When I do things with people it's not with the hopes of them coming back because that would be a selfish reason for me to do anything.

Hip Hop has its ups and downs but I'm gonna do my best to not necessarily bring that back but just remind people what they are forgetting about.

I get hit everyday with people everyday saying I remember this record from that, this changed my life or this record was playing when this happened so I'm thankful for that. On the other side I look at it like I got to do so many things in life I never thought I'd be able to do so who am I to complain about what position I'm in or not in. I gotta be thankful for everything that occurred in my career. That's how I look at it.

I look at Large Professor as a big influence. I grew up with him and being able to grow up with him enabled me to meet Nas, Busta, Q-Tip and all these people I looked up to at the time. Even Large himself. He was a good friend but at the same time he was definitely someone I looked up to.

There are other jobs I do besides rap. I was considering going back to school so there have been a few things on my plate that I thought about doing during my time off.

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.

Life ain't complicated unless you complicate it.
