Now it seems like hip hop belongs to the people you see in the videos and radios. So I want to give it bring it back to the hood, make a statement for NY to put us back in our proper perspective, and of course let them know that Ra still spits fire.

Dabbling in music and being in music when I was young I had my own view of what I thought music was whether it was jazz, r&b, or hip hop.

You can look in a book of wrong and learn more right. If you're reading a book that has all wrong in it , you're learning what not to do.

I don't want to put nobody on blast but in the beginning it's like somebody telling you somebody looks like you and you've been looking in the mirror your whole life and nobody looks like you. Same thing with me.

I don't try to go to the studio and make a single. I just do whatever I feel.

Hopefully we get back to the raw essence of hip hop again.

You gotta let the fans shine their glory the way they want. It's like I have a million bosses and my job is to make them happy.
