I'm like a monkey. You don't let go of one branch until you get a hold of the other.

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

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.

When the President (of the United States) mentions your name in anger, you know the sh*t has hit the fan!

I never know if the person I'm shaking hands with is coming to kill me. That's something you have to live with when you cross the lines.

I hate to get on the racial thing because that's something I've always been totally against. But the problem with the media is that they think that the word rock means white and the word rap means black.

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