I came up in battling and just wanting to compete. Even if you had no real problem with someone, you just wanted to compete.

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.

In this day and age, you gotta be a profiler to really know who people are, which most of us are not. So, we need time and life to start happening for people to really show their trust colors.

Music kept me sane. I love music too much. I'm too passionate about music to let anything or anyone come in between me and my love.

If I'm trading bars with somebody, it certainly is not because I have a release coming. Joe Budden prides himself on the music and not the sales aspect.
