“I move with the time. Whatever’s happening in time, I’m in.”

Well, hip-hop is what makes the world go around.

It’s Christmas time and my rhyme’s steady bumpin. Everybody happy, hair still nappy, Gonna steal a gift for my old grandpappy.

If the ride is more fly, then you must buy.

The most important decision I’ve made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said, ‘Come on everybody, we made it.’ Then I had to realize we didn’t make it. I made it.

The best advice I’ve ever got is to be yourself. Stay true to who you are and what you stand for and you’ll go far in life.

I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated.

Your only gain is to try to get me to fall down to your level. Man, you worser than devils.

It’s so easy for a kid to join a gang, to do drugs. We should make it that easy to be involved in football and academics.

Be your own leader, be your own self, step out of my shadows and be your own person.

What I try to push and promote is peace through the whole music industry.

Know when to lie to your kids.

I just change with the times. I really don’t have a say in what’s going on. Music was here before me.

When I’m not longer rapping, I want to open up an ice cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.

Do what your heart tells you is right.

I’ve always been a student, so I want to learn.

Cut throats, gun smoke, dope, and hoes, is what controls niggas souls.

It was like when you make a move in chess and just as you take your finger off the piece, you see the mistake you’ve made, and there’s this panic because you don’t know yet the scale of disaster you’ve left yourself open to.

With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains.

Keep moving ahead because action creates momentum, which in turn creates unanticipated opportunities.

It is about learning to move with your grief, and dance.

If you have seen with your own eyes a mountain move forward in a plain; that is, a huge rock of this mountain’ breaking off and covering entire fields; a whole castle sunken into the earth.

I still listen to older music a lot more than new singers. I listen to whatever’s on the radio, but when I want to listen to something that moves me I put on a Stevie Wonder record.

Moving forward will not be for the faint of heart. But if the next century witnesses failure, let it be because our science is not yet up to the job, not because we don’t have the courage to make less random the sometimes most unfair courses of human evolution.

Some injuries heal more quickly if you keep moving.
