Lil Jon

When I worked with Jermaine Dupri for his label, he would have So So Def parties and he'd tell me, 'Yo, go on get this thing started.' I had to go get on the mic and get people turnt up. I mean, I don't want to be that turnt up guy all the time. It's part of my job so I do what I gotta do.

I'm kind of quiet.

Children shouldn't have to suffer for any reason.

I guess certain kinds of jazz music could be Crunk. But the average jazz song, no, it's not Crunk.

If you are having a hard week, turn on one of my songs. Some people are here for different things in life. My job is to make you forget about your troubles.

People think, 'Oh, I don't need to worry about him,' and they underestimate me because I am a rapper.

Sometimes I just got off of an international flight and people are like running up, screaming and hollering, and want to take pictures. They don't really understand like, 'Dude, I'm tired. Just say hello. Keep it moving.'

As a technology guy, and someone in music, I'm on top of technology and social media.

Drake gets you bouncin'!

Something that's Crunk is off the hook. It's popping, it's going down if it's Crunk. A football player listening to his Walkman as he's getting ready for the game, jumping up and down, he's Crunk.

I can't walk through the airport without grandmothers and daughters and little kids saying, 'I watch you on Celebrity Apprentice.' That's a good feeling.

Sometimes I don't want to have to be the guy that gets the party going.

I think people underestimate because I'm the rap guy, I'm a crazy guy, screaming all the time. But that doesn't mean that I'm not intelligent.

I'm here to make people feel like they can release stress, have a good time, be positive and live life.

The work that Rock The Vote does is incredible. So it's cool to collab with such an iconic organization.

Vegas is really rock and roll.

The Apprentice' was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.

I wanted to play drums and if I didn't play drums, I wouldn't make music and drums are the foundation for what I do.

You know, my era of DJing was the 90s. I think that was one of the best eras of music, period. From dancehall to hip hop to rock to pop to R&B to everything. I just like that era of music, so I just listen to a lot of 90s overall but definitely 90s hip hop.

When you put the guitars over the 808, it just makes it grittier and grimier. It's just different.
