When you hit the wall, it's how fast you come back.

It really really sunk into me when I went to Europe and they take rap so much more serious than we do here. That was the first time I ever heard rap considered folk music. And sometimes somebody will make you understand like, Hey, what you doin' is serious, don't play it lightly 'cause it's changin' my life.

A lot of people play single to work some angle. I'm always about keeping it real. If that's how I'm living, that's how I'm living.

You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.

I think that a rap aficionado, the hardcore rap fan, will always go away from pop, in the same way a hardcore jazz fan will never think Kenny G is really a jazz artist. You gotta kind of know there's always going to be that purist who's going to be like if it ain't beats and rhymes, if there ain't a DJ, then that ain't Hip Hop.

I always knew that I had to direct. That was something I'd wanted to do. Finally, I was just looking at the situation and I said, I wanna document hip-hop, as an art form, seeing how a lot of people don't take it seriously.

I'm pretty open book, I'm also the kind of person that will say, 'That's none of your business,' too.

I'm a big fan of all styles, even Biggie and Wu-Tang, but I gotta do my thing.

I think everybody wants to redeem themselves after they've done something that might be considered negative. I don't think anyone wants to go to the grave negative.

With acting, you have to take it seriously because the other actors are putting in a lot of effort - and if you say, 'I'm just bullshitting here', it's like dissing 'em.

One of the things about powerful people is they have the ability to make it look easy.

I think what's happenin' is that, with the overflow of music, it's been diluted. There was a time when people would go search out underground records. Now, underground means free, and people don't really care for it. So now artists tend to go more pop and look for the radio.

If you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut.

I think all music - not just rap - has fallen into this very diluted, delusional state, where everyone's singing about money and having cars, and having all this fun when really, people are losing their homes.

I've always been a person that, if I'm with a woman, she's in the picture. Even my son's mom, she was on my early (album) covers.
