Honestly, I don't feel pressure to live up to anything I've done because I tend to not listen to my work once a year passes.

I started freestyling with friends about eight or nine years ago. I started writing also around the same time, but didn't meet blockhead until about '94. I started making beats not until about '96.

I've been able to tour because of my music and I've learned a lot about myself while on the road. I think some of the imagery of my writing are snapshots of where I've been and my feelings about the world.

The only bridge I've ever burned along this legacy I dance is the one that linked the cities of prosperity and chance.

Everyone's been on the "hip-hop is dead" campaign for years, and now it's the most unsure-of-itself genre ever.
