I've been playing concerts for many years, and it's still as exciting as it was the first time. I hope that shows when I'm performing.

This was totally influenced by me and the direction that I am writing about and the stuff that I am writing about. There is just no way that you can be as intense as what I have been through in my life over a drum beat machine, sample, or loop; it's just not going to happen.

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.

To the extreme I rock a mike like a vandal.

I just kind of shoot the finger to the critics. I don't give sh - what a critic says. To me a critic is some loser who has no idea... someone with an opinion. We all have opinions.

i'm okay.. is that what you really want me to say?

It took me a while and a lot of hard times to figure out my purpose, I am so happy with my life. I just want to help make other people happy too.
