The better you get, the more your legacy shines. I always just try to go hard. If you don't want do it for real, don't do it at all.

I love the energy that comes when I get on the mic. It keeps me creative and I love to hear what the fans want, what they love or hate about it.

I just want to be remembered as a dope MC. As somebody who really covered a lot of ground and became internationally known.

We was just young guys who wanted to change. We got tired of doin' this same everyday bullshit that we was doin', and we all felt like we had dreams o' bein' a big star. You know, as far as with myself, I never really took it that serious as bein' a star. I only took it that serious as bein' a emcee, which is two different things. You know what I mean?

I never been a hater of these other cats, who never really had nothing, being successful. That's not my problem.

I'm my own biggest marketing tool. I know the history of the business and I might as well capitalize on it.

When I sit here and see that the eight brothers from the neighborhood that I grew up with still have success, it had to be magical.
