I don't like people being something that they ain't, and we got a lot of that in rap right now.

I'm a real gangster rapper and I'm a rapper. I just think my music takes different directions. I don't think you can pigeon hole me in one genre. I'm probably the most versatile in the game, period.

Most of my show is just improvisation. It goes with the energy of the crowd.

Everything I do is going to be gangsta rap, street based, street oriented... I'm from Gary, Indiana, and everybody's damn near at the poverty level.

I study my competition for at least an hour a day. I get on the internet, look at what they doing, then I look at ways to defeat them.

I always knew that I would be some type of public figure, but I never knew that it would be rapping.

I don't have to rap in a stadium. As long as I can provide for my family and my art, and live comfortably and live well, then I'm good. And with my talent level and my skill level, I'll get there.
