Certain majors [lables] just know what they're doin', and got a good grip on the dynamic of what's happening, and some don't.

And I'll never let myself down..How so? I don't expect too much from me.

They say I'm difficult, so to put it simply....tell the world I never cared it was against me

Mixtapes are extremely important, especially for New York or North East artists. They allow you to be creative, to get feedback and criticism, but most of all, it gets your name out there. I would say about 90-100% of my success was down to the mixtapes.

I have some things that I've been workin' on, such as delivery, wordplay, breath control, just a lot of other things that artists work on, that the listener may not be listening for.

I read every fan forum and every blog, and every message board, and every chat room. I read it all. There's nothing online that I'm not aware of.

Look, sometimes the truth could hurt you so I blow my cig smoke right at the truth commercial.
