I want to be able to take care of my family.

Let's be honest. We don't take rap serious the way other cultures take rock-n-roll, they take country. They artists are being loved.

You know, I started doing movies. I mean, my mind was brought into saying, you know what? I want to build a generation of wealth.

I think you've got good people and bad people in everything you do. If you start making a big deal of it, then it's a problem. It's like in life. We've got bad doctors and lawyers. We've got bad priests! We don't target every priest and say he's bad. You have to go to church and you have to go see some doctors. Some people have to be good.

If I can go through what I've been through and do a television show with my son and then be a boy from the hood making records for the people I make records for, that's reality.

I think now the music is good. I tell people all the time who like to be in the music business you got to have a hit record.

I feel like it's okay for us to grow up because a lot of us want to get rich and die young.
