“Cash Money really had no intentions of being a rap label because when ...” — Mannie Fresh Quote

Cash Money really had no intentions of being a rap label because when it started, it really was based on bounce. It was one bounce song after another. I started to doing bounce songs for them, and they jumped off.

I've got different drum machines that I use for different things, but I think the older ones are always the best when it comes down to getting that 808 bass.

The single 'Tha Block Is Hot' was a song that was true to life.

A lot of artists are scared when they see trumpet players show up - they like, 'Nah, that ain't what I want.' I try to tell them, 'Dude, I'll give you trademark Mannie Fresh, but it's not about keyboards and a drum machine.'

Generally, I think America is America. America has been through suffering like other countries, but America will come up. I have no doubt. It's just going to bounce. You know, you have ups and downs.

I love bowling on flat wickets with a bit of bounce. That personally suits my game.

My church people supported me when I made my transition from gospel to bounce and that made it a lot easier.

It's really helpful to have somebody to bounce off of and that will say, 'Yeah, that's a horrible idea. You shouldn't do it.'

I think - I think I've always been kind of - I used to think of myself as a piece of rubber when I was a kid because I was kind of very shy and very - very emotional about things, but I kind of would bounce back.
