I’m not no follower, I’m a leader. I ain’t a soldier, I’m a general, so I’m gonna leave it at that, man.
you know how a butterfly is the symbol of new life, a new beginning. I’m just tryin’ to live, man. I just wanna live to see my son grow.
What’s the deal with the new butterfly tattoo on
my face and the tears? Man, it just represents new life. I got the teardrop on some bad shit, stupid shit don’t even gotta go there but – it’s new life, man. After the shooting and shit, and Hot 97, and all that, donatin’ money to the kids, [and] my son's birthday. And then I felt like, if in 2001 after I woke up out the coma and shit; if a nigga wouldn’t a made it, if I [would’ve] died, I wouldn’t have,you know what I’m saying? Like, the Hip-Hop world, wouldn’t know Game, man.
LA's crazy. When I was younger and watched The Beverly Hillbillies Or Beverly Hills 90210, I used to think it was so far from the 'hood. We were just in Compton and saw the yellow tape out, the sheriffs pickin' up shells and looking for someone to arrest and take to jail. We get on the freeway for 10 or 15 minutes, and we're in Beverly Hills, where we can sit in a Subway with no problems.
I got shot in the leg. I believe in God, man, and I need to be a little bit more thankful, man, ‘cause a lotta people that ain’t here.
Me, myself, I'm not a star. I'm just a regular guy who has a great rap album and is the protégé of Dr. Dre. But I'm the most down-to-earth guy.
I ain’t takin’ nothing away from the other West Coast artists or nobody, no other artist, but I’m sayin’, when the West Coast was dry, I brought it back to the bright lights, to the mainstream, to the MTV, BET level, and I’m gonna hold it down. In 2006, I’m gonna do it again, man.
Real situations and real problems can be solved with real talk.
Aw man. All I’m gonna say is that I got my label. I’m not 100% sure it’s gonna fall under Aftermath/Interscope. I’m working with a lot of artists, but I can’t confirm that. I don’t wanna show nobody no false hopes or none of that. I do have a group called Khakis and Chucks though. And when you find out who they are, it’s gonna amaze you.
Yeah, but ain’t never had an album out or nothin’ like that, so you’ll see. I’m sellin’ everything, man. Wall Street Black toilet paper, wipe ya ass, Black! That way you can’t be embarrassed by your shi stains---some shit like that.

It's
called 'The Dr.'s Advocate'. It means Dr. Dre's the man; what he says
goes. He's got the formula, we gonna make it happen. - On the title of
his sophomore album
Dr.
Dre makes good music. Eminem,
50,
myself, we all sell records. We're all protégés of Dr.
Dre. So me and 50's beef stays outside and we don't bring it in the
house. - On his feud with 50

My
second album is the highest anticipated record coming out this year and
I've been spending long hours in the studio to make sure it's a classic.
