The people who go get an LL album want to hear LL. They don't want to hear LL trying to sound like DMX or whoever else is out there. That's not what they want to hear from me, because if they want to hear that they can go get the real thing.

How others judge me is none of my business.

That's one of the good things about music. You get to do it live, where you can touch the people and interact with them.

To know the rules of the game, you have to be educated.

Gain some knowledge. If not from the Bible or Koran, get a book from college.

Dreams don't have deadlines. Believe in yourself.

You can't let your past hold your future hostage.
