In changing times, we should all lend our support to the independent retailers. Without independent retailers, many of the biggest names in music would still be undiscovered. They break new artists and movements. We all know the industry is changing, but we can't forget where we came from.

I used to take culinary arts at Job Corps so I'm a certified chef. I could cook chicken alfredo.

Anybody can make hood music or club records, that's not hard. But can you make music that touch people's souls. That's what I was out to do.

People really don't know the extent of what I actually do. I'm not one of those rappers... "Hey! Make a hit. Throw it on an album! Sit at home and make more music." I put 4 or 5 mixtapes out and do shows all year long.

I'd take about 40 thousand CDs, and then take about three full vans of people to hit every hood, every mall, and every club. Just hit one city to the next.

Don't give them niggas no money. It's a post warning. Feed as in food actually means the money. And it's post because I already got the money but once you taste success, you want more success and that's what it is.

I don't even go on the computer. Don't anybody around me get on the computer.
