I wanted to say what wasn't being said. I wanted to give people a real story. I wanted people to know people like me exist in the world.

Don't speak to fools, they scorn the wisdom of your words.

I'm capable of anything, my imagination can give me wings

I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.

I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.

I've met a lot of people and happened to inspire a lot of people who I'm in conversation with about business. It's just how things are going for me and it's great, but music is always going to be number one for me.

Hip-hop ain't died because of the South, that's retarded. When I named the album originally, I thought I bit off more than I could chew but you'd be an idiot to think I'm talking about how the South killed hip-hop or how New York isn't where it should be or where it once was. It was like, "Damn, I need to explain this?" But I thought, "Nah, the proof is right there. We should know what it is." I expect the hip-hop audience to be avant garde. I want them to be where I'm at or beyond where I'm at.
