Hip-hop is youthful. The youth determines which direction it's gonna go. I think your thoughts and your visions starts to change, and you start to pay attention to things, as far as the world goes, a little bit later on in life.

Sometimes people just see the overall success and it overshadows our true love for music and how much we love to record. I love to record music and I love to see the reception of it even more!

You know, I feel that God isn't going to put something in front of me that I can't deal with.

If you stay in one place, you can only rap about one thing because that's all you know.

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

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

Somebody can do a ten year stint in jail and when they come home, they can be a rapper. Or, they can go from doing the 9-5 thing and become a rapper because everyone else is doing it. I think that the test of time will tell. If you look around you'll find out who really wants to do it and who is doing it for the come up. I think that's the greatest separation. At some point along the line, it became gangsta to not be talented!
