To be honest, I didn't think I would be here for this album [Give the People What They Want]. I thought I was going to die. When the doctor came in by himself and told me I had cancer, it was frightening. He told me he got it and there would be six months of chemo. I really thought people would be promoting my record without me here to enjoy it. But I'm here.

I just want to be able to get onstage and move and move around.

There ain't no way I'm going to be droppin' nothing. If I was in my twenties, maybe. But now I try to keep it looking decent. I don't want to expose too much of my bare ass.

Play with me and you play with fire.

I'm coming back to give the people what they want.

Record designers marvel on that stuff. They go back and look at old covers, then make new ones.

Being with the Dap-Kings is like being an athlete.
