Truthfully, a weak rapper can hide behind a lot of production.

Rapping is a vocal delivery, so you can do it without being part of hip-hop and not knowing what hip-hop is about.

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

Passion makes the world go round. Love just makes it a safer place.

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.

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

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.

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.

I've got a phone, answer machine, TV set, computer, hand grenade - everything you need to run a business in Los Angeles.

I was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in Summit, an upscale town in north Jersey. There was this tiny area of Summit where most of the black families lived. My parents and I lived in a duplex house on Williams Street.

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.

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.

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

There is no such thing as a normal family so don't trip off it, just deal with it.

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.
