I’m one of those firm believers that good music will prevail.

A couple of people thought I looked familiar, but it was like, No.

There’s a harsh reality – nothing lasts forever. You have to be ready to grow, and grow fast.

People in the record business would say, Well, Pras, you know, you haven’t been out in a while, maybe you should get today’s hottest producer or rapper to do something.

Seven out of 10 Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless.

In life we try to grow and better ourselves. As an artist, I feel like I’ve grown tremendously.

When we came up with titles like Ready or Not, that’s how we really felt.

I really can’t blame anyone but myself, because I didn’t have to deliver the album. But when you get caught up in the gas, and you’re young, and there’s so much helium going on around you, you can’t decipher the real end.

I didn’t want to do the whole, get the hottest person thing. I wanted to make sure every record felt right.

I’m confident being at Universal, which is a great home for me, ’cause they understand what I’m trying to do.

The record Clef and I did was just sitting there. So I said, Clef, I got a record, hit a verse on it. He just went in, messed around and ended up doing the hook too.

For this album I was determined to do it my way. Take my time. I’m gonna win, lose or draw on my own.

I’m one of those firm believers that good music will prevail.

When I was leaving I kind of felt a little bit sad, because I made some friends down in skid row.
