I'm not a pop rapper. That's nothing against pop music - I love pop music. I've jumped on pop records for people and still will, but I'm not a pop artist. I didn't start from there. I started in underground music. I consider myself an underground artist, as well as a producer.

I've got a lot of songs about having fun and partying, but it's a lot of work. Sometimes, I make 50 songs and pick out the best 10. I've been in the studio all day, all night, making the beat, writing the raps.

There's a lot of money in doing score music. You can get a chance to get nominated for an Oscar.

I don't advise kids to do what I do. I'm just doing me. I just smoke a little weed and do a little drink.

It's hard for a person to try to keep his stuff together being nominated for something and then performing onstage.

When I don't have to do out on tour I go to church. Church is a good place to be.

What I live and do is music. When I'm not doing that, I'm just kicking back, watching my stocks and bonds and checks coming in the mailbox. I really don't have anything else I do. I may go to a movie or something. It's just family time and things like that.
