I always tell people that I was fortunate I was able to come in with a group of men. We didn't come into the game with a group of boys. We were young then. So your cats keep you in check.
Chuck DOf course voting is useful. But then again, I donโt put a big glow to it. Voting is about as essential as washing yourself. Itโs something youโre supposed to do. Now, you canโt go around bragging, expecting to get props because you voted. Thatโs stupid.
Chuck DYou're always looking for somebody to love you, be accepted, and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much. Number one: They're trying to please whoever signed them to a contract. Number two: They're trying to appease a gigantic audience and they get this false magnification of love. I came from a thing which nowadays would be the exception to the rule. I came from a mother and father who always made me secure in my beliefs, and that's where the love came from. Which made me look at everything else as procedure.
