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

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 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".

[Blow Ya Mind] it's a feel good song, a relaxed song... people are just digging it.

They say blood is thicker than water. Only in certain cases, you need water to live. You learn that in the basics.

"I'm Black". I think that's the best song I ever made in my whole life.

I didn't cut no corners, I just gave it my heart and soul.
