I think Def Jam happened to be one of the labels that really didn't have a good grip on things that were going on. I'll say that - that's my political answer.

Sometimes you gotta stand by your failures to recognize your success

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

It sometimes becomes difficult to tell when you're even creating a buzz. You know, everything in this game, it so relies on timing that that part is really important, and it's something that everyone tries to pay a lot of attention to.

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

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.

You want attention, you want support, you want to be treated properly, and I don't wanna have to go anywhere and teach people how to treat me.
