I like underground rappers - Cory Gunz is a young kid that's been really doing his thing. I'm a Gym Class Heroes type of fan even though they're not new, but they're definitely trendsetters.
I was rapping at eight.
Even where the game is today, cats don't really focus on necessarily what it is that you're saying so when people say, "Oh, you can't rap," I play into the joke. That's why I'll challenge anybody; anybody rapping, let's go just because I know what the art form is and even when you see these battle rappers in here, they're so skillful. It's actually a skill.
Clearly, everybody knows I can rap; I can freestyle all day.
Bow Wow is amazing in this film, ... I always like to say, 'If you can't picture someone else in the film, then that person did a phenomenal job,' and I can't really picture anybody else in the role of Xavier. He stripped himself totally of the Bow Wow character and became Xavier.
Yo! I think this guy has a good eye and will be able to tell his story in a proper way.
I think I must have attention deficit disorder,
I was attracted from day one. How could you not be attracted to someone who has a great spirit on the inside and beautiful on the outside?
She said she was in the clinic and heard a voice, ... I said, 'Yo, that was me.'
to start creating my own projects. People want to work with me but there aren't that many scripts being written for me.
We would always talk about that and say All That was the new Saturday Night Live.
That's supposed to be next year, ... That's something that I actually wrote and produced, too.
It was like playing cops and robbers all day long. This is a testosterone dream to drive fast cars, shoot guns and blow stuff up. It was definitely amazing.
I've got such a great cast that it usually works out wonderfully.
