I'd say people are victims of circumstances and they're limited to the opportunities that they see. Even though there might be more opportunities, you might not see them. You might just think, I don't have any options. You usually go to the dark side, in that situation.

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.

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

I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin'. If I say it, I gotta be able to back it up.

Redemption means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong. So I think a lot of people get hooked on drugs and when they get over that addiction they go out and they try to talk to kids and they try to work in rehab centers.

Ultimately I am happy that everybody is embracing hip hop and the sounds from the streets.

I'm very much against the anonymity of bloggers and social media. I just hate it and I think it's really cowardly.

It's like a paradox. For one side, being popularized rap got better and the other side of it got worse. It's very pop and it's very different now. When you make it as pop and as soft as it is, it lacks its integrity. It lacks its accountability. It lacks a lot of other things that came from that dangerous time in hip hop.

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.

I didn't really realize how big I was 'til I started to tour, because being in your own neighborhood, people don't actually give you full props.

...As an artist, you need the naysayers and the nonbelievers to add fuel to your creative fire.

With the invention of the blog and all this Internet stuff, everybody has an opinion everybody has a voice. In fact, there was a time when the average person didn't have a voice so you had to pick an artist to speak for you.

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.

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.

As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you to take the role and make it real.

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

I'm competitive in that I would like to outsell my last record.

When I recorded my first album, my ego didn't let me believe that what I was gonna say on the mic, anyone would really care about. But then when I found out that they did, I started to take it more seriously.
