What I'm trying to tell people is that police brutality in the 'hood is nothing new. And the thing is that whether this guy, the cop killer in my song, is real or not, believe it, there are people at that point.

I'd say people are victims of circumstances and they're limited to the opportunities that they see. Even though there might be more opportunities, you might not see them. You might just think, "I don't have any options." You usually go to the dark side, in that situation.

I think all music - not just rap - has fallen into this very diluted, delusional state, where everyone's singing about money and having cars, and having all this fun; when really, people are losing their homes.

I was a pretty bad person early in my life.

I've never been competitive with anybody but myself.

I'm pretty open book, I'm also the kind of person that will say, 'That's none of your business,' too.

You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.
