Certain songs I feel different people should be on different tracks, you know it's emotional. I put myself into characters for certain records.

I think I write more outspoken than the average rapper.

I think people get mad because I make more direct records.

I think Missy Elliot is pretty creative, I mean at least trying to take it to the future.

I write a lot of songs about my impressions from a man's point of view.

As I get older, I 've shied away from a lot of convention. I've just been making my records.

Now my helmet's on, you can't tell me I'm not in space.
