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 never been a cop hater. You know, when I was breaking the law, the cops were the opponent. I just thought I could outsmart them.

If I do a song where I'm angry, when it's time to perform it live I'm not mad, I'm happy. I'm at a concert. But I have to somehow drum up that rage. That's acting.

I'm like a monkey. You don't let go of one branch until you get a hold of the other.

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

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

If one person comes in and says, this is the way life should be, I think you're asking for chaos. I think you gotta let different people live different ways. It's a big world.

The trick with hip-hop-hip-hop is a sport. The only music that's really, really close to a sport. It starts off, My DJ's better than yours. I can out-rap you, I can out-dance you, my graffiti piece is better than you. It's very competitive.

I've been pulled out of my nice new car and laid out in the street by the police, interrogated and then have them get in the car and roll off leaving me lying in the street without even saying 'Get up.' The humiliation that they can put on a black man because they determine that you ain't got the money.

in the mornin' po-lice at my door Fresh adidas squeak across the bathroom floor Out the back window.. I make a escape Don't even get a chance to grab my old school tape

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.

Any New York group can come to L.A. and sell out every show, but an L.A. group who goes to New York might not do the same because the audience hasn't been introduced to the group.

I'm just disillusioned with the hip-hop sound right now. It's too materialistic. You know, I'm the kind of guy ... I can't do that. If you track my movement, you'll never see a picture of me with any girl that wasn't mine, or my own car. My jewelry, my clothes. What kind of gangsta rapper has a stylist? A stylist?!

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.

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

I was a pretty bad person early in my life.

You know, you'd hide behind a Public Enemy or Ice Cube, or Bruce Springsteen, or U2, because they spoke for you. But now everybody's bloggin'. I heard somebody say, Blogging is just graffiti with punctuation. Everyone's an authority so there's nobody in power, 'cause everyone thinks they're in power.
