One thing I always loved about hip-hop music was the raw, boom-bap element - it felt powerful and manly.

I think Lil Wayne is definitely a dope rapper.

I started digging into parts of myself that I probably ignore and don't really get to express because Common is an artist that is conscious and is aware and is trying to put a positive energy to the world.

No matter what walk of life you're from, you can appreciate the music - songs [can] resonate in your soul and your heart.

I appreciate this moment in time...ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes

Your body is you. That's your temple. So, eating wisely helps you function for the day. If you want to look good and feel good, you gotta eat good. What you put into your temple, man, is very important. I learned that later on in life, but I started putting that into practice. I'm not perfect in my eating. I just try to live healthily, and to take care of myself so that during this lifetime I can live good.

If the eyes are the window to your soul open eyes bring the cold.
