I'd say if you can, seize the opportunity, to go to a college or university and strengthen what it is that you have.

It just felt like all the excitement in the world was in the building [at the Democratic convention].

However, I'm older, wiser, more mature, and can deliver the rhymes in a different way. Because I guess I have a more holistic viewpoint and approach.

It's hard to make it one piece of advice. For me, what's most important is you kind of choose your point of view.

Most of all, what I've learned is I need to share what it is that I know. And it's the whole reason I've done what I've done for as long as I've done it. It's that I'm able to use what I know in order to help someone else grow. And that's exactly what happened on Sisterhood of Hip Hop.

[I like to read] spiritual books, non-fiction, fiction, I have my moods.

I just got a chance to see strong tenacity and a desire to be on top from some young women who have never seen six, seven women signed at a time to major record labels. But they believe that they can put their footprint in hip hop in a major way.
