It's a new year, new year, new money, money!

Everywhere I go, I can't wear everything a designer creates. I'm a little more gritty.

I played a major role in the spread of crack cocaine, the marketing of crack cocaine, the glamorization of crack cocaine. But it's hard to say that it was totally my fault. My judge in Cincinnati told me, "Mr. Ross, I know that the prosecutor and the media and the DEA all want to blame you for this problem, but I sentenced my first drug dealer the year you were born, so I know you're not the cause. This is a problem we've had since before you were born."

Even before making music I was always someone that you had to get to know, at school or elementary. I walked the hallways. I would take your pizza

At one time, due to the reluctance of cult groups to allow members to dialogue with their families and professionals about their involvement (or even to allow families access to a loved one) -"involuntary deprogramming" became the choice of some families as a last resort.

I ain't makin' music for the media. I make music for the people in the streets - that want a street level of entertainment. I'm makin' music because I have the streets to feed.

There may be some difficulties during a period of adjustment. Specifically, picking up their life again and making their own truly independent decisions.
