When we say a rapper, a rapper can say a rhyme. But an MC can rock a party.
A good emcee will rhyme a lot of different ways. Don't limit yourself.
Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.
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.
When you start a business, go for the lowest hanging fruit.
The more you try to suppress us, the larger we get.
Military is a great place for a jock. That's the first thing they test you, they test you physically. If you can run, if you can do the pushups, it's not as hard a transition. If you can't do that, you're going to have a problem because they're going to really work it out of you or work it into you.
I've never read for a movie, I've always been given them.
You could be a Green Beret and a kid could jump out from behind a building and hit you with a rock. No matter how tough you become in the military, there's a way to die: there's nothing safe about it.
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 know, the radio never wanted you to speak about anything, so the music is kinda influenced by the hands of the radio which wants to homogenize it and dilute it and sanitize it. And for the most part, nobody's takin' the time to seek out the cats that are still tryin' to talk, so they have a difficult time being heard.
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.
I'm a far cry from politically correct, because I don't really care what the political views are. I don't care what the people say. I'll say my opinion. That will always make you controversial.
Oh man, nobody is as tough as Mr T. Ice T is pretty tough though as well.
