Sometimes when you're relegated to your neighborhood, you forget that there's more important things than your neighborhood going on out in the world.

If you really look at my lyrics, nobody's exempt. Nobody's exempt from observation, criticism or what I think is correction.

I like to deal with things I heard about, ... People are always getting their house broken into around the holidays. That's when the crime rate goes up.

If you give anybody the chance, they can always make a decent human being out of themselves. It's the people that don't have a chance, that we look down at like they're monsters or they're animals or that they want something different than the rest of us.

But with rap music - not just N.W.A. - but rap music in general, seeing these artists wearing these team logos all the time started bringing a synergy and energy about having to rep your city, your team, everywhere and all the time.

I get freedom out of hip-hop. I get to be a true artist without any shackles or harnesses.

When people see the Cubevision logo, they should know it's something good, something worth checking out.
