Anybody who has anybody in the armed forces, I don't care how well-trained they are, there's nothing safe about it.

I'm at a point where I don't have to wait for the income from the record to survive, so I'm in a comfortable zone, but I'll make rap records as long as I feel I have something to rap about.

When I make records I have full control of everything and I know how it sounds before it comes out, with films it's outta my hands.

I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin'. If I say it, I gotta be able to back it up.

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?!

I'm a far cry from politically correct, because I don't really care what the political views are. I don't care what the people say. I'll say my opinion. That will always make you controversial.

So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.
