“There shouldn't be any violence in hip-hop. You're getting free clothe...” — DMX Quote

There shouldn't be any violence in hip-hop. You're getting free clothes. Basically, it's free money.

The truth doesn't change. It was the same when Moses got the Ten Commandments as it is today. That's the thing about the truth. That's the thing about real. It doesn't change and it doesn't have to change. Now you can put it in a different book, but it's still real. It's still the truth.

I like L.A., I like the fans, I like to come out here to work.

I'm still the same. That's why the fans love me. Because they need stability in the industry.

Men, we don't get much, as far as holidays go - Father's Day.

I really want to be the black Mr. Rogers - that's my goal. I would do everything the same but with a hip-hop feel to it.

I am multiracial, and I went through different phases - at one point, I listened to Wu-Tang and hip-hop, and then the next year I listened to Joni Mitchell.

In the little rural town I grew up in, I missed out on the pop music of the time, the '80s, and now enjoy in retrospect. It's as an adult that I've opened it up to dance, hip-hop, R&B, and even big pop songs.

You can't just be a rock star by rehashing things you've seen or done before. Bring something new, which is what hip-hop does best.
