I started writing when I was about fourteen, but when I was about sixteen you know, I heard Outkast, that was pretty much when I was sold on it.

I think the hip hop world and the rock world still have a lot in common, but it certainly seems like things happen and break at a much faster pace in the hip hop world.

I'm not normally a jewelry person. I'm supposed to be a working class champion and all, and I don't like to rub my success in people's faces.

You know, that's kind of the thing, I can't freestyle and I used to always wonder why I couldn't, and when I would try once out of every six months, but I was always a great writer!

I wanted to tell my story in a way I haven't done before, things I've been going through in my life.

The same things go on everywhere, whether you're from the city, the country or wherever.

Well not really to get attention, but to entertain, but you know to show some elements of rural life as well, it kind of blended all in, its kind of like a mockery in a sense, kind of stab back at people that have those stereotypical ideas of the south.
