(On his Oscar and why he didn`t go to the show) "I`m thankful for it, I`m not ungrateful. I`m very grateful. I just don`t choose to rub elbows with the whole Hollywood scene. It`s not me. If there is just one award show you don`t go to you gonna look ungrateful. Period. But me, I just don`t like to go to places where I feel outta my element. And me sitting there with a bunch of movie stars and actors, I don`t belong. I rap and do hip-hop, the music that I love. I`m about the music. The grammy`s are about as far as I`m goin` go outside my element. It`s still cool that I got it."
