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.

Hip hop is kinda funny because the further you get into it the more at risk you are.

I'm human so I'd be lying if I said that it's not times where you sit back like damn all these niggas is poppin what's up?

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.

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.

I would do the same thing over again because whatever I did was meant for me to do, you dig what I'm saying? If it wasn't meant for me to do that show and work with Puff [Daddy]then it wouldn't have ever occurred.

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.
