My breakdancing crew used to go to the mall and squat a piece of cardboard there; we had our jam box, and I'd spin on my head and make about forty bucks a day, which was pretty good back then. I was only 14 years old, so I would chase the girls around the mall and eat some pizza and have some change left over.

Act smarter than you are and always know where your exit is in case you get into too much trouble.

Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.

I have been known to hang out and party back in the day. I had a weekend that lasted a few years.

It doesn't sound anything like 'Under Pressure.'

I have a very broad demographic, from the 8-year-old who knows every word to 'Ice Ice Baby' and the college kid who grew up on 'Ninja Rap' to the soccer mom and grandparent.

I'm the kind of guy who really likes a challenge. It's more rewarding.
