Restlessness is my nemesis. It's hard to just chill and sit still.

Hip-hop is a beautiful culture. It's inspirational, because it's a culture of survivors. You can create beauty out of nothingness.

I give a damn if any fan recalls my legacy, I'm trying to live life in the sight of GOD's memory.

What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.

Hip-Hop went from selling crack to smoking it

If 'Life in Marvelous Times' can't get on the radio, then I don't need to be on the radio.

I'm just an artist and I'm doin' what I like to do.
