“I love the new technology. New things give you a reason to want to go to the studio. New challenges mean you have to keep up, you know?”

The only two things that scare me are God and the IRS.

I’d rather deal with Tipper than Bush. He’s trying to kill everybody in jail.

When I’m lovin’ these hoes, there ain’t no love involved.

Name a sexual disease, she got it like Sam Goody.

It ain’t that I’m too big to listen to the rumors, It’s just that I’m too damn big to pay attention to ’em.

Try to be the king, but the ace is back.

The record business. It’s exactly what it is-Record-Busin ess. You have to take care of both, or they won’t take care of you.

I’ve gone seventy-nine hours without sleep, creating. When that flow is going, it’s almost like a high. You don’t want it to stop. You don’t want to go to sleep for fear of missing something.

I don’t have room in my life for folks that large and demanding.

I am never going to give music up.

I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.

People are always coming up to me, thinking I’ve got some magic wand that can make them a star and I want to tell them that no one can do that. Making hit records is not that easy. But it took me time to realize that myself.

I been in the game for 10 years making rap tunes… Ever since honeys was wearing Sassoons.

You’re a victim from my drive-by of thoughts.

Everything that I do is for sound goals. It comes from my gut. When I’m sitting in the studio, a mix isn’t done till I feel it in my gut.

When the ideas are coming, I don’t stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn’t come along all the time.

Change does not change tradition, it strengthens it. Change is a challenge and anopportunity, not a threat.

The challenge we’re facing in our country is about more than the actions of a few. It’s about how to transform a justice system that doesn’t work equally for all.

Overcome your fears, take life challenges, go for rides that you fear, learn new skills, show up whenever you see your fear is getting bigger than you.  

Being home with two babies has been challenging and fun, while trying to carve out an identity for myself beyond it.

Turn challenges into changes & ideas into action.

Don’t let the small challenge bring you down.

During our dark times, we may see the challenge in every opportunity. But we often forget that there is success hiding behind every challenge.

Fight hard the battle of life and take the challenges with courage, determination, and perseverance.
