I try not to name too many labels - not because it's not cool, but because it starts getting political.

You never know until a song comes out and becomes what it becomes, obviously you can't predict how the masses will react.

Certain artists can get away with certain things. Certain things are acceptable for certain people. It's a difference.

Imagine blocks and blocks of no cocaine, blocks with no gun play.

I think rappers are the fall guy because some of us don't have the wits to point the finger back. The thing is when you take a whole generation and whip them out, string the mothers out and put the fathers in jail - the reason I know respect is because my father is the mediator between me and my grandfather. I'm the mediator between my son and my father because I'm old enough to understand where my father is coming from and young enough to understand what my kid is trying to do. When you whip out the mediator the kids run wild and the old people are scared of them.

I like my body so much more now since having my baby. It”s just kind of empowering when you become a mother. You just get overwhelmed with this new confidence and you feel really in control of your life. It”s been beautiful.

Sometimes a relationship is what falls cause it's not fair that, that person has to fit inside your life or you have to fit inside that person's life.
