I've never been the type of person to jump up and throw out the album without it being what it's supposed to be.

In the early 2000s, I was going through a lot. I didn't have my head screwed on right. Where I was at as a man, I was still growing up.

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

Sometimes you can make a substantial amount of money and automatically think that you've made it, that you did everything you wanted to do. Some people just stop.

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'm not an artist that makes singles, I'm an artist that makes albums, and it's a totally different thing.

I think a lot of people can learn from listening to hip hop. It ain't always about beats and rhymes.
