"I do say things that I think will shock people" he says. "BUt I don't do things to shock people. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I am going to be on this planet. So while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it."

" I felt like it was my time to shine, I have to rip this. At that time I felt that it was a life or death situation."


"I had nothing to lose, but something to gain, I made an album for me and it was to my satisfaction, then I succeeded. If I didn't, then my producers were going to give up on the whole rap thing we were doing. I made some shit that I wanted to hear. The Slim Shady EP, I lashed out on everybody who talked to shit about me."


"Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up."

"It was an honor to hear the words out of Dre's mouth that he liked my shit. Growing up, I was one of the biggest fans of N.W.A, from putting on the sunglasses and looking in the mirror and lipsinking to wanting to be Dr. Dre, to be Ice Cube. This is the biggest hip-hop producer ever."

"I'm not alone in feeling the way I feel. I believe that a lot of people can relate to my shit-- whether white, black, it doesn't matter. Everybody has been through some shit, whether it's drastic or not so drastic. Everybody gets to the point of  'I dont give a fuck.'"
