- A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I’m learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, ‘I can’t go to Kmart. I can’t take my kids to the haunted house.’
- A lot of truth is said in jest.
- Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.
- Anything I’ve ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time.
- Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert’s Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.
- Certainly I’m not going to sit on the Internet all day and read what Sam from Iowa is saying about me. But I’m a sponge. I’ve always been a sponge.
- Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They’re only powerful when you got your back turned.
- Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.
- Guns are bad, I tell you.
- Hip hop has always been braggin’ and boasting and ‘I’m better at you than this’ and ‘I’m better at you than that.’
- Hip-hop is ever changing but you’ll always have the pack. And you’ll always have those people who are separated from the pack.
- Honestly, I never really put the mic down.
- Honestly, I’d love to be remembered as one of the best to ever pick up a mic, but if I’m doing my part to lessen some racial tension I feel good about what I’m doing.
- I always felt that if I was going to do a movie, I wanted it to be authentic.
- I always wished for this, but it’s almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream.
- I am whatever you say I am, if I wasn’t, then why would you say I am.
- I am who I am and I say what I think. I’m not putting a face on for the record.
- I come from Detroit where it’s rough and I’m not a smooth talker.
- I didn’t have nothin’ going for me school, home until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.
- I didn’t just invent saying offensive things.
- I don’t even know how to speak up for myself, because I don’t really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice.
- I don’t hate women they just sometimes make me mad.
- I don’t think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.
- I don’t think I’ve ever read poetry, ever.
- I feel like a spoilt rapper. I get to pick and choose everything.
- I have a slight bit of OCD, I think. I’m not walking around flipping light switches. But when I say I’m going to do something, I have to do it.
- I love the attention but I don’t like too much of it.
- I might talk about killing people, but that doesn’t mean I do it.
- I need drama in my life to keep making music.
- I need to keep working on myself for a while.
- I realized, ‘Yo, I can’t do anything in moderation. I don’t know how.’
- I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There’s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
- I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
- I try to treat all the money I’m making like it’s the last time I’m going to make it.
- I want to keep making records as long as I can, but I don’t know how long you can be taken seriously in rap.
- I want to solidify as an artist and show that as I grow as a person and make mistakes and learn from them, I’m going to grow artistically.
- I was a smart kid, but I hated school.
- I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I’m not ashamed of anything.
- I’d go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.
- I’m not really book-smart.
- I’m stupid, I’m ugly, I’m dumb, I smell. Did I mention I’m stupid?
- I’m very much a creature of habit.
- I’ve accomplished enough with the music that I haven’t had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.
- I’ve been running a lot, taking care of myself.
- If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don’t back down.
- If there’s not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
- If you’re the parent, be a parent. You know what I mean? I’m a parent. I have daughters.
- It creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.
- It feels good to have your work respected again.
- It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it’s all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening.
- It’d be stupid for me to sit here and say that there aren’t kids who look up to me, but my responsibility is not to them. I’m not a baby sitter.
- It’s just hard to meet new people, in my position.
- Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can’t get it out, I start feeling bad about myself a lot of self-loathing.
- My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.
- My only scheme was to be a rapper.
- My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be.
- My thing is this; if I’m sick enough to think it, then I’m sick enough to say it.
- Nobody likes to fail. I want to succeed in everything I do, which isn’t much. But the things that I’m really passionate about, if I fail at those, if I’m not successful, what do I have?
- Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.
- People can try to reinvent themselves. I don’t think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you’ve done up to now.
- Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you’re always going to find a hip-hop tape; that’s all I buy, that’s all I live, that’s all I listen to, that’s all I love.
- Rap was my drug.
- Say there’s a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that’s saying is that he’s living a fantasy life of rebellion.
- Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.
- Somewhere deep down there’s a decent man in me, he just can’t be found.
- Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I’ll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know I’ve written a whole song in an hour.
- The album requires a certain focus of mine that I can’t really explain – let’s just say it’s all I can really do while I’m doing it.
- The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family.
- The kids are old enough now – I just want to let them be kids. I don’t want to comment on them too much. They’re at an age where I just want to let them be kids.
- The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.
- The writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do. Usually when the beat comes on, I think of a hook or the subject I want to rap about almost instantly. Within four, eight bars of it playing I’m just like, ‘Oh, OK. This is what I wanna do’.
- There was a while when I was feeling like, ‘Damn, if I’d just been born black, I would not have to go through all this’.
- These times are so hard, and they’re getting even harder.
- Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.
- To the people I forgot, you weren’t on my mind for some reason and you probably don’t deserve any thanks anyway.
- Touring is hard on the body.
- Trust is hard to come by. That’s why my circle is small and tight. I’m kind of funny about making new friends.
- Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.
- Well, I’m working all the time to stay out of trouble!
- When you’re a little kid, you don’t see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.
- Yeah, I did see where the people dissing me were coming from. But, it’s like, anything that happened in the past between black and white, I can’t really speak on it, because I wasn’t there. I don’t feel like me being born the color I am makes me any less of a person.
- You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing, it’s tough.
- You know, not to sound corny or nuthin’, but I felt like a fighter comin’ up, man. I felt like, you know, I’m being attacked for this reason or that reason, and I gotta fight my way through this.
- You’re not going to say anything about me that I’m not going to say about myself. There’s so many things that I think about myself; if someone really wanted to get at me, they could say this and this and this. So I’m going to say it before they can. It’s the best policy for me.
