It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn't recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober.

Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when you got your back turned.

Well, I'm working all the time to stay out of trouble!

I feel like a spoilt rapper. I get to pick and choose everything.

Coming up as an MC, I took the frustrations of the underground and brought it with me into the mainstream. I know there was a certain complex I had in the beginning that was just a little paranoid or a little...sensitive.

I don't think that anything anyone has to say should ever be censored or unheard

I'm certainly not a f**king fashion consultant. Don't call me if you want to know how to dress. I just rap. That's all I really know how to do.
