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

Right now, I'm pro-leave beef alone. Big shout-out to all the vegetarians who don't want beef!

I'm a breakfast type of guy. Don't get me wrong. I can cook, I'm kinda nice on the burner, but I enjoy making breakfast. I do it all... Scrambled eggs... French toast... Pancakes... Breakfast is my thing.

I came into the rap game in 1992; my life was changing, but my group wasn't successful; I also saw the biggest rappers in the world die all of a sudden in the ensuing years, so it was a matter of conquering yourself before you can conquer the world.

Be very nervous of the shaky hands.

Because you know, we live in an era now where everything is pushed. We live in a push world where everything gets pushed to you. It's like, I don't have to wait for you to send it to me, I'll go get it off the Internet. So it was difficult to be back in that sort of situation. But it was cool.

As far as rap goes, I grew up in Hollis, Queens, so early influences were people like Run DMC and LL Cool J.
