We can no longer afford to be entertained beyond the point of accountability. We can't keep selling each other out and be willing to do anything to be seen, to be famous or to be rich.

I think we need to find more reasons to unify rather than divide each other.

You have to surpass the levels of success that you have already achieved, and that's the challenge. But, it's a welcome challenge. I appreciate it because it brings the best out of me.

I give the niggaz what they came to see, a reflection of one self where they aim to be.

I could see myself in the fur coats, turtleneck sweaters, with the Kangol hats like Slick Rick and Dana Dane. But I could also see myself in a leather Troop suit like LL Cool J.

I regret my lack of options. I regret being painted into a corner and having that be the only instrument to get me from point A to point B.

If you're not worth speaking on, then you haven't adequately done your job.
