People don't understand that you can actually lose your life going to jail. There's more violence in the jail-house than there is on the streets.

When I'm not longer rapping, I want to open up an ice cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

If u hot and make hot ish, Imma make sure and get down with ya! Break bread or fake dead - everyone else move out tha way!

So what if I'm smokin' weed onstage and doing what I gotta do? It's not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. It'sa peaceful gesture and they have to respect that and appreciate that.

There'll be ups and downs, smiles and frowns.

I'm a musician - I'm always making music. Kobe Bryant is always playing ball. Well, Snoop Dogg is always recording.
