I've never been a cop hater. You know, when I was breaking the law, the cops were the opponent. I just thought I could outsmart them.

It's like they want to shut rappers down. They want to silence us. The Supreme Court says it's OK for a white man to burn a cross in public. But nobody wants a black man to write a record about a cop killer.

Now everybody's bloggin'. I heard somebody say, "Blogging is just graffiti with punctuation." Everyone's an authority so there's nobody in power, 'cause everyone thinks they're in power.

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 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 don't watch daytime television, I have a job, I work and, you know, I think daytime television is really for women.

If you're really a rapper, you can't stop rapping.
