When I came out rapping on my record, a lot of people said, Oh, you just want to be like Puff.

I'd go dance at talent shows, and because I was young I had the upper hand on a lot of other crews. People thought it was cute. I used that to my advantage.

People know me, and want to know me, as a baller more than anything else.

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

If you don't know by now, you're never going to know.

My father was a promoter of Fresh Fest, and they needed an opening act. He got me a slot as a dancer. We tried it out the first time in Atlanta and the crowd went crazy. I was the opening clown.

People always ask me how long somebody can last as long as I've been lasting and continue to keep doing it, so I figured that people didn't really know how to do that.
