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

Rap music came along and saved my life. I started to tell the stories of the streets and that was my way out.

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.

Image
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 the core hip-hop, which would just be beats and breaks, more something like what you hear with DJ Premier. Then you get into the more highly produced hip-hop, which is something like what DJ Khaled does. But at some point, it starts to get kind of pop.

I think when people say 'real hip-hop,' they want it more buried in the streets. They want it more connected to the streets and the grime and the roughness of the streets. They don't want the fluff.

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 times people would offer me movies and, because I'm a car freak, I'd look in a magazine and say, 'How much is this car? If you give me this car I'll show up and do the movie' I call 'em 'sports car flicks'.

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

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

Image
Well, I am very happy that I was able to play a part in bringing music from the streets onto the radio and into modern culture, I worked very hard and always believed in the sounds I was creating.

Being happily married, I’m more focused on what I’m doing. Ya know, one of my quotes is ‘love isn’t looking somebody in the eyes it’s looking out in the same direction.

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?!

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

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

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

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.

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.
