For a guy who didn't expect a fan base whatsoever, I'm pretty stoked. People say they don't understand it, and I say that's okay. I don't think anyone can argue that I'm not trying to do my own thing at least.

I've learned I don't like being around people too much. It's hard to stand around and make conversation with people I've learned. But I do want to be the guy that can do it easily.

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.

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

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.

If I had interesting things to say, I would have been a speechwriter. I think it gets to musicians' heads a lot of the time. Just because people like your records doesn't mean what you have to say is going to be interesting.

You can't get someone to like something they aren't feeling. After you press play, there isn't anything you can do.
