I think what's happenin' is that, with the overflow of music, it's been diluted. There was a time when people would go search out underground records. Now, underground means free, and people don't really care for it. So now artists tend to go more pop and look for the radio.

I've never read for a movie, I've always been given them.

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.

I didn't really realize how big I was 'til I started to tour, because being in your own neighborhood, people don't actually give you full props.

When I was younger I never drank. I never drank, I never did any weed or drugs or anything because I felt it would compromise my position. I was an orphan, and I had a feeling like if I ever hit the ground I may never get back up.

When I got a chance to rap, I just busted my ass. When I got a chance to act, I busted my ass. Anytime I get a chance. I'm not wasting time. I won't do it if I'm not doing it 110 percent. You've got to work hard if you want to play hard. I like to play, but I know I gotta bust my ass.

Being cool is when you win, you don't get too happy; and when you lose, you don't get too mad.
