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

I don’t want to be an actor or nothing but if I have to, I’ll act if it’s the right thing.

At the time I wasn’t really familiar with Caucasians and he got me up out of that ’cause they regular people just like everybody else.

I get the music, I get the beats. And I go to the studios and write the lyrics.

I just do what I'm here for and that's to make that music.

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.

Detroit is right now a new Mecca for Hip Hop.
