“Music choice on point though.”

Our minds are so quick to make assumptions and judgements.

There is nothing like having to change your physical form to put you in contact with every weak part of yourself, to train yourself in discipline. Put somebody on a treadmill and I’ll tell you how good they are at any other thing they do in life.

Ninety percent of what youre saying isnt coming out of your mouth.

If you’re not making someone else’s life better, then you’re wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better.

People ask me all the time what the key to success is and I always give the same answer: PARTNERSHIP.

Your life will become better by making other lives better.

Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.

Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can’t do it.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?? You are your own worst enemy! Once you overcome yourself, then no one can stop you.

I’m motivated by fear. Fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of.

In my mind, I’ve always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y’all just didn’t know yet.

I’ve always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

The love and trust your kids have for you is something beautiful.

The greatest dreams are always unrealistic.

I kept telling her that we can’t compare our relationship to the neighbors.

I worked with him for years. I still think Kanye [West] is one of the most important people in music in the last ten years.

When I get up I still check the rap blogs before I check any kind of dance stuff.

That was my challenge then, how to make scratching still fun for someone who didn’t necessarily come to hear that. It was fun to develop that technique. And now in dance music – I’m still a hip-hop guy at heart, but I love dance music.

A few guys will get up there with turntables as purists, to play vinyl or whatever.

I’m not even a trained producer. I just keep following my ear and working on stuff until it sounds the way I like it.

We have to wake up early and make songs everyday. I run my record label. You work at hours where your body isn’t designed to work. But it’s fun.

I’ve been doing it since I was prepubescent when I loved to scratch records and play good music. As it happens, you know I sort of fell into the mix. I really feel like I played a role in bringing dance music to America years ago.

At the end of the day, Fool’s Gold is a label that, when I hear something I like, I try to grab it for the label. There’s a ton of great music coming out.
