You know, I started doing movies. I mean, my mind was brought into saying, you know what? I want to build a generation of wealth.

Now my fans are older and they understand how to appreciate me the same way I appreciate them for being there for me.

I think my thing is I grew up in the ghetto, and I was able to get a second chance. That's what I'm trying to tell kids.

I want to get paid for doing my job and whoever don't like it or whoever don't give me my just due then that's on them.

Television is not like making records. I wanna tell all you kids, do not try this at home, 'cause it's hard. It takes a lot of hard work, a lot of practice, and a lot of different takes.

Let's be honest. We don't take rap serious the way other cultures take rock-n-roll, they take country. They artists are being loved.

If I can go through what I've been through and do a television show with my son and then be a boy from the hood making records for the people I make records for, that's reality.
