I don't watch daytime television, I have a job, I work and, you know, I think daytime television is really for women.

Rap is rock 'n' roll. Rock is when you push the buttons in the system when you say, I'm not going along with what you're saying. That's rock, whether it's done with guitars, or it's done with just beats.

I just don't believe that there's any way that you're ever gonna get one peace, because everybody has different ways of seeing life.

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.

Hip-hop is a competition culture. It's based around, My DJ is better than you. My graffiti artist is better than you.

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.

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.

When you start to really travel and you get to these abstract like places in the world, you would see certain people's names. It seemed like we could go anywhere. Like when we went to Afghanistan, you'd see in the dressing room Run DMC's name. Certain rappers are like journey men.

The best way to listen to the album is to put it on, get some Moet, lay back with your boys, and kick it.

I have to take what I say and make it heavy, so every single bar means something. And there's no riddles in my rhymes. Every single word means something.

Redemption just means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong.

You know, I say in my lyrics, Every word I write will be analyzed by somebody white. It's just that I know that this sh*t is just not gonna fall on deaf ears.

When I got a chance to rap, I just busted my ass. When I got a chance to act, I busted my ass. Anytime I get a chance. I'm not wasting time. I won't do it if I'm not doing it 110 percent. You've got to work hard if you want to play hard. I like to play, but I know I gotta bust my ass.

You know, the radio never wanted you to speak about anything, so the music is kinda influenced by the hands of the radio which wants to homogenize it and dilute it and sanitize it. And for the most part, nobody's takin' the time to seek out the cats that are still tryin' to talk, so they have a difficult time being heard.

I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks, put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about.

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