My parents had a love for music. There were so many records, so much music constantly being played. My mother played piano, my father sang, and we were always surrounded in music.

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

Heart, Desire, and Intensity and those have been the three words I kind of latched onto.

I never did anything I'm really ashamed of.

I don't know anybody that's not emotionally unstable or schizophrenic.

I like a brother that cuts to the chase.

Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.
