When you get to know your self, you get to know everyone and everything on the planet.

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

Before I started rapping and touring I weighed about 160. But by going on the road every night eating fast food, performing every night, partying and drinking I started gaining weight immediately.

I try to keep myself out of the unnecessary bullshit.

When you come out the streets. I ain't braggin'. I never sold drugs but I kept a joint on me. I got arrested plenty of times back when I was a juvenile. Not saying I was a bad ass. I was a juvenile coming' out to the city, to do MC conventions that Mike & Dave was doing. I had to hold myself down. Now I put the gat up. I chill. I pay more attention to life.

Playing the sax and then enjoying jazz music man. It's like I learned how to find words inside of the beat.

Sometimes I feel I'm the luckiest rapper in the world.
