I've seen and learned enough to keep my music fresh and spread out.

When you get money you're always a target because there's always somebody who needs money out there.

A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth.

I've seen and learned enough to keep my music fresh and spread out.

I see myself as a flashlight in the dark. I'm not trying to be overlooked anymore.

Hip-hop is my girlfriend, hip-hop is my kid. Hip-Hop fills the void of the things that I don't have. I pay it 101% attention. I don't think I could be as good a father, or as good a husband or anything like that - the way I am as an artist - until I'm not an artist anymore.

Everybody goes to the funeral, but everybody laughs when it's funny. While entertainment is happening, that's just what it is, entertainment - until it crosses over into a whole 'nother situation. And now, me maturing, I look back at a lot of things, pushing forward, some things won't get my attention. Some things don't deserve my energy. I won't put forth so much on things, you got to focus on what's the matter at hand. That's to put out timeless music, and great albums.
