There is still consciousness in hip hop.
When you're trying to please both sides of the fence at the same time you really can't do that.
I love to see when people are real passionate about what they feel and what they say.
Back in the day, music imitated life. Now it's the opposite way around: life is imitating music. It's like whatever the rappers say, people think that that's how we're supposed to be; but back then, we kind of looked at the streets, and we made music for that.
When I hear my first album today I hear myself reading my rhymes but I'm my worst critic.
Every time someone come out with an album don't change the whole style up but don't do what they are expecting. Surprise them.
