If you want the old me, go buy my old albums.

I'm trying to tell the story in the most clear, concise, and truthful way, taking those everyday words and phrases and capturing them in a way that they become something else.

Got some, dirt on my shoulder, could you brush it off for me?

I'm a hustler, baby; I sell water to a well!

I really just like breaking down the barriers, whether it means doing an album with Linkin Park, an album with R. Kelly, or playing at the Brandenburg Gate with Bono.

I think Lil Wayne is extremely talented. I think he's one of the most talented ones out there.

I keep my enemies close/ I give 'em enough rope/ They put themselves in the air/ I just kick away the chair.
