I like crime movies where the crime is so incredible that, attractive as it seems, you don't wanna do it because it's just too dangerous.

I wouldn't write about sh*t I don't know. You won't hear me write about politics in Africa and stuff, because I don't know enough about it. And I would never rap about something I can't back up.

I've never been competitive with anybody but myself.

You can't get what you want all the time in life.

Well, I am very happy that I was able to play a part in bringing music from the streets onto the radio and into modern culture, I worked very hard and always believed in the sounds I was creating.

The trick with hip-hop-hip-hop is a sport. The only music that's really, really close to a sport. It starts off, "My DJ's better than yours. I can out-rap you, I can out-dance you, my graffiti piece is better than you." It's very competitive.

There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it.
