I feel like a spoilt rapper. I get to pick and choose everything.
She [Benzino] is obsessed with me. I never would think I would see the day when I seen the worst rapper in the world going against one of the best.
I will hit a man with glasses.
You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.
I get offended when people say, `So, being a white rapper...and growing up white...after being born white...' It's all I ever hear!
My only scheme was to be a rapper.
Je ne peux plus continuer de rapper.. J'ai assassiné l'alphabet !
I grew up listening to 2 Live Crew and N.W.A. and I never went out and shot nobody.
I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... 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.
When 'Paul's Boutique' came out, I was one of the fans that didn't get it.
I always try to be smart. I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.
Being a student of hip-hop in general, you take technical aspects from places. You may take a rhyme pattern or flow from Big Daddy Kane or Kool G Rap.
I was going to McDonald's and Taco Bell every day. The kids behind the counter knew me - it wouldn't even faze them. Or I'd sit up at Denny's or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad. I got so heavy that people started to not recognize me.
I always say this about my music, and music in general: Music is like a time capsule. Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment.
