“Don’t talk about death, I’ve got too much life to live, To many orders to give.”

The best thing I’ve done with my money is buy a house for my family. You wake up to a house you love and you feel like somebody.

You don’t wanna mess up what you’ve done. It’s like Jordan coming back: You’re scared to mess up the legacy.

I know my flavor’s going to work because I just know there’s not a lot of guys like me around. So you got to figure out what’s that about you.

There’s things people say in the barbershop they won’t even say in their own living room, because it’s just one of those zones where nobody’s going to judge you too much about your dumb opinion.

Should I peel a cap or should I let him survive?

You wanna be remembered for making an impact and changing things.And I guess for the good or for the bad, it don’t matter. But I guess you just wanna be remembered when it’s all said and done.

If you love what you do, and you believe in your talent, there’s nothing better than breaking through. There’s no better feeling than breaking through.

I’m always the “less is more” guy when it comes to a scene. So I’ma be the one who will keep it grounded. Even if I let it go off and go crazy, I’m still the voice of keeping things grounded in reality.

I been all around the world and I haven’t found a city that I’d rather be from or rather come back to than Los Angeles.

I don’t cook gumbo, but I just know it’s a lot of good ingredients in it. And, with a movie, you got to have all those ingredients.

Money is the root of all evil. Yeah, money is the root. It’s not racism and “this-ism” and “that-ism”; it’s our thirst and hunger for money. And that’s where all the bodies are buried.

I’ve been fighting my whole career to show a different side and prove naysayers – not prove them wrong, because I don’t think you should get your energy from negative people.

The moral is that a career can be gone in an instant. And all you have in this world are the people you love.

Most of the problems that we have are brought on by the government and not by music. Music is a mirror of what we’re going through, not the cause of what we’re going through.

Early in my career, people wanted to hear music about protest, about trying to change things.

I think everybody likes a person that stands up for themselves. Nobody likes a punk or a coward.

The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another’s heart.

For the whole life of a philosopher is, as the same philosopher says, a meditation on death.

We’re all going to die, but does that mean we have to be buried alive?

There is no class that cannot be wiped out if a sufficient number of its members are murdered.

Territory matters, and there is little difference between territorial rights and social status. It is often a matter of life and death.

We have been dying since we got here and forgot to enjoy the view – live fully.

Life is a disease: sexually transmitted, and invariably fatal.

To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die.
