I think I write more outspoken than the average rapper.

I didn't think of rap with that type of south feel and that look and the hay and all that.

Everybody's slow right now, there's nothing happening musically, everybody's all on cable television and being manipulated by all the television right now, what's on cable telling people what to listen to and stuff.

But still at that particular level of commercialism I listen to those projects I still hear some stagnation in a lot of the stuff.

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