It's one of my short-term goals, to be able to actually record music and release it simultaneously and not just hold on to it.

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.

I tried to make the best music that I could possibly make, and then nothing was ever good enough.

I remember a day and time when the streets indicated what was hot online, and now I think it's starting to reverse a little bit.

Even at my lowest I was sittin on my high stool.

I don't wanna join the Hair Club For Men or anything.

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.
