Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.

I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

I don't think I've ever read poetry, ever.

A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.
