“I can’t say any artist inspired me, because I’m inspired by the things that go on around me.”

I have trouble with letting go. That’s my problem.

I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. I’m just a cold-blooded investigator.

I’m not afraid to make mistakes.

I’m not afraid to make mistakes.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin’. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

Loyalty is hard to find, trust is easy to lose.

Say what you doin and not what you finna do.

Jail and the streets go hand in hand. You can’t have one with out the other. They coincide.

I have trust issues with allowing other individuals to know my innermost secrets for fear of how I may be viewed. Everyone has this.

Don’t get mad at me for being the best of what I was created to be.

I don’t pay attention to sales because it’s not about that for me. It’s about the music. Music is all I have.

I don’t let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.

I’m an introvert somewhat. There could be a room full of people, I’ll go stand in the corner.

A loyal chick comes with a smart mouth and crazy attitude.

When you come up in the slums, having nothin’ make you humble.

The ones that hate you most tend to be the people you know.

Why should I deem myself to be a chisel, when I could be the artist?

Artists die twice. First creatively. Then physically. The second one is the easiest.

My dream job growing up was always to be an artist. It wasn’t even that I would be a rapper or singer; I just knew I would be a public figure.

I grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was an artist and didn’t paint.

A good producer brings out the best in the artist he’s working with. You shouldn’t be able to listen to something and say, ‘So-and-so produced this album.

Compared to a lot of artists, I’m usually quite covered up in videos and photo shoots.

I think I’m a much better painter than an actor.

It feels like I’m starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.
