FAMOUS QUOTES BY XZIBIT

“Well, because everybody was calling themselves MC This and MC That. Everybody had an MC before their name and it was also like Ice Cube and Ice-T. I wanted something totally different and original so I used a battle where I was real loud and animated and motherfuckers would tell me you should be Xzibit because it’s like you on display. So I started calling myself Xzibit.”

“The acting is something that I have to work at, something that I have to rehearse, something that I have to practice but the music comes naturally to me. So I would say that the music is the catalyst that makes everything else work and that’s pretty much just very clear and straightforward for me.”

“It was just a timing thing you know certain rappers had conflicts at the time you know and it came down to everybody being able to come to the table and had to be in a timely manner because that’s what the label wanted but those are my niggas and I wish it would happen and I’ll never say never.”

“Actually, I met some producers first. There was Broadway – James Broadway – and Madcap was another group that they were producing at the time. And through them I met King T, and through King T I met the Alkoholiks. And that’s when I got inducted into the Alkoholiks Hall of Fame.”

FAMOUS QUOTES BY DJ PREMIER

“My crew used to listen to “Taking It to the Top” by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. My MC’s name was Top and it was just doing variations of that word. “Top.” If you listen to the old Gang Starr records it was just one line like, ‘Money’s growing like grass with the mass appeal.’ “DWYCK” didn’t have a hook, just a transition.”

“The mainstream has always been about exploitation. That’s nothing new. Once something grows into a larger audience, it all gets watered down. The decision to go mainstream versus underground is the fight that we all struggle with because we all want to get rich from our hard work in whatever craft we do.”

“My all time favorite producer in hip-hop is Marley Marl. He made the beats bang and he also scratched on the tracks that he produced as well as establishing a sound. I could always tell when it was a Marley Marl production. I followed closely in his footsteps when it comes to that.”

“Speaking for myself, I know how to juggle the mainstream and keep my underground ties intact. I love commercial music when it is done right. There is good commercial and there is bad commercial. There is good underground and bad underground.”

“I never heard an emcee rhyme like Rakim…and to only do 6 songs and 2 DJ cuts with so much originality and skill, when I heard it I knew that I had to make an album one day in my life… Rakim had the most deadly rhymes and attitude unmatched by any one in rap.”

FAMOUS QUOTES BY KURUPT

“That was the first one. You know, actually that was the remix to “G Thang.” Dr. Dre showed me that we could make two records off of one record. It was the “G Thang” remix, right?”

” He took certain pieces of music off of it and only kept the bass line, a key part and he kept the drums off of the “G Thang” remix. And then after he took of that other music, he kept those parts and said we are going to make a whole new record and he made a whole new record. Yep. That’s a “G Thang” remix and Dr. Dre took the music off of it. He kept a string part and he kept the keyboard part, he kept the drums and the bass line.”

“That’s another record that I went crazy. My main thing on “Puffin’ On Blunts,” though, is that I wanted to be known as one of the greatest MCs on the planet and I wanted to impress Dr. Dre. That was the inspiration behind “Puffin’ Blunts.” Definitely! Totally! You know what I’m saying? That’s basically what it was. I just wanted to destroy it. I always wanted to impress Dr. Dre and just express my skills.”

“It wasn’t even going after New York. It wasn’t a diss record. It really wasn’t. “New York, New York” was a record that we made in dedication to New York. We really felt that New York created hip-hop. New York created battle rap and the whole ball of wax so what I did was a battle rap on this beat DJ Pooh did.”

“That beat originally, DJ Pooh made it for Biggie Smalls for a St. Ides commercial. He made the beat and really I picked the beat and I was like, “Man, I love that beat. I want that.” Then he did a St. Ides commercial with Biggie Smalls and I heard it on the radio.”

Famous Quotes by Snoop Dogg

It’s hard to say goodbye to the streets. It’s all how you do it. You can pass by and say, ‘What’s happening?’ and keep it moving, but it’s a certain element that’ll never be able to roll with you once you get to this level, because that’s the separation of it all.

What people don’t understand is joining a gang ain’t bad, it’s cool, and it’s fine! When you in the hood, joining a gang it’s cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family’s in the gang. We’re not just killing people every night; we’re just hanging out, having a good time.

I was like the class clown in school so I guess I would say I did like the attention. In church I did a lot of plays, my mother made me play characters, do a lot of drama and acting, trying to become someone else. So it helped me create who I am, to create Snoop Dogg.

Profession- Rapper

Karim Kharbpouch aka French Montana is an American rapper with $5 million bucks as his estimated net worth. Born as Karim Kharbouch in Morocco he adopted the stage name of “French Montana” which is a medley from’ Morocco and Tony Montana from Scarface. He is the founder CEO of “Cocaine City Records” and most of his net worth of $5 million can be attributed to his Cocaine city Records.

Early Life

French Montana was born in Rabat, Morocco in 1984 as Karim Kharbouch. He spent 13 years of his life outside Casablanca at a family estate. His parents are Moroccan but his mother seems to have some Somali ancestry as well. While growing up, he devoted all his time to playing football and rapping and he still calls them as his favorite childhood hobbies. He left Morocco at the age of 13 along with his mother; father Abdela and brother Zack to move to South Bronx in New York City. He then joined Bronx high schools of Roosevelt and Lehman. This is where he picked up English apart from the streets. His father then returned to Casablanca after spending two years in the New York City. His youngest brother was born in the USA after the departure of his father. His mother lived on welfare and he was the only source of income for the family.

Making of a Rapper

Born and raised in Morocco, French Montana along with his family moved to New York City in 1996. His first mix tape was released in 2002 titled “Cocaine city”. He later moved on to release DVDs of his performances and other artistes’ interviews, which apparently he sold on the streets.  In 2011 His career took a turn for better when he was signed by Interscope and Bad Boy records. He later worked with Bad Boy Records and Maybach music Group. Rick Ross, Max B, Charlie Rock. Flip and Cheeze are some of the other artists that French Montana has worked with.

Personal Life

French Montana is multilingual and some of the languages he speaks include English, French and Arabic. He was once shot in the head in between 2003 to 2004 while coming out of a recording studio in New York. He was immediately rushed to the hospital and he survived.

French Montana tied the knot with Deen Kharbouch in 2007. In 2009, they had a son and named him Kruz. The couple got divorced in 2012 but French Montana still maintains that being a father is one of the best experiences in life. He is known to be in an on and off relationship with rapper Trina who is signed to his record label- Coke Boys.

Accumulating Wealth

French Montana released his first mix tape in 2002 which he named “Cocaine City”. Although, while recording this mix tape he also collaborated with Cokeboy Los who happens to be close friend of French Montana. He also released DVDs of his performances and also mixed them with interviews from other artists too. His first releases include interviews from artists such as Pee Wee Kirkland and Remy Ma. An interesting fact is that the primary aim of these DVDs was just to garner more publicity. They in fact turned to be the top selling ‘street DVDs’. The sales of these DVD from 2002- 2010 have made a substantial donation to his net worth. French Montana’s career became rather intense when he signed record deals with Bad Boy Records and Interscope Records in 2011. He soon established his own record label and very soon joined forces with Bad boy Records and Maybach Music Group which again added to his financial success and net worth.

Musical Ventures

Though his dreams were crushed when his debut album with Akon was delayed for three years but nothing could crush French Montana spirit. He generated $3 million from Bad Boy Records and Maybach Records from 2011 to 2012. However the album failed to create much hype.

His debut record “Excuse my French” was expected to cross the 500,000 copy mark by the end of fourth quarter of 2013 but it too couldn’t make the cut. His joint venture with Bad Boy and Maybach spent $1.2 million on featured artist, production, promotion and distribution. Unfortunately French Montana is supposed to pay all that money back but with low sales of the album it seems quite unlikely.

French Montana’s Cars

The American rapper seems to be a fan of speed as can be seen from his car collection. He owns a white Cadillac Escalade, one Maserti GranTurismo and a white Rolls Royce Ghost.

Brands French Montana owns

Indulging in high-end brands that is can commonly be spotted amongst celebrities. French Montana is no exception. French Montana owns a French watch which is priced at $100,000. He apparently spends $10,000 on Versace shirts. He also owns an expensive pair of Vintage Versace Sunglasses X.

Musical Influences

There are some artists that inspired French Montana and were a part of his growing up days. These include NAS, tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, the Notorious B.I.G and the Wu-Tang Clan. He considers himself a great lover and admirer of art. He also admires the works of artists Adele and Amy Winehouse.
