Prison make you a better judge of character. You pick up on people much faster.
There is a difference between me and most, which is that I am fresh off the block. I don't look for no special privileges. I'm a man who paid my does.
Of all the artists on Death Row, none of them went bankrupt.
I never seen no shootin'. I only know what I heard and what I read. I had no involvement.
If I stay in here until I am 100 years olds, I will still be a man.
As far as anybody in the rap game ever tryin' to assassinate my character, that's impossible. You talkin' about a man who has always walked the walk and talked the talk.
I like Biggie. Like 'Pac, he was one of the best rappers in the business. Why would I try to do something to him?
They been callin up here, asking when I am gonna get out. When I hit bricks, it all belongs to me.
If you always been my enemy, it's still that way.
I made up my mind that I wanted everything, and nothing would stop me.
My thing was to be the man who makes his little 30 or 40 million a year and still get a cheeseburger and fries and don't worry about an autograph.
Anytime you have somebody doing positive stuff and just doing their time and minding their own business, people will sit up there and lie.
I can only spend $140 a month in here. I'm saving, like, $10,000 a day.
I cook my own breakfast on my hot plate.
