Hip-Hop started out in the heart

I don't feel like my money or my success defines me. I've always been very happy just bein' me.

I wouldn't try to put myself in a box or put God in a box.

Once you compromise yourself in one way, you compromise yourself in another way. And you've just opened the door to compromise, mediocrity, settling.

When I was working, and when I was making substantial amounts of money, I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.

I play my enemies like a game of chess

If I'd known white people were going to buy my last album, I never would have recorded it.
