I've been in real estate for a long time and I always try to stay on the edge.

They are people who are chosen to do an interview and they will make a statement and say that they are a part of the hip-hop culture, but from an intellectual standpoint, they are not very sharp, because back in '1990..'91 one would criticize somebody for doing one type of commercial and say that's not real hip-hop and then another rapper turns around and sell them malt liquor and say that's real hip hop.

I make an active effort to remain a positive role model to kids. They need people to show them there's another way.
