Prison has humbled me in a lot of ways, because when you go to prison, I became 11 R 2024 you know, I wasn't Ja Rule the superstar. I wasn't any of that. I was just a regular inmate.

My role now is as an artist and as a mogul to inspire and give others opportunities.

I went through a lot of phases and studied many religions. I am not into religion, I am spiritual.

I've signed a few sneakers in my day.

Be very nervous of the shaky hands.

I get mad quick and and go off at the handle quick.

A lot of people say I tried to emulate Tupac, but when I look back at my career, we're very different artists. I took pages out of Pac's book, of course, and lots of other rappers - Biggie, Nas - of course you take pages out of those books, but you eventually make it your own thing. And I think I did a good job of that.
