I never sold drugs. A lot of people used to think I was that dude but I never sold a crumb. I used to always be upset with that.

I only made x amount of albums in 20 years and to still be living comfortably. A lot of people and friends look at me and be like yo Ra how do you do it? You don't go on tour every year and you don't make an album every year, you chill with your family and watch TV. Everyone else is out on tour getting that money. But I managed to do my thing right with the help of my accountant and I'm still comfortable.

Get your money and as long as nobody is stepping on my wad then we're good.

I've always tried to insert consciousness and spirituality in my records, interpreting the writings of all cultures and religions and how they apply to life in modern times.

Subconsciously, Islam took over me so it was like eighty or ninety percent of the fabric of the person I was.

As far as our physical form, the mind is a great temple. But it has a life span and it dies.

If anybody can make a change it's the rappers.
