I think that, right now, I am travelling in many different directions in my mind, on where I wanted to be. So much is wantin' to go back, but I still gotta move forward. But I think it's just that I'm my worst critic at all times, you know? And when I make somethin', it may be five or ten cuts later before I actually call it what it is. I've always been that kind of artist. I'm gonna put myself through the sweat for it, because I think, as an artist, that's what made me iller, is the fact that I didn't wanna just put out anything and everything. It's just a process, you know what I mean?

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

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

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.

Soul music has so many great artists who put their thing down. That's important.

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

Call me the rap assassinator / rhymes rugged and built like Schwarzenegger
