I've been in situations like in Tokyo where people sang my song word for word and then when the music stopped, they couldn't speak to me. I've seen the music break the language barrier.

I've been patiently waiting to blow!

The competitive nature of hip-hop culture has always had battling involved with it. So you battle with the other artist but not necessarily in business and everywhere else.

I had to overcome challenge after challenge in order to take my life from nothing to living my dreams.

Even the worst that happens to you can be converted into GOLD if you are clever enough.

I think either you're creative or you're not. In general, I don't think you need to be in pain to actually be creative unless you're writing love songs. Then you might need to have some ups and downs within your emotions to start to capture that.

You either pray or worry. Don't do both.
