The State of New York City says in defense you can use as much force as you feel like the person that is coming for you with. So if I'm wrong than the law is wrong. That's really the way I felt.

I feel a huge gratification out of being right. To see my projects connect in a way in which the audience is passionate is a huge compliment. For me it's like, if a person is ambitious enough, they run in a tunnel that doesn't end...And I learn things about myself all the time.

I never had working papers. I never had a job. I sold crack until I got in the music, so this is the best thing that happened to me and I do it excessively.

I was competitive in the ring and hip-hop is competitive too... I think rappers condition themselves like boxers, so they all kind of feel like they're the champ.

I make music cuz it's almost like I can escape everything I was involved in. All I gotta do is make music. I don't do nothin but make music.

You know how a person is made for something? Eminem is made for hip-hop. The best rapper is a white man.

Reality is my drug. The more I have of it, the more power I get and the higher I feel
