Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
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.
If there's not drama and negativity in my life all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
I need drama in my life to keep making music.
The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed.
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.'
Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.
I didn't have nothin' going for me… school home… until I found something I loved which was music and that changed everything.
Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home goes to an all-white school and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter – for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.
It feels good to have your work respected again.
You know fame is a funny thing man especially you know actors musicians rappers rock singers it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars you go to clubs everyone's doing a certain thing… It's tough.
Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small and tight. I'm kind of funny about making new friends.
I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
