For a while, the genre seemed to be just about sex and crime. Rappers are storytellers; the stories don't need to be true!

I don't buy into that whole concept of success that I have this mountain with this moat around it and then I get into my big car and drive to my destination and never see people. That's not my concept of success.

I am no longer going to become a fictional character to please people. That's too much work.

Consequence is no coincidence.

I hope that by people seeing the result of freedom that they'll want some, too.

I am just beginning to be more comfortable with my identity.

It's funny - more people talk about my 'babe-dom' now than they did before I had a child. Whatever. I guess I'm a role model in hot pants now. That's cool!
