All my life I've been dealing with my race because of where I grew up [Detroit] and being in the rap game. I'm at a boiling point...Anybody who pulls the race card is getting it right back in their face.

He made you feel like you knew him. I think that honestly, 2pac was the greatest songwriter that ever lived. He made it seem so easy. The emotion was there, and feeling, and everything he was trying to describe. You saw a picture that he was trying to paint.

If you get offended by my music, don't listen to it.

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

I need to keep working on myself for a while.

But I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind.

I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice.
