“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.”

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?

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.

I make a mean cup of coffee, if you give me the right ingredients.

Keep doin’ what you’re doin’, fall in love with what you’re creating, and everything else will fall into place.

I wish the world would become what God wanted it to be in the first place, before we tampered with it.

Sometimes, when you want to laugh, reality steps in.

Violence has never prospered, you can’t remake the world in a day. Anyone who promises to change everything for you all at once is either a fool or a rogue!

Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don’t care about fame, I don’t care about being a celebrity. I know that’s part of the job, but I don’t feed into anyone’s idea of who I should be.

In 2022 don’t wait for the world to change but change the way you perceive the world.

You are allowed to change your mind.

It was stumbling on to really the bible of the blues, you know, and a very powerful drug to be introduced to us and I absorbed it totally, and it changed my complete outlook on music.

Changing is for weirdos.

Something big is going on. I’m talking about a society that refuses to allow injustice just to persist without making our voices heard and without organizing to bring about effective change through our voting system.

I envision the future sunny and with love, harmony and oneness. I think Hollywood is changing.
