine life without them!

If you born in the mud, you gonna be dirty, and people don't understand that.

Early in my career, people wanted to hear music about protest, about trying to change things.

You like a woman, she's got kids, it's a package. You can't just go in one-sided.

I have a really beautiful life right now, so there is no reason to be hostile. I'm a husband, a father and a man who tries to do the right thing in life and in my work.

I make a mean cup of coffee, if you give me the right ingredients.
