You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.

I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times, Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind

Hip-hop is the streets. Hip-hop is a couple of elements that it comes from back in the days... that feel of music with urgency that speaks to you. It speaks to your livelihood and it's not compromised. It's blunt. It's raw, straight off the street - from the beat to the voice to the words.

No idea is original, there's nothing new under the sun, it's never what you do, but how it's done

When you're a teenager, you want to meet a lot of girls - you want to get the most girls. You don't know anything about respect; you don't know anything about being faithful and loyal to your girlfriend.

Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe.

The greatest sin is fear and giving up.
