I'm not trying to brainwash my critics. If they're critics, they're critics, and that's their job to be critical, but I certainly enjoy the involvement I have with my fans. I enjoy the time I get to spend with them, and I don't waste time with someone stubborn who is not going to come around.

Son of a mustard sandwich, that ends tonight!

I haven't backed down from a fight in my life, and I won't start tonight.

What I want to do is, I want to put together a nice list of those guys who I really did admire when I was growing up, listening to names like Lord Finesse.

I learn from everybody I work with, and you learn, every single day. I can learn from anyone. Being fortunate enough to perform in front of a changing live audience, every night, you learn from everybody. Everyone has an opinion and they'll let you know.

I literally wake up and try to tackle every day the best I can and do my best to try to make life as productive and positive as I can.

But I've been freestyling and messing around with rhyming since I was 13. That's when I really started listening to hip-hop music.
