I just put out a hardcore double album. Next I’m gonna put out an introspective album.
Tomorrow comes after the dark.
I’m the rebel totally going against the grain. I always want to do the extreme. I want to get as many people looking as possible.
I ain’t calling me God. I’m just doing my part on where I think hip hop should go. I think hip hop should be about more money, crazier sounds, different beats.
Everybody raps. We rap to make money. We do business. Ain’t no other record company out there that sold as many records as we did.
Biggie came at a time just like Hitler did with the Germans.
I’d be in my hotel room, smoking too much, drinking, going to clubs, just being numb. That was being in jail to me. I wasn’t happy at all on the streets. That was the addict speaking.
I’m not a gangsta rapper. I rap about things that happen to me. I got shot five times. People was trying to kill me.
I’m calling for dialogue. I’m gathering attention for dialogue which is what you do in a struggle for power.
If Colin Powell was president, I’d follow him. I wanna get into politics. That’s the way for us to overcome a lot of our obstacles.
I’m a sucker for love.
No one knows my Struggle, they only see the Trouble. Not knowing it’s hard to carry on when, No one loves you.
I exist in the depths of solitude pondering my true goal Trying 2 find peace of mind and still preserve my soul.
It’s a constant man-ego-check going on in the streets, in this world.
What doesn’t kill me just makes me stronger.
Look at those words, ‘role’ and ‘model.’ Both of those are fake words, to play a role and to model, that’s fake. I’m real. Being real, I drink, I hang out, I party.
I feel like Black Jesus got his hands on me and guides me through life to put me where I’m supposed to be.
I feel like role models today are not meant to be put on a pedestal. But more like angels with broken wings.
They say pu$$y and paper is poetry power and pistols.
You get time to appreciate things. Perspective, you start looking at things differently...
