I think half of our life is written out for us and things happen the way their supposed to happen.

It's a bold statement but I think people need to read between the lines.

Sometimes people say yo do you think rap changed you. No doubt it changed me. If I wasn't making records I'd still be hanging every night.

There's so many different ways to write a rhyme its stupid man. I don't understand why the majority of the rap game sounds the same.

I had a little more freedom when I started sampling because you could actually do what you wanted to do.

I get the Martian look all the time even in the hood. I walk down to the shopping block and people just look at me with their mouth open man like what are you doing out here and I'm like I'm trying to get a pair of sneakers duke what's good? What are you doing [and I'm like] I'm hungry I wanted some juice and I needed some bread.

I started studying in '85 and got knowledge of self and started spitting. What was going on was taking the understanding of what I was reading and applying it with my life and applying it with my rhymes.
