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.

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

You know the things I went through as a youngster, coming into the business, all the good, the bad and the ugly that came. I'd had a rough life. I grew up single parent. My mom, she was like a father to me.

I think there are a lot of dudes out there that are runnin' out of gas. Some of my favourites, even ones I look up to... I haven't been fully impressed with their dynamics of makin' a body of work that makes sense to me.

As you keep shooting the ball, you become a better basketball player.

You know the steez; you know my whole program. Brothers from the No-Lands, all we want is the G's guns and grams.

When you grow up in that environment of drugs and guns and people gettin' hurt, it start to reflect your background. And I think, at that time when I was doin' it, that's all I knew. But as I got older in the business, I stopped bein' involved with that, and I started to look at the world. And I said, 'Yo, I wanna start talkin' about everything that goes on in the world. I don't wanna just limit myself to one style'.
