The neighbor replies, 'Oh, just you and me.'" - Natassia Malthe, Esquire, February 2005

"It's the press. They either love you or they hate you. I'm not sure it's exactly a men/women double standard, but it's definitely about who gets unlucky enough to get caught by the press doing what everyone else does. Some people just get really lucky and the press never catches them."
- Tara Reid, NY Post, January 28, 2005

"Why does my ma act like a bitch, she gets me so motha fuckn pissed. Sometimes, i wanna smack her upside her face, and show her dat she makes me feel hate. As I try tuh be open wit her, she turns around and acts like she doesnt crr. I know i did stupid things in my past, but ma, damn, you gotta relax!

I guess you dont remember how it was when you were a teen, b/c you just dont get me if you know whut i mean. I dont wanna seem rude, but i spoke too soon.

"The most intense time I ever had in the studio was the first time I met Scarface. I told him I needed 16 bars for my album and I’d be at the studio at 9:30 p.m. At 9:30 he came walking in by himself. He sat down, took a pen and a pad. He wrote about three words and said, “I don’t need this.” He started rocking his head and just vibing out.
He went into the booth and just started spitting.
It was so hard and so intense! By the time he hit about the 24th bar, he was just screaming, and he ran away from the mic. We were just standing there looking at him. He disappears and then runs back to the mic. He started doing jumping jacks, acting like he was boxing, and started screaming. And when he stopped, he ran out the booth and just left the studio. And he just jetted. He didn’t say, ‘I’ll see you later” or nothing. And the verse was so mean! The record ended up being "I Never Like Ya Ass" with Fat Joe, Scarface, and Raekwon on Streetsweeper Vol. 1 never seen no shit like that in my life." - DJ Kayslay, Scratch, Mar/Apr 2005

"’No Problem’?.. I was just fucking with sounds, and I liked the way the piano sounded. It was kind of crazy. That was the first thing I laid down too. I don’t even think I had a drum track. I think I might’ve had a hi-hat and snare on my clap, and I just started. I found that sound and played the line, and it’s just that simple.. Really, when you have a hit, most of the time it happens quickly. You don’t take a lot of time on it. Talk to any producer and they’ll probably say their biggest records were shit done in one take." - Lil Jon, Scratch, Mar/Apr 2005
"I’ll go to record stores, listen to [records], buy some records, go to the studio, play the records for awhile and try to find something [to sample]. Funny thing is that I buy the record there at the store, but when I bring it back to the studio, the part that I wanted to fuck with isn’t what I end up doing something with. I’ll fuck around do something else. I’ll hear something that I like and I won’t sample it. Instead I’ll make the drum pattern according to what I heard. I’ll sample it, put it in there, and I’ll do crazy shit like stand under the table after making the beat, listen to it – being close to the floor you can hear the realness of the beat." - Havoc from Mobb Deep, Scratch, Mar/Apr 2005
"Perfection is a process, not a product." - (shaken in by ?)

"Remember those GOOD days you had? I'm talking about the ones that were so good that you'd hate when the time would come when you had to go to bed and wake up to a whole new day? Do you remember when you didn't want that time to come because right now, this day, is the best day you ever had? Remember the feeling inside? Make everyday a day where you have that feeling that you don't want today to turn into tomorrow."

"That’s nonsense I don’t know where people get such shit. Our family did have a failing out with Kobe, but it had nothing to do with his wife being Latina. You know me from back when. I don’t have a prejudice bone in my body and never have. Like most kids, he doesn’t always listen to his parent’s advice. In other words, he’s no different than anybody else. We had to learn from our mistakes and so does he. But we’re cool. Kobe and I talk on the phone almost every day. People can think what they want about us, but they forget, I’ll always be his daddy." - Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, Kobe’s father, NY Post, February 15 2005
"Right now, I’m at the height of fashion. Everywhere I go, I command attention. You can sneak up on me at any time of the day, and you’ll catch me suited and booted. It’s all about competin’. I don’t want to walk in a room and see five or six guys in the same suit as me. I can’t live like that.” - Don Magic Juan, Vibe, March 2005
"I was a fuckin’ nerd. And I’m still a fuckin’ nerd.. Every two years, I dramatically changed the way I dressed. Before I started getting notoriety, I was considered kind of a weirdo. When Prada sneakers first came out, I wore them with jeans, and people said, ‘Where are your Jordans?’ I would wear all these colors years ago, and dudes would be like, ‘What are you doin?’ Now it’s cool to be vivid.. Look at the trucker hat. I can’t say it’s me. I got it from The Dukes of Hazzard. It seemed like Uncle Jesse wore one in every episode. I just always thought there was something cool about it." - Pharrell, Vibe, March 2005
"A mom and her daughter were walking by a house and the daughter sees these people having sex and the little girl asks, "Mommy what are they doing?" And the mom replies, "Baking a cake." The next day the little girl asks the same thing and the mom replies the same thing.. "Baking a cake." And the little girl says, "That's right. Thats what you and daddy were doing last night on the lawn!" And the mom says, "How do you know?" Then the little girl says, "Because I tasted some of the frosting." - (shaken in by BKstyle07)
