When it's the funeral scene of 'My Girl,' and Thomas is in the casket, and the young lady is screaming that he can't see without his glasses, you can absolutely, absolutely cry. Perfectly big, crazy tears all over your shirt, into the arms of others.
— Charlamagne tha God
I felt like people who had a lost mindset or who occasionally did stupid things were having a 'donkey' moment, or some of them are permanent donkeys, so I just started calling them donkeys. So when I went to Philly to do my own morning show, that's when I first started doing 'Donkey of the Day.'
I think Post Malone makes great records, but I don't think he's a good rapper at all.
I hate prejudice on any level. I don't care if it's somebody being discriminated against because of the color of their skin or their sexuality or their gender or financial status.
'Stans' can not see anything wrong with their favorite artist. They love everything they do. If the artist fart, they're like, 'OMG, that was the best-sounding fart I ever heard in my life. She farted on beat,' whatever. I'm an 'objective fan,' so I can give my opinion about things.
I don't understand why brothers can't understand the fact, or even just accept the fact, you can still be a man without having to commit crimes.
If stop-and-frisk was a fair and balanced practice that targeted everybody equally across the board, then I could understand the extra precautions being taken, but since it's a practice that targets blacks and Hispanics and gives the police the right to lawfully profile us, I'm not with it.
I pride myself on being the nicest person in the room or being the nicest person to people.
One thing I'm not doing in my older age is explaining myself to culturally clueless white people.
Being morally honest means sitting down and actually listening to a person and understanding where they're coming from.
When I saw the rise of the anti-Christ Donald Trump, I was like, 'Hell no.' We can't be in a country where we love celebrities so much that we let the executive producer of 'Celebrity Apprentice' become the GOP nominee.
I've been doing radio since I was 18, and I've been unemployed four times from radio for various reasons.
Anybody who knows me knows I'm a Marvel fanatic. I have Wolverine tatted on my right arm.
I don't mind have an uncomfortable conversation if those uncomfortable conversations can lead to a bigger dialogue and help us get to a better understanding of whatever it is we are discussing.
You have to empower yourself.
I always felt like, when you're lying, you're kind of pretending to be something you're not.
I ain't got no rhythm.
I think forgiveness is overrated, personally, because some things people do are unforgivable.
If I was a white rapper, the bar for me would be Eminem. Of course his white skin helped him excel to heights that a lot of other rappers couldn't, but he still was talented. People gravitated towards him because of his skills. He stood the test of time.
Being gay is not a crime.
I think everybody has the right to be who they are and not be chastised.
I don't even think jail helps Gucci Mane. It clearly doesn't.
Trump bumper sticker is the new Confederate flag. Absolutely. All Donald Trump is doing is making America hate again.
If you're family to me, you're gonna always be family to me.
My job is to benefit the listeners first and foremost, entertain the listeners first and foremost, and to get ratings. You can't get ratings without listeners. So I wanna do things that the listeners enjoy, even though you may hate me for it or you may love me for that.
If you live for the compliments, you'll die by the criticism.
You have to learn to have discourse with people you don't necessarily agree with.
I'm a Remy Martin guy. I like Remy and Coke, and I like the white Remy V with pineapple. I'm an equal-opportunity Remy drinker.
I bet you my body is three-quarters Red Bull.
I learned that every conversation shouldn't be had via social media.
We're special because God created us, and that goes for any race.
I am definitely not sitting down with Jason Whitlock because I don't think he is willing to learn. He is fat and 50. There ain't no changing the mind of a fat, 50-year-old person.
There's nothing that makes me feel better than being on these mainstream shows, whether it's 'The View,' 'Colbert' or whatever, and saying, 'It's a privilege to be black.' Oh, I love that.
If something is on my mind, I've got to get it out. I can't front, for lack of a better term.
That's what people don't understand: whatever you do in life, you have to be consistent at it because that's when you'll reap the rewards from it.
When you're looking for good lyrics, you turn to Kendrick Lamar, you turn to J Cole, you turn to Wale, you turn to Chance the Rapper, you turn to Rapsody. You don't turn to Post Malone.
We don't have to treat homosexuals like they are aliens living amongst us. They are regular people.
Every musician that dies is the greatest ever when they die. I never heard a David Bowie record in my life. But for whatever reason, he's one of the greatest of all time now. You know why? 'Cause he's dead.
Real men know how to move as real men. Real men won't allow themselves to be disrespected. Real men aren't punks.
Rappers have traditionally put products in songs, and it's been products that don't put anything back into our community.
If it's one entity you don't want no drama with in this era, it's black women.
God gave you the privilege of this thing called life, so regardless of what this society tells you that you can't do and what you don't have to, understand you lack nothing. God gave you everything you need to succeed.
Live TV is no joke.
That's the beauty of America - the fact that all of us can be anything we want to be if we put in the work.
I like New York, man - I ain't gonna front. The only thing I probably don't like about New York is that, coming from the South, people aren't hospitable. You tell somebody 'Hi,' and they look at you like you're out your freaking mind.
It's a privilege and honor to write and star in my own comic. I can officially cross that off the bucket list!
I don't want any of my sisters to be like Tomi Lahren. You all are smarter, sharper, more articulate, brilliant, so why would I want y'all to be like her?
In America, a black man has to feel like he's God just to make it a little bit when white people can just feel human. They can just be themselves, but for me, I feel we have to start instilling that back into our people. That pride. That black power. That privilege to be alive.
I don't know how me having a conversation with Tomi Lahren all of a sudden turned into me hating black women.
I come from an era of black pride, black power, my father riding around listening to James Brown singing, 'Say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud,' and people walking around with African medallions and Malcolm X hats.
