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

All on the street, you get treated like a street cat: "All right, you've been eatin' enough, you're fat, get out of the way now and let somebody else come by."

I want to sound like an instrument. I want my voice and my words to marry the beat. I go with the rhythm of it and the words start to come to my mind and those words could be based on things that's been on my mind for the past year, the past month, the past week, whatever; I write it.

The whole thing is, do as much as you can, when you possibly can, and don't stress.

Working with great people makes you great; you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.

I'm proud to be an American, no matter what. But Amercian culture is stale, you know wha I'm saying ? We keep regurgitating the same sh*t. And it ain't exciting. I seen it from when I was a kid watching the whole sh*t. The sh*t was exciting to me.

Just do as much as you can.
