- A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'
- A lot of truth is said in jest.
- Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.
- Anything I've ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time.
- Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert's Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.
- Honestly, I'd love to be remembered as one of the best to ever pick up a mic, but if I'm doing my part to lessen some racial tension I feel good about what I'm doing.
- I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.
- I don't hate women - they just sometimes make me mad.
- I don't think I've ever read poetry, ever.
- I love the attention but I don't like too much of it.
- I need drama in my life to keep making music.
- I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
- I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
- I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.
- I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.
- If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.
- If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
- It feels good to have your work respected again.
- I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.
- Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
- My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.
- People can try to reinvent themselves. I don't think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you've done up to now.
- Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.
- Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.
- The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family.
- The kids are old enough now - I just want to let them be kids. I don't want to comment on them too much. They're at an age where I just want to let them be kids.
- The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.
- Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small and tight. I'm kind of funny about making new friends.
- Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.
- Well, I'm working all the time to stay out of trouble!
