B-Real’s 5 most popular quotes
- Realistically, I don’t let any of criticisms get to me. I know who I am, I know what I am, I know what I’m capable of, and if these guys have faith in what I’m doing, as I have faith in what they’re doing, nothing can stop me.
- How you know where I’m at when you haven’t been where I’ve been? Understand where I’m coming from?
- The crowd response has always been great, we always have fun at the shows and we will definitely be back representing our album to give people entertainment with a stage show, most rap shows are boring.
- Boosie is like the Lebron James when it comes to rapping, so you know if he feels it he’s going in, and he gives 100 percent.
- Obviously yeah, but our first album took us five years to put together, to get signed and to put it out, we had a lot of time to think about what we were doing. Black Sunday was like a whirl wind, we had to rush back to the studio after touring, but the last album we had a little longer, what like eight months?
