I work on holidays. I work on birthdays. I work on New Year's. I work. I keep my ears to the streets.
When I come around people, I'm up to date on everything. I know all the new music that's coming out, all the stuff that ain't came out yet.
My life has changed for the better. It's just amazing. I have to catch myself sometimes. It's like a dream. It's a great thing.
The only biography I read was about Al Bell, of Stax Records. I wanted to follow in the footsteps of Al Bell.
Three-6 Mafia, we were always doing different kinds of things, and we like rock music, we like whatever - not saying they was rock, but they had a little rock-n-roll with some of their music, a little rock with it.
Three 6 Mafia have been around for a long time; we've made a lot of music. Anybody's music can influence anybody. I've heard people say that our music has influenced such and such, and it could be true, and it could not.
When I'm making songs, I never call them hits. I knew 'Bandz A Make Her Dance' was a good record, but I never knew it was gonna be a hit.
I'm just raising money. Dead presidents are my relatives.
I listen to all kinds of music. I love underground, new music that's popping.
If you're broke, you don't want to rap about being broke; you gonna rap about hustling and getting that bread.
If you look back, you get stuck in a year. I've seen rappers and singers get stuck in 2002 or 2005, and they can't get out.
I want to meet Denzel Washington when I go to the Oscars. Every man wants to see Halle Berry in person. And, you know, Dolly Parton... I wouldn't mind seeing Dolly Parton. She's from Tennessee, I'm from Tennessee.
I kick it when I kick it, but I definitely take care of business. I make sure everything is tight, my finances are tight, my family is tight, my friends are perfect.
I just want people to hear me and my story.
