I've got to show at all times that I'm willing to tear any emcee a new asshole, at any given moment.

I'm always going to survive and always going to be able to make more music because I have a dedicated fan base.

Young black men had an opportunity to make money that they had never made before, so why not be flashy? I'm not mad at the flash. It just needed to be balanced.

I felt that I'm a real important part when it comes to hip-hop, but maybe not so much in the industry, so I felt that I was better of in an independent situation... where I have some control over my life and there's no middle man and it's basically me and my team handling my situation.

I think about every song is pretty much raw emotion - even if it's not specifically about topic there's songs like "All I Know Is Pain" and "Green Piece of Paper".

Weird like Murdock, thinkin' like Hannibal, Man like Face but I'm wild like B.A.

I am street hip-hop brother. That's my biggest message with that one.
