My father was a promoter of Fresh Fest, and they needed an opening act. He got me a slot as a dancer. We tried it out the first time in Atlanta and the crowd went crazy. I was the opening clown.

People know me, and want to know me, as a baller more than anything else.

Because I was in Atlanta, people didn't realize I'm one of the real forefathers in the game.

I go to clubs and if I notice the DJs are playing the records faster, then I'll push the beats a little on the next record I make. A lot of people don't know how to watch out for things like that.

So So Def has been one of the most successful and consistent labels in the game in the last 10 years.

I'd go dance at talent shows, and because I was young I had the upper hand on a lot of other crews. People thought it was cute. I used that to my advantage.

All the records I've made have pretty much been big club turntable records. You need to feel the rhythm.

In the Ferrari or Jaguar, switchin' four lanes Wit' the top down screaming out money ain't a thang

I'm one of those guys a lot of people watch, imitate, and then make it seem like they were the ones who did it first.

If you don't know by now, you're never going to know.

Ciara’s new single is a complete rip-off of Usher’s ‘U Got It Bad.’

All situations in which the interrelationships between extremes are involved are the most interesting and instructive.

Entrepreneurship is not a career choice, its a way of life!

Above all, you must fight conceit, envy, and every kind of ill-feeling in your heart.

Be curious. Be daring. Be different. Be yourself. And, if that doesn't work, be moi!

I protest against any absolute conclusion.

Look, America was a narrowly divided country in 2000;49-49 was what Michael Barone called it. It's a 49-49 nation.

Perhaps you've only grown up when you can bear not being understood.

It's great when you can just focus your whole attention on the music and hear all of the decisions and choices that were made.

I've always wanted to serve my country in some capacity. But many years ago, my father said he wanted me to run the brewery and he'd do politics.

I love adventure, so I'm excited to be working on something new and making the transition from reality show contestant to host.
