A Quote by Dr. Dre

I don't think of myself as funny. I think of myself as rather grave, actually. And I'm suspicious of fun. I never quite know what that is or how to deal with it or how to generate it. That's my fault. I know it's a burden on the people I'm with. It's tiresome.

People always have these debates about who their favourite rapper is. And I think it's based upon what mood that particular person is in.

"Oh, he's my favourite rapper". No, his subject matter is your favourite.
