To me, hip hop will never be right until female rappers have a stronger voice in it.

I feel very positive about Newark's future, but I know we need a lot of help. I think that starts with the education of our kids and making the streets safer.

I'm as involved as I can be. Whenever I'm asked to do something, I always tend to show up.

It's not always easy to do the right thing. But, doing the right thing makes you strong, it builds character, it forces you to make decisions based upon your beliefs and not what other people think. In life, and in business, you have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone. But, what makes you a leader is having the courage of your convictions.

I have to be realistic about what I can and can't do. So whatever I do has to really be worth it. I like to master the things I do.

Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.

You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.
