It was a strike against me that I didn't wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.

I've reached a point in my life where my Truman Show boat has hit the painting.

That that don't kill me, can only make me stronger.

I'm really happy I'm me because if I wasn't I'd be scared. If you want that Number One spot you need to listen to my album and try to beat it.

This album is moments that I haven't done before, like just my voice and drums. What people call a rant - but put it next to just a drumbeat, and it cuts to the level of, like, Run-D.M.C. or KRS-One.

Fusion is the future. The mixing of ideas. The two lunch tables working together. Humanity...we're 1 people.

Ralph Lauren was borin' before I wore him.
