I think, as an artist I done conquered every way that you can go, as far as with creativeness, and directions and love, and you pissed off or, your happy.

For me, I feel like if a woman doesn't find me attractive 'cause I'm taking care of myself, then that's not the woman I want.

I'm very critiqueful of my own stuff, and I kick everybody out the studio when I'm singing, no one is in the studio, it's just me and the engineers, no one else in the studio when I'm doing my thing.

Once your motivation is killed, it's kind of hard to revive it and bring it back to life.

If you're talking triple threat of a writer, singer and actress, that would probably be Beyoncé. If Aaliyah were still here, she and Beyoncé would be neck and neck.

If it sounds good to me and I hate my voice, so if I'm willing to listen to my voice over and over again, it's a hit. Guaranteed it'll be a hit.

I think the legacy I'll leave on music is just an artist that went out here and gave 100%.

I want a woman that wants me to take care of myself because truly, that tells a lot about you. And if you don't take care of yourself how can you take care of a woman? How can you take care of kids?

Is there any more Room for me in those Jeans.

I always loved music and I always loved to perform, and that's my favorite part, to perform; my favorite part is not the studio, I can't stand the studio.

That's what I try to do, my wife and I, we try to, not shelter them [kids], but still not contribute to the delinquency of a minor.

Trust unites, fear divides, mercy heals, and love conquers.

Rap is supposed to motivate, humours, address societal issues & personal feelings, and also liberate me through art, not insult our women.

A body is a body, but only voices are capable of love

An observer can’t tell if a person is silent and still because inner life has stalled or because inner life is transfixingly busy.

Music inflames temperament.

I feel like the torch has been passed to me. The question is what am I going to do with it.

You will never be saved against your will; God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.

Where's the need of singing now?

Of course things you don't know about are always nicer'n things you do, same as the pertater on 'tother side of the plate is always the biggest.

A man does not exist until he is drunk.
