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've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that white people are poor?! I wouldn't say I lived in a ghetto, I'd say I lived in the 'hood. The same friends I had back then are the same people on tour with me now.

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.

I maybe made some mistakes, but I'm only human.

But I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind.

In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum.
