I try not to look at it that way. Being white. I don't wake up every day and look in the mirror, 'Oh. I'm white.'

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.

Never was a gangsta, till I graduated to one.

I try not to look at it that way. Being white. I don't wake up every day and look in the mirror, 'Oh. I'm white.'

If I'm not passionate about it, I can't write it. I can't fake it.

Of all the albums I've made, I still don't feel like I've made the perfect album. I've had ones that touch on this, and others that touch on that, but never one that's just perfect and fully relevant. I don't know if I'll ever make it, but I'm certainly trying every day.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.
