Man, me and Biggie were the biggest artists in New York. When he passed, I was so messed up. My attitude was messed up about him dying. There was an East-West thing back then, and I was in war mode.

I definitely have plans to do more collaboration albums in the future. I'm a big fan of Common. I'm a big fan of Scarface; I'm a big fan of so many people, from Jeezy to... well, there are a lot of people's music that I respect. I don't know who I will collaborate with, but there's a great chance of something happening.

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

Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.

To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.

Speak what I want, I don't care what y'all feel. 'Cause I'm my own master, my Pop told me be your own boss. Keep integrity at every cost.

You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.
