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.

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.

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.

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

When I'm making the music, I feel like everything I throw out has to work. It counts. Because if you don't have people turning they neck all the way around to see what it is, it ain't stick on the wall.

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