I have inner peace. It's a different person.

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

For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground. I did this in order to build a community of people, like-minded in their desire for freedom and the right to pursue their goals and lives without being manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex with a completely different agenda.

I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.

With the things that I love, I tried to put a couple seeds, a bunch of seeds in the ground and see what sprung up. Sometimes it was acting and sometimes it was music. But whatever it was I continued to plant.

Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I did not deliberately abandon my fans, nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities.

I went to Jamaica for six months, and in Jamaica there was a lot of stillness.
