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

I'm an adrenaline guy. I like to do stuff that gets my blood pumping, like roller coasters or jumping out of planes. I'm into all that crazy stuff.

Half the hoes hate, half them love me. The ones that hate me only hate me cuz they ain't [expletive] me.

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.

I want to be remembered as an artist who was really passionate about his work. And as an inspiration. I do what I do to inspire people.

As far as religion goes, I feel like everyone should have their own one-on-one with God.

I won't cry cause I live to die, with my mind on my money and my guns in the sky.
