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

I'm all about change, and I know things are going to move forward in life, and that's just how it goes.

Money's really - you know, song writing, yes, there's money to be made and things like that. But really, when you talk about the real money, you talk about touring. No question.

I don't tell 'U.S. Weekly' which parties I'm going to. I write songs.

I know I'm not the best. I'm not the best singer, I'm not the best songwriter, I'm not the best player.

I'm thankful that I proved myself in music which is my first love, my first passion before I got involved in this media. I am hoping to bring it back to the music now.

My shows aren't about trying to save some place, because I don't feel that's the right venue for it. That's my politics right there: Don't bring politics to my shows.
