“A lot of things come with fame, whether it’s losing friends or losing family. You still gotta stand up and be that guy even when you ain’t having great things. Because you’ve gotta be the spokesperson for your people.”

To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there – and bigger.

I could sit right here and have a 15-minute conversation with somebody and change their whole life.

Honestly, I’m on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.

Everyday, all day I have to be productive. And when I ain’t productive, I get concerned.

As long as I’m not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I’m glad I’m not an MC. I’m a motivational speaker. I’m not that rapper dude.

I love the streets, and the streets love me back. And when things ain’t going the way they should go, they let you know… and when they happy, you gotta keep ’em happy.

I’ve pretty much done records with everybody.

Married to the game. If we’re dancing with the devil at least teach us how to dance when the son of making dollars.

There were a lot of songs that I still wanted to put on the album but it worked out. I can only fit 18 [tracks] on the album, I would put 30 if I could.

I ain’t never been the type of person out at the movies and holding hands and riding around listening to R. Kelly.

I’m a motivational speaker.

When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I’ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain’t gon’ make it no more.

This rap game is just WWF; everybody wants points off somebody else.

What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right.

Everything I’ve done has felt very natural, and it’s happened because it’s happened.

Success, fame, and fortune, they’re all illusions. All there is that is real is the friendship that two can share.

There’s a million people I could name who are more deserving of the parts that I get and the life that I’m living.

When you’re famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public.

Dreaming about being an actress is more exciting than being one.

Set fire to the mic and ignite the crowd.

I am not concerned that I am not known; I seek to be worthy to be known.
