I was never ignorant, as far as being experienced in classrooms and learning about different subjects and actually soaking it up.

I'm focusing on the music, but I still got a cold library of books that I've either read or I plan on getting to.

I'm more focused on giving solutions and inspiration more than anything.

An artist always know everything he does, you know what I'm saying, all the record he starts and don't end up in the public and just sit on the harddrive.

I never thought my granny, somebody that was born down South, who witnessed America when it was segregated, would see, in her lifetime, an African-American in office as the President of the United States. It's major, it's a real historic day.

If you don't know your full-throttle history, the whole story of how you came to where you are, it's kind of hard to put things together.

If you 35, 28, or 30 years old, and you decide you're gonna pick up a rag and start bangin', and you can look yourself in the mirror and you still feel like you're a man? That's cool, do your thing.
