As a person you want to be respected. Respect is always important to me.

I'm still very careless about my public persona. Not careless so to speak but I'm not one for fame. I think fame is the worst part about it.

Happiness isn't about getting what you want all the time; it's about loving what you have.

Be honest, be brutally honest, and if you want something go out there and get it.

I'm a positive person. I just want to chill, have fun and be productive. And just hope that through Hip-Hop and different vessels and vehicles we can change people's attitudes.

You see a lot of people get into 40, 50 years old and have these mid-life crises' or whatever their called because they realize they haven't been doing anything their whole life that makes them happy.

You guys are always going off about how much money you have. Do you realize what's going on in this world right now?' All these black rappers? African rappers? Talking about how much money they have. Do you realize what's going on in Africa right now? It's just like, you guys are disgusting. Talking about billions and billions of dollars you have. And spending it frivolously, when you know, the Motherland is suffering beyond belief right now.
