I don't have no... I love Lil Wayne. I grew up on the Hot Boys.

Maybe you's a stank ho, maybe that's a bit mean Maybe you grew up and I'm still living like I'm sixteen.

Back when I was younger, Very ambitious, but often blinded by my hunger. Some say I dream too big, And my dream gon' take me under.

I study my competition for at least an hour a day. I get on the internet, look at what they doing, then I look at ways to defeat them.

Most of my show is just improvisation. It goes with the energy of the crowd.

You have to evolve and change but you're always gonna get that street edge out of my music regardless. That's who I am. That's in me and that ain't gon' never go away.

Everything I do is going to be gangsta rap, street based, street oriented... I'm from Gary, Indiana, and everybody's damn near at the poverty level.

I don't think you can be a good musician if you just listen to rap, or just the [type of music] you do. You gotta be open to other ideas.

I'm a real gangster rapper and I'm a rapper. I just think my music takes different directions. I don't think you can pigeon hole me in one genre. I'm probably the most versatile in the game, period.

I don't like people being something that they ain't, and we got a lot of that in rap right now.

I don't have to rap in a stadium. As long as I can provide for my family and my art, and live comfortably and live well, then I'm good. And with my talent level and my skill level, I'll get there.

You know, I love acting.

I worked with Rocky Graziano and Rocky was certainly a character.

To every New Yorker - and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for - I sincerely apologize.

You do not get what you want. You get what you negotiate.

I may be a twin, but I am one of a kind.

I am a ham. I've no business being rock 'n' roll. I've said it over and over again that I'm a classical composer, dishevelling my personality by dabbling in rock 'n' roll.

It is easier to stay out than get out.

People are thrown off by someone who looks feminine, but is also strong. It's not that pretty girls aren't smart, it's that women aren't strong.

One of the biggest reasons I like coaching college ball is the kids. I feel I can impact players lives

It may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: 'Sit down and shut up,' but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out.
