His momma said, Donovan why are you, on the corner of linden and guy R. Brewer?

You feel pressured to do what you think the public wants, when in actuality the sales aren't reflecting what the radio is doing. Not in the least bit!

When new artists come out and they're not being cosigned or some company doesn't have a stake in it, or someone's not getting paid under the table to produce the whole record or bring it to video, the artist really suffers.

Kids don't even realize what they're up against.

You have to understand the vehicle, the form that allows you to do what you do, and why that is.

There are situations where I'm uncomfortable saying, "I'm a hip-hop artist." In some circles, the response is like, "Oh, OK, so... you have whores and your ties are shiny?"

I'm doing what's in my heart at the time.
