Identity is a prison you can never escape, but the way to redeem your past is not to run from it, but to try to understand it, and use it as a foundation to grow.

Whoever said that artists shouldn't pay attention to their business was probably someone w/their hand in some artist's pocket.

I would run into the corner store, the bodega, and just grab a paper bag or buy juice - anything just to get a paper bag. And I'd write the words on the paper bag and stuff these ideas in my pocket until I got back. Then I would transfer them into the notebook.

Is to have had and lost/Better than not having at all?

Wherever I go, I bring the culture with me, so that they can understand that it's attainable. I didn't do it any other way than through hip-hop.

No matter where you go you are what you are player and you can try to change but that's just the top layer man you was who you was before you got here

A wise man told me don't argue with fools. Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who.
