I'm expressin' with my full capabilities, And now I'm livin in correctional facilities. Cause some don't agree with how I do this, I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist.
You got to realise that when I was 20 years old, I had a house, a Mercedes, a Corvette and a million dollars in the bank before I could buy alcohol legally.
I been in the game for 10 years making rap tunes... Ever since honeys was wearing Sassoons.
I can take a three-year-old and make a hit record with him.
I don't have room in my life for folks that large and demanding.
I wanted to be sure that my donation did two things: went directly into the hands of hurricane victims and that it was an amount that could really impact their lives and make a difference.
I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.
I bring terror like Stephen King, A black Casanova, runnin niggaz over like Christine
I got Ice Cube his start. I also launched Eazy-E.
Before now, I've always taken my mixes out to the car and listened to them in the parking lot. I still do that, but more so now I'm listening to it on the Beat box, and I think people should give it at least a listen and check it out and see what it is.
I ain't a thug - how much Tupac in you you got?
It's entertaining to watch somebody break my music down or explain what he thinks I was thinking during the process of making these records. Because... he has no idea.
Anyone that's trying to do something to improve sound... that's all good.
I'd rather deal with Tipper than Bush. He's trying to kill everybody in jail.
