As for music and my place in it, maybe things are changing a little bit. I know this: a good song is deeper than a tattoo. It'll remind you of the car you're driving and the girl you're going around with and the streets you're cruising. It's better than a photo album. A song is a tattoo that you never lose. 'Ice, Ice Baby,' man, you'll remember that when you're 90.

Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.

I have been known to hang out and party back in the day. I had a weekend that lasted a few years.

If you look at the statistics, people spend most of their time in the kitchen. Aside from the backyard, it's one of my favorite places to renovate.

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.

I'm a Christian, but I don't believe in religion or anything like that.

To the extreme I rock a mike like a vandal.
