You ain't got to change the whole world. You just alter it a little bit and you redefine it into something beautiful.

I got into skateboarding when I was like a shorty. It was a toy thing.

With 'Hip-Hop Saved My Life,' I attempted to make 'Kick, Push,' but for rappers. To give a real basic play-by-play of the life of a rapper before he makes it - if he ever makes it, because you can get stuck in that and be trying to make it for the rest of your life.

People have their morals, but morals aren't concrete. People think because I'm a Muslim that I pray five times a day, but you're never going to see that on a day-to-day basis. People fluctuate.

But I like it, and to make up for it, I don't say the cuss words. That's how I get away with it.
