I never wanted to be a statistic. I never wanted to be that cat who tried and never made it.

I represent the Democratic party... I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter. I support Barack Obama.

I ain't never been the type of person out at the movies and holding hands and riding around listening to R. Kelly.

I think everybody knows my sound because I'm me, you know? But, on your fourth album, I think you've definitely gotta show growth because I definitely don't plan on being one of those cats that fade off. It's always about growing with me; I grew up over the years.

Married to the game. If we're dancing with the devil at least teach us how to dance when the son of making dollars.

People who work every day are kind of scared of things they don't understand.

Sometimes when people get success they forget about the people that pointed them there or championed them into this position. I pride myself on really understanding. I wouldn't even call it keeping it real. I just call it keeping it me. When they tell me, "You're doing what you're supposed to do," it makes me go ten times even harder, because I know that there are people on the sidelines and they're watching me. They're cheering for me. I want to be the best me I could possibly be when it comes to them.
