My momma gave me the name. I used to love Peanuts and Charlie Brown -- Snoopy was my favorite cartoon character growing up. I watched so much, I started to look like him.
A lot of people like to fool you and say that you're not smart if you never went to college, but common sense rules over everything. That's what I learned from selling crack.
Love goes unappreciated a lot of times, but you still gotta keep giving it.
The first time I got high off marijuana was in the seventies, with one of my uncles. They had these little roaches on the table -- these part-way-smoked marijuana cigarettes -- and there was some Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull. I went in there and sipped the Schlitz, and my uncle asked me did I wanna hit that roach. And I was like, "Yeah." He put it on the roach clip for me and lit it up, and I hit that motherfucker. I was about eight or nine years old.
Weed: It makes me feel the way I need to feel.
In jail, you're either gonna be the toughest motherfucker, or you gonna be the softest motherfucker, or you gotta find some other shit to be.
I went to an elementary school that was basically a white elementary school, but they accepted you if you were a black gifted athlete from the inner city. They had gymnastics, they had swimming, they had track and field, they had music classes -- they had all this shit we wasn't getting in the 'hood. It opened my mind up. It showed me how to interact with white people. When I started making music, it wasn't a surprise to me that white people loved my music as much as black people. I knew how to relate.
