I've never met anybody in this world like me.

More than half of all the hip hop record sales are white people, and I think that might be a result of my record helping people to accept hip hop.

A lot of people think I was an overnight success, but I was an opening act for three or four years, and then I signed my contract with EMI. Then it kind of blew up overnight.

I just kind of shoot the finger to the critics. I don't give sh - what a critic says. To me a critic is some loser who has no idea... someone with an opinion. We all have opinions.

I was born in Dallas, Texas, but I was raised in south Florida. Ice Ice Baby is about that area.

I've been playing concerts for many years, and it's still as exciting as it was the first time. I hope that shows when I'm performing.

Another car is not going to help me out, a nicer car, I've already got it. A bigger house ain't gonna do anything for me, and you know, a yacht, it's not going to do anything for me anymore. So how can I find happiness?
