Anybody who speeds thinks they can outsmart the cops.

You know, the radio never wanted you to speak about anything, so the music is kinda influenced by the hands of the radio which wants to homogenize it and dilute it and sanitize it. And for the most part, nobody's takin' the time to seek out the cats that are still tryin' to talk, so they have a difficult time being heard.

I'm just disillusioned with the hip-hop sound right now. It's too materialistic. You know, I'm the kind of guy ... I can't do that. If you track my movement, you'll never see a picture of me with any girl that wasn't mine, or my own car. My jewelry, my clothes. What kind of gangsta rapper has a stylist? A stylist?!

Rapping is a vocal delivery, so you can do it without being part of hip-hop and not knowing what hip-hop is about.

Half the rhymes you write, you're saying that you're better than the other MC. That's how we keep the craft sharp.

I'm afraid because some police are way out of control. My true feeling with police is this: If they do their job, there's no problem.

Being happily married, I’m more focused on what I’m doing. Ya know, one of my quotes is ‘love isn’t looking somebody in the eyes; it’s looking out in the same direction.
