Prison makes you a better judge of character. You pick up on people much faster.

In prison, you get the chance to see who really loves you.

How could you be from the ghetto and be a rat?

For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it's what helps you survive.

As far as anybody in the rap game ever tryin to assassinate my character, thats impossible. You talkin about a man who has always walked the walk and talked the talk.

When you're dealing with TV and with movies, people dont take it as serious as they do with music. If a rapper does a song about shooting people on the block, and goes into a restaurant or grocery store, people grab their purses because they're afraid the person is violent. With TV and movies, people know it's okay, it's just a script.

There's no difference in dealing with the music business with the majors than any other competition. The music business is way more cutthroat than any other business.
