The album requires a certain focus of mine that I can't really explain - let's just say it's all I can really do while I'm doing it.

I just say whatever I want to whoever I want whenever I want wherever I want however I want.

Told me my tape taught them to swear. What about the make-up you allow your 12 year old daughter to wear?

Music is my time capsule. Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment.

Behind every sucessful person lies a pack of haters

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'.

You know, not to sound corny or nuthin', but I felt like a fighter comin' up, man. I felt like, you know, I'm being attacked for this reason or that reason, and I gotta fight my way through this.
