The only reason I started using samples was because people talked about me not sounding like Kanye or The Heatmakers.

Everybody is looking for a hit single but what the artists really need is an executive producer to help put better albums out.

I just look up to anyone who made music back then because you really had to be a musician. There were no samples or drum machines. Those people back in the day paved the way for people like me.

God is my spiritual guide. Half the music I come up with I really don't know where it comes from.

Half of the reason why people aren't able to succeed in life is because they hypnotize themselves into believing that they can't accomplish their goals, it's a mind game they play with themselves.

I think I lot of young people feel like they have no purpose, so I try to enlighten them with my life and show them you can do whatever you put your mind to.

Young kids out here see what's on TV and feel like they can start rapping. They think rappers are rich and really have their own jets and Bentleys, but in lot of cases that stuff is rented.
