I think it need realness, you should speak on thing that you know about, that you being from, that you experienced or that you been around, you know. I think you need a good hook, good beats and good lyrics.

I want to get off with the screenwriting.

I'm working on my new album right now. Hopefully to get that out at the top of 2005, January 2005.

I'm just going to do me; I'm not trying to do the Eminem thing, the D12 thing or the 50 thing.

I was about 11 when my mother brought me this karaoke machine and I was really into it back then, but about 4 or 5 years ago is when I started printing up my own music, going to the studio and doing my own thing.

I think I learned the most from Eminem because I spent the most time with him in the studio. Going to L.A. with Dre was a learning experience, just seeing how the dude works and being up-close and personal with a dude whose music I appreciated growing up.

I'm a sociable person. I want people to know where the f - I came from.
