Nicki Minaj explains what drove her to her fake marriage to Drake.
1 / 25
Drake - Nah, that was just my cousin, she just looks like her. How did this conversation switch? [laughs] It was all so professional, let's keep it a hundred. I love older women, though. I love experience and maturity and the conversation. I like to learn from an individual, like, when we converse, I like to really be able to soak it all in, the knowledge, the wisdom, all that. You know what I mean?

B.o.B - It's amazing. I think out of everything that I've experienced in my entire career, opening up that night was when it finally set in. I was like, 'Whoa.'

50 Cent - You know what's interesting? I look at that platform as another place to express yourself in a different way, to entertain. Not necessarily to create a perception of your actual character, but to be entertaining. When other people used it, it was boring because they were trying to be safe, be politically correct.

Soulja Boy - I thought that he was taking shots at me, when it was just jokes. It was a misunderstanding, a mis-communication. I'm about making money.
5 / 25
Nicki Minaj - Drake is just my little brother and I kid with him all the time. That's all. Yes, yes, we were just being crazy and I think we were a little bit bored. I wouldn't say we were bored, but we were being just mischievous.

Foxy Brown - I always knew I was innocent. And this is all about jealousy.
7 / 25
Bun B - [I see] the hunger and the passion for what he's doing. It's still all very new to him so he's really trying to embrace as much of it as he can without taking on too much too early. There's just so many great opportunities available for him. He's really just trying to make as much good music as he can.
8 / 25
DMX - I don't even know who the worst is, but he has to be one of the worst. I mean 'Bruh Bruh?' Serious? that has to be one of the worst. How do you even fix your mouth to say that or spell that?
9 / 25
Wyclef Jean - If I was president….I got a message for Sean Penn, maybe he ain’t see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine.
10 / 25
Snoop Dogg - I'm the first hip-hop rock star. The others, they do what they do, but they don't do what I do.

Gucci Mane - The mixtape came out, 700,000 downloads in, I think, 30 minutes. Some people say it's my best mixtape ever. There's definitely a lot of songs that I could have put on my album on this mixtape.
12 / 25
Trey Songz - The 'usual' is whatever is expected. 'I know you're tired of the usual,' that's what the song is saying, 'I could give you more than the usual.' The 'unusual' is spoken about all through the record: That's rooftops. That's pool tables. That's car hoods. That's restaurant bathrooms — that's taking it beyond.
13 / 25
Whoopi Goldberg - My brother and I were very, very lucky to have her in our lives. So I'm not sad, because she had a great time.
14 / 25
Regina King - Since the Emmy ceremony, I have been going back and forth about whether or not I should compose this letter. I try hard in my daily life not to engage in uncomfortable situations regarding race. But sometimes it's very difficult to find other reasons that better explain why certain events play out the way they do. It is impossible for me to ignore the published statistics regarding the number of people of color mentioned, celebrated or honored in the history of the televised Emmys.

Jason Derulo - Last year, I went to the MTV Awards, I sat all the way in the back. This year, I'm nominated for two awards. It's incredible. I've watched these awards my whole entire life, so to be finally a part of it is a dream come true. Pinch me, please.

Ke$ha - This is such a monumental thing for me to be nominated, because it really means people do really like what I'm doing.
17 / 25
Jay-Z - First off, I heard the record first, before I knew that it was recorded by a 9-year-old. I was like, 'Man, that record is a smash.'
18 / 25
Nelly - Out of 5 albums that dropped I only had one that didn't sell over 4 million; every other record I did sold 4 million plus. I think it's just one of those things where when you succeed so much people almost want to see you not succeed on a high level or they expect you to; they stop looking at it as an accomplishment and start looking at it as a requirement."
19 / 25
Lupe Fiasco - I don't care about Pitchfork's 8.1 or 6.2 or whatever, The Rolling Stone's five stars or four stars. Jay-Z said I was nice, so as a rapper I'm good. And I'm better than you. And I can really rap. And you'll even say that I'm better than you. And just when you think that I'm not...go to sleep!
20 / 25
Kanye West - Yo man Loyd Banks prolly the most underrated MC in the game... Man he deserve to be top 5 at least!
