I've always been a fan of hip hop and there are cats out there that I admire.

It might take a while but I think the rap game is the people that can do it. We're all role models more than athletes because athletes don't wear clothes like the kid in the hood and they don't walk and talk like the kids in the hood. We're closer to them than anybody because they can look at us and see them.

A lot of the things that go on we can avoid some of it.

Do what you do don't let the label tell you to do something else.

Whenever I write a song I see the whole song anyway.

I'm you and you are me. I'm a man and you're a man. When people understand the more they know Self, the real Inner Self of themselves it's the same physical structure you've got. The same things you deal with I deal with. Everything derives from the mind. What's funny is the mind is the hardest question and I guess that's why I'm always writing about it.

It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at.
