Hip-hop is ever changing but you'll always have the pack. And you'll always have those people who are separated from the pack.

There was a while when I was feeling like, 'Damn, if I'd just been born black, I would not have to go through all this'.

I'm not really book-smart.

Getting clean made me grow up. I feel like all the years that I was using drugs, I wasn't growing as a person.

As for being AIDS infested, I don't know yet, I'm too scared to get tested.

Certainly I'm not going to sit on the Internet all day and read what Sam from Iowa is saying about me. But I'm a sponge. I've always been a sponge.

I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand. We'll walk this road together, through the storm. Whatever weather, cold or warm. Just let you know that, you're not alone. Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road.
