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.

The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.

You have to keep your vision clear, cause only a coward lives in fear.

Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.

You only have one first chance to make one first impression that lasts a lifetime.

There's really nothing better than music to bring people together and to have amazing music being not just created inside walls but then decimating and activating is going to be special.

If you scared to take chances, you'll never have the answers...
