There's no way you can win when you're the president; you've got to be the scapegoat for America's issues.

I'm insecure about things. I'm not afraid to say it, though. Even when my publicist is like, 'Go on the red carpet,' I don't wanna go.

I hope everybody thinks they've got the best album. I wouldn't have put mine out if I didn't think it was the best.

I speak my mind. That's what we loved Tupac for.

I come from a place, with all due respect, who's never had a music star in hip-hop. So the odds is already against me.
