Whether you're a DJ, whether you a rapper, whether you a producer, take it seriously. This is an occupation - you can get paid - don't expect to blow up overnight, and appreciate when you do get paid any type of money, appreciate it.
I don't get inspired by too many people because I like uniqueness. I'm a unique dude.
I'm a corporate thug. That's the best way to be.
I'm definitely underrated. By far.
I've got a big heart and I believe in good karma.
My mom and dad divorced when I was 8 years old, but my Dad never left my life. We would go over there on weekends and he'd be playing his guitar, listening to Bobby Blue Bland and B. B. King and KBLX radio while he was out in the garage painting custom cars.
I was the class clown when I was a little young mustache.
People, a lot of times, don't like what's different. When it's something different out there, the majority of people will be like 'aww, that's wack!' but if it's regular, plain or a straight through flow, it's easier for them to adapt to, because everyone likes the normal.
I talk about things that real street cats can relate to.
My momma was working very hard, doing three jobs... she just worked her butt off, man. On the weekends she started to play this song called 'Living for the Weekend.'
However God had it planned, I'm rockin' with how he do it. He took the steering wheel and I'm letting him drive.
I don't wanna be like everybody else, I don't wanna rap like everybody else.
I'm not boasting or nothing but a lot of people have a lot of love for me. I'm a legend, but I stay H and H, hungry and humble.
A lot of people - they might think I fell off, but they don't know I'm eating. I'm on the West coast, eating. It's just they don't hear about me because they don't see me on the TV. But I'm still around.
I got a great imagination, and I pay close attention to my surroundings and I'm very observant.
Music is very therapeutic and healing, and I hit it from all angles.
I'm just a storyteller.
I did a double CD, 'The Element of Surprise,' in 1998. That album went gold.
I'm the most humblest guy you can ever talk to or meet.
The earliest music I remember hearing is Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together.' That was when my momma and my daddy were together, before they went their separate ways.
