Your look reflects what's happening in your mind. You gotta have some swag to you.
No one's promised anything. You could have the biggest record on radio and sell no records.
The things that I have said when I was young and curious about whatever the subject matter was, I respect those - those are growing pains. Even if you make mistakes, I go back to those things, my not-so-great moments because those are my truest moments; those are my human moments. I'm not even mad at the things I said that were a little dicey.
You can't please everybody. You'd be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.
And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes
I guess entertainment means blatantly lyin'
Hip-hop ain't died because of the South, that's retarded.
Dogs live longer than rappers.
I set it off with my own rhyme / cause I'm as ill as a convict who kills for phone time
People afraid of criticism but I always put myself in a sacrificial position,they been know I ain't just rappin for fame
There was a lot of negative that was put on rappers for using the word, and I feel like we're just misunderstood. Most of us are; some of us is just plain wack.
My earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. They were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
On the reals, all these crab niggaz know the deal, When we start the revolution, all they'll probably do is squeal.
