Music is the universal language.

I'm the last person that wants to give away music for free.

Set your business plan to win; raise the bar or you're not going to be prepared. You need to think that what you're doing will make you $100 million.

When I was growing up, there were so many things I thought were stylish. Jabo jeans, V Bombers, Clarks, Vikings, Nugget watches, Lee pants with the patches, leather hats - which I still wear now. All hip-hop stuff, all South Bronx stuff.

I think that a lot of people just don't understand creativity.

You know, I never did music for money. I did music to hear myself in the club, and to hear my creation on the radio.

When I was a barber, me being extreme was how I got popular: you name it, I was drawing it on someone's head.
