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.

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

With every song, all the elements have to work. First, the beat has to be great - you start there. You start with the music, and then the ideas follow. Then you start thinking of rhymes, and then you record it, and sometimes - this happens to me a lot - it doesn't come out as good as it did in my head when I first wrote it.

I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.

I'm not really book-smart.

Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me.

I like it when people talk s**t. Because if people weren't talking s**t, there would be nothing for me to come back with. I need that. If I don't have any ammo, what am I going to say?
