He made you feel like you knew him. I think that honestly, 2pac was the greatest songwriter that ever lived. He made it seem so easy. The emotion was there, and feeling, and everything he was trying to describe. You saw a picture that he was trying to paint.

I'm not really book-smart.

The emotions in a song - the anger, aggression - have got to be legitimate.

See, regardless of what anybody believes who hates me; you ain't gonna make or break me.

I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice.

I want to keep making records as long as I can, but I don't know how long you can be taken seriously in rap.

In my mind I'ma fighter, my heart's a lighter, my soul is the fluid. My flow sparks it right up.
