#Quote
1 But when I really look back on my life, being really honest about it and now that I've got the chance to travel the world, seeing how a lot of little kids grow up - my life wasn't so bad.
2 I've basically got an album full of singles.
3 I've been rapping since 1979.
4 If it wasn't for the military I probably would not have ever come to Bosnia for vacation.
5 People treat me nice 'cos I treat them nice.
6 We take pride in what we do.
7 I just think it's my responsibility as a human being and an entertainer to see the soldiers.
8 I never let any of my sons beat me at video games.
9 I perform for soldiers because they are important.
10 I was hungry a coupla' times but for the most part I ate every day... I got to go to school for free.
11 I wasn't driving down the wrong side of the street, smoking marijuana, waving my gun out the window.
12 I'm innocent. I've done nothing. I'm a nice guy.
13 Acting is all about timing. I mean, who has better timing than the MCs?
14 Because I'm a young black man driving a really nice, expensive car, I sometimes get harassed when I'm rolling through a ghetto neighborhood.
15 I came to Baku the same way I would go to Texas - because they asked me to come and play hip hop.
16 I finished the movie a month ago in downtown Los Angeles. I had a lot of fun doing it.
