I want to see 10 female rappers getting regular rotation. It can't be all about a man's opinion.

I don't have to really be in the 60s. Every time I hail a cab in New York, and they pass me by and pick up the white person, then I get a dose of it. Or when they don't want to take you to Harlem. I grew up with that.

You just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.

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

I already enjoy cooking. I like different flavors and putting different things together and really like taking normal recipes to a higher level.

I promised my mom that if, after a year of putting 150 percent into my career it didn't work out, I would go back to school. I never did go back.

To wanna be me is to go through not just the good but the bad. You wanna share my story identically? Man, you gonna take some lumps.
