There's people making babies to my music. That's nice.

Take it off, baby, take it all off. I want you the way you came into the world.

I'm very happy with this new record. It's dealing with different aspects of love-it's me making a statement about people doing something with their lives. It is about caring for others.

I try to tell a story musically in a song.

Blacks own so little of the music business, it's pathetic. But I see that changing soon. Black artists, black businessmen and women will unite.

I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn't. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You're looking at a real daddy.

Mama tried to save us from the streets, but the streets were too strong.
