When you think of a chef you think of somebody that could cook - you don't think of chef that says, 'Yo, I make only steaks'. No. A chef knows how to bake, he knows how to fry, he knows how to sautee, he knows how to do everything that's pertaining to food, and that's how I felt about my lyrical position. It's like I would say, 'Today I'm gonna make a hot salmon. Tomorrow I make you spaghetti. The next day I make you baked fish'. This is how my lyrical content in my head was already bein' reciprocated to the world, bein' given to y'all like that.

You know, I'm a product of my environment, gettin' into everything you know a kid my age would get into, a lot of negativity was surroundin' me. And we came, sat up and had a discussion about makin' a record, I think I was more or less overwhelmed with just that fact.

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

Growing up in music motivated me. I applied that to my education and it made me a better person.

All I did was take my time, figure out where I made a lot of mistakes and try not to make them no more.

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

It's true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang, could be dangerous.
