Life ain't complicated unless you complicate it.

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.

As an artist when you come into [hip hop] you don't know nothing really. You just know what you do and it's free of the influences of money, power and all these other things people learn about the further they get into it.

I don't regret anything that I ever did. You just look back at things and you either learn from them or get what you can from them but I wouldn't change what I did.

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.

It used to be when a good record was about to drop you heard it out of every car and every kid with a boom box was playing it 3-4 weeks before it came out. Now it's not like that you just see ipods left and right and there's no anticipation factor. I have yet to see something drop with the anticipation that Illmatic had or that Ready 2 Die and Cuban Linx had. Those records had real anticipation factors.

I'm at a point where I let my mind go with flow of the music I'm making and it's not interrupted by me trying to please everybody.
