I wasn't altered by the things that come with success but as you go about it those things play a part. You have twenty million people in your ear and they all trying to tell you which way to go. Then you have BDS, videos, and all this stuff calling you that you start to analyze because you're constantly around it and everybody is looking at these numbers.

I'm just the type of person that realizes that someone is always going to have something to say so I could care less about it.

When I did The Natural that album was done from the perspective of a kid from Queens that was 19-20 years old who doesn't know that much about the industry.

Everybody plays their part in this world and not all parts are the same. So I look at it like whatever I was put here to do that's what the outcome is.

I hope everyone continues to ride with me the way they have done. I could never repay you because each and every one of you changed my life.

I don't see everybody as much as I used to because as individuals everybody is busy but none of the relationships have changed.

Maybe my records might make the next Ja Rule or Jay-Z want to rap.
