Real men hold themselves accountable for stuff.

Rap music came along and saved my life. I started to tell the stories of the streets and that was my way out.

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.

A lot of times people would offer me movies and, because I'm a car freak, I'd look in a magazine and say, 'How much is this car? If you give me this car I'll show up and do the movie' I call 'em 'sports car flicks'.

If somebody wants to kill people, they don't need a gun to do it.

Dealing with the old school rappers, you see a lot of humility. When you're new, nothing is wrong. Everything is tight. Because you're trying to hype the world into believing in you.

I think when people say 'real hip-hop,' they want it more buried in the streets. They want it more connected to the streets and the grime and the roughness of the streets. They don't want the fluff.
