I grew up listening to 2 Live Crew and NWA and I never went out and shot nobody.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

Now that I understand that I'm an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.

When you're a little kid, you don't see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.

The worst thing that could have happened to me as an addict was having money.

I didn't just invent saying offensive things.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.
