I try to do the right thing with money. Save a dollar here and there, clip some coupons. Buy ten gold chains instead of 20. Four summer homes instead of eight.

I am a real person that cares about his art and cares about what he's doing - I have a heart and a soul and want to touch people and give.

I've never been the battle guy that people perceive me as. I don't even want to battle. I take it to the people, man. I say what I got to say. You know what I'm saying? I'm like the guy that has the gun and shoots you when you try to rob him, you know? I don't really pull out the inches and try to shoot the brothers.

I only do what comes from the heart

I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free.

I'm sexing raw dog without protection.

When I write I consider it a rhyme. In the studio I consider it laying down vocals. Onstage, I'm entertaining; I don't even think about it.
