New York is traditional New York, you know what I'm saying? It's the stomping ground of the hustlers and go-getters

Yes, Yes Yall, You know we talkin it all see how we bringing the street corner to Cargenie hall

I have a song called 'Decisions' that features Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, John Legend and Common. It's about people who have made a decision to really stand by you as friends.

I wanted to make something that reminded people of the way albums used to feel. I wanted something as good as the stuff put out by the Bomb Squad, or Dr. Dre and his production crew, or 'A Tribe Called Quest.' I miss albums like those.

I am extremely happy. It's just an amazing feeling to be in this space at this stage of my life after all that I've gone through and still be able to make the music that is garnishing this powerful momentum in the game right now and you know, get the excitement of my record company and my family and my kids, coming home from school, talking about how their friends declare me the unanimously as the hottest artist in the game right now. All of that is the rewarding feeling you can't put a price tag on.

I want you to see that I'm looking. Look at me look at you. I'm cool with that.

I love hip-hop, because you can do this like that and still be super successful! You ain't gotta hold your tongue.
