My life is real.

None of my peers avoided prison. None of 'em.

If you don't know your full-throttle history, the whole story of how you came to where you are, it's kind of hard to put things together.

When you talk about black entrepreneurship, you're talking about addressing the foundation of what's going on with our people when we don't have any financial power. Our basic needs aren't being met in a lot of cases, so there's no way we're going to be able to tap into our potential until we address those bottom-level base needs.

If I inspire you, pay for it, period.

I always wanted to operate at the highest altitude, just in terms of hip-hop and the music.

When you say 'follow me on Twitter,' and you get 10 million people to follow you - you just leveraged your influence to add value to an app that you have no ownership in.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

I don't ever make moves under pressure.

My mom is American, so I was raised in her household in my formative years.

I will never say something I don't agree with or believe in... even if the reward is massive!

I intend to inspire people with my story: motivate young people that grew up like myself, or even not like myself. Just, you know, go through the human experience.

'Victory Lap,' even the title. It's the accumulation of trial and error; that's what I represent; trial and error.

I actually met The Game in my hood on Crenshaw and Slauson. I was outside on the block with 20 of my homies. I see the Range Rover, and we all walked up to his car. I handed him my CD.

I always had faith in my creative capacity.

The reason children accept discipline from their parents is because they know their parents love them.

I got an album concept called 'Exit Strategy,' that might be one of my last ones. It's a term they use in business when you build companies. You create an exit strategy as you make a company. You don't wait till you're five years in it; you create a exit strategy as you make the company.

I hope my story inspires everyone out there to keep hustling and chasing their dreams.

I think everybody's trying to get to a place in themselves where they conquer what they was afraid of; they achieve some of their life goals, kept their word about what they were trying to do.

One pillar to wealth is having residual income.

It's not called quitting if you quit while you ahead. It's about being aware and being strategic enough to know that you got to get out the pool at some point. You got to put your clothes back on and dry off.

I believe that we should own the fruits of our labor and the assets of our creations.

I'm not in it for fame. I've been famous in the streets already.

If you've got a plan, it's not just like a pipe dream. You have a step-by-step list of things to do to get to your goal.
