Life ain't complicated unless you complicate it.

Life ain't complicated unless you complicate it.

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

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 just make [music] for the people that always enjoyed hearing from me. I make it for people that enjoy the energy of rap music or a good rhyme. I do it for the people I see everyday, not the Hollywood ass people, the normal people.

I could look in everyone's faces and see them reflecting on how much time has passed and all the things we went through.

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