Go where you're celebrated, not tolerated. I'm celebrated in Detroit.

I think I did every drug known to mankind, smoked crack, boozed, dropped acid, you name it.

That's why I called my record Devil Without a Cause - I'm a white boy who's so sick of hearing that white kids are going to steal rap.

Europeans don't seem to have the groupie mentality.

Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.

As a musician, you want the music in as many hands as you can get it into. More importantly, I want people to get the music for the fairest price, and in the most convenient way. And that's really turned into iTunes when you're talking about selling albums.

My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues.
