I'm one of those guys a lot of people watch, imitate, and then make it seem like they were the ones who did it first.

The thing I'm going through is probably like the same thing that Little Richard and all these other artists go through, that I hear about them, saying, 'Oh damn, you ain't gonna give me nothing till I die,' ... I feel like I'm one of those type of great people that just going to have to wait till it's all over with for people to really sit around and talk about it.

Because I was in Atlanta, people didn't realize I'm one of the real forefathers in the game.

All the records I've made have pretty much been big club turntable records. You need to feel the rhythm.

I wanted to feel like an artist for once in my life. I wanted to use other producers for respect, to let them know that I listen to other people's music and that I'm just not out here on my own page.

People are just really overreacting. It's just feel good music. We at Virgin are in no way promoting sex or whatever these media outlets continue to print.
