Quote

There are thousands of very, very talented artists who will never be known, even after they are dead.

Death Row had a lot of artists. They had Snoop, the Dogg Pound, the Lady of Rage, and there was other artists that was also on the label, so it was a big list and a long wait. I didn't want to wait that long, so I started branching off and doing my own thing.

Before the Beatles, songwriters were very anonymous people and nobody paid any attention to them.

You see so many artists who are so talented end up living sad, empty lives. This industry takes so much out of you that without the accountability and leaving God in the center, you can be left so empty and void.

A great artist is never poor.

There was never any effort made out there to improve the artist.

To the biographer all lives bar none are dramatic constructions.

Many artists give up after a while.
