“I mean, I’m a fan of Eminem. I’m a fan first and foremost. Maybe before I wouldn’t have challenged him, but I’m contemplating it now.”

I usually have an idea that I want to build on and let the music take me where I wanna go.

Living fast where it’s all about the money bags? Never front.

Everywhere I go, I can’t wear everything a designer creates. I’m a little more gritty.

It’s a new year, new year, new money, money!

Every boss started as a worker.

I may not be a role model, but I most definitely could be motivation for a lot of people in the hoods.

I won’t sing to you like Chris and Ne-Yo, but I’m fresher than a stick of deo.

I like to write music for fun. That’s my hustle, my grind, my means of stayin’ alive, and it’s also my recreation, too.

I didn’t understand that you could go to jail for the rest of your life for selling cocaine. I thought life sentences were for murderers. I didn’t know that you could get it for supplying something to someone that they asked you for.

You know how in football, guys throw defenses, and the defense throws you a look, but the look is not really what it is – it’s only made to fool you. It’s the same thing with drugs. The drug is only an illusion to draw you in.

All I ever wanted was to make scrilla Have a recording session with J Dilla.

You gotta judge a man by his principles.

He knockin’ on the door, let the devil in.

These haters can’t hold me back.

At one time, due to the reluctance of cult groups to allow members to dialogue with their families and professionals about their involvement (or even to allow families access to a loved one) -“involuntary deprogramming” became the choice of some families as a last resort.

Being dead broke is the Root of all Evil.

The challenges I have faced – among them material poverty, chronic illness, and being raised by a single mother – are not uncommon, but neither have they kept me from uncommon achievements.

Although I grew up in very modest and challenging circumstances, I consider my life to be immeasurably rich.

When I told you that I hadn’t been broken before; it wasn’t a fucking challenge.

My resolve is to work for the development of the state and the welfare of the people, so I will tackle all challenges. That’s my vision.

Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.

I think sometimes in life the biggest challenges end up being the best things that happen in your life.

I don’t wear a lot of color. In fact, I don’t actually like color on myself. I love color but it’s very challenging, it’s very powerful, it can overpower you. I think if my eyes were closed and someone put a red jacket on me, I would be able to feel that it was red. I don’t feel great in color.

When you try to live your most authentic life, some of your relationships will be put in jeopardy. Losing them is a risk worth bearing; finding a way to keep them in your life is a challenge worth taking on.
