I respect Snoop even aside from the music, just as a man, and especially the way he still represents who he is, after being a pop star and an icon. He's done it successfully and has still been able to balance it.

I'm more focused on giving solutions and inspiration more than anything.

I was never ignorant, as far as being experienced in classrooms and learning about different subjects and actually soaking it up.

In all honesty, based on the direction my life was heading in before I got a real break in the music sh*t, I'm not gonna say I would be one hundred percent in a negative direction, but I know that I would still be in the streets, so if it wasn't for the music bein' my outlet, I'd probably be hustlin', I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to go and get a nine-to-five, I never finished high school or none of that.

Gangbanging is a survival instinct, regardless of how anybody tries to paint it.

My mom is American, so I was raised in her household in my formative years.

All the smart money got they bets on me / And all the real niggas wish the best for me
