There's not one person in the world that's not a living, walking contradiction.

I talk about life, and I make universal music with an American style - and that's what I do.

I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers.

Love the skinny model chicks but I prefer the thickness.

I have no tattoos that I regret - I have had some that I have had changed according to how my life was.

To me, it's an honour to be accepted as a hip hop artist, it gives me a lot of opportunity to express myself.

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.
