Cold hearts don't bleed. Still they pray for eternity, never seeing tomorrow.

The public makes it so that we have to keep assaulting each other.

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

People think being famous is so glamorous, but half the time you're in a strange hotel room living out of a suitcase.

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.

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