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

It's just that when you heard hip-hop, no matter where you were, it was a culture that kind of made you want to try to be part of it. Whether you thought you were an artist, whether you thought you could be a DJ, whether you thought you could breakdance, or whether you thought you could rap. It was the kind of culture that had a lot of open doors.

Real men hold themselves accountable for stuff.

I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin'. If I say it, I gotta be able to back it up.

When we say a rapper, a rapper can say a rhyme. But an MC can rock a party.

I have to take what I say and make it heavy, so every single bar means something. And there's no riddles in my rhymes. Every single word means something.
