Rap ain't out there for everybody; everybody can't be a rapper. Everybody can't be a singer; anybody can't just be a songwriter, but it may - there's some profession out there you can be in.
I rap about Memphis and what a dangerous spot that is.
I listen to all kinds of music. I love underground, new music that's popping.
I'm starting the Juicy J Scholarship Foundation. I'm going to start doing a lot of different things trying to help out and give back.
I want to meet Denzel Washington when I go to the Oscars. Every man wants to see Halle Berry in person. And, you know, Dolly Parton... I wouldn't mind seeing Dolly Parton. She's from Tennessee, I'm from Tennessee.
If you're broke, you don't want to rap about being broke; you gonna rap about hustling and getting that bread.
I've got a lot of songs about having fun and partying, but it's a lot of work.
I kick it when I kick it, but I definitely take care of business. I make sure everything is tight, my finances are tight, my family is tight, my friends are perfect.
My life has changed for the better. It's just amazing. I have to catch myself sometimes. It's like a dream. It's a great thing.
I come from nothing. When I got a chance to make some money, I was like, 'Man, I'm not ever going back.'
We all can't shine at the same time.
Three 6 Mafia have been around for a long time; we've made a lot of music. Anybody's music can influence anybody. I've heard people say that our music has influenced such and such, and it could be true, and it could not.
Three-6 Mafia, we were always doing different kinds of things, and we like rock music, we like whatever - not saying they was rock, but they had a little rock-n-roll with some of their music, a little rock with it.
I keep my ear to the streets - that's how I know music. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep music. That's it. Nothing else.
