It ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none.

In the black culture, certain kids are given nicknames that they roll with forever; the nicknames outweigh their real names. I’m one of those scenarios.

You got to be who you are when you are.

My younger son, Cordell, aka Lil Snoop, loves me like a fan loves Snoop Dogg. He’s inspired by making me happy. My older son, Corde, aka Spank, does everything I say, with effort and determination – but he does it for himself. He gets his thrill out of seeing his own results on the football field.

A State without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.

Fighting is a sport; if you’re not humble it’s going to bring humbleness to you.
