Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.

It's foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.

If you really believe in yourself and your music that much, you're gonna do your thing, regardless what people say.

I didn't really do many business ventures throughout my career because I would have an idea and then before I'd have a chance to make something of it, I'd see someone else do it. I just liked to watch my fellow artists become entrepreneurs and be people who can inspire the next generation. I did that more with my songs.

All I need is one mic . All I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man.

Hip-hop ain't died because of the South, that's retarded. When I named the album originally, I thought I bit off more than I could chew but you'd be an idiot to think I'm talking about how the South killed hip-hop or how New York isn't where it should be or where it once was. It was like, "Damn, I need to explain this?" But I thought, "Nah, the proof is right there. We should know what it is." I expect the hip-hop audience to be avant garde. I want them to be where I'm at or beyond where I'm at.

Love the skinny model chicks but I prefer the thickness.
