I pissed on my diploma, smell the aroma.

Playing a concert for 2 hours is pie. I would do that every minute of every day if I could. I love to perform. It's the 22 hours before the next show that kills you.

You've got to work hard for your success and you've got to have a steady presence. That's the secret.

I've got my own studio, so I sit in my studio writing and if I get a great take, that's the take.

I signal with an independent label, Continuum. After that I put out a totally independent record, sold fourteen thousand of them from my basement, bought a house, started raising my kid, made a decent living.

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

I still love old-school hip-hop, but there hasn't been a lot that I've taken from the new stuff.
