Wherever I go, I bring the culture with me, so that they can understand that it's attainable. I didn't do it any other way than through hip-hop.

If I was to stop making music tomorrow doesn't mean suddenly there is this gap. You don't get elected. The people decide where you are. Whether I'm here or not, if they want you to be at the top then the people will move me out the way.

I'd rather die enormous than live dormant.

Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama's running so we all can fly.

The day Obama got elected, the gangsta became less relevant.

Ain't nothin' wrong with the aim, just gotta change the target.

Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.
