No matter what I'm goin' through, I could still exist.

When I'm rhyming it's all in my head... Like the slaves, when they were picking cotton, they would block out their minds. They would sing.

No matter what I'm goin' through, I could still exist.

Rap records don't make you feel good no more. Six months after release, it can't come back as a classic

I always want to know what's wrong with you, why you ain't smiling. That's just my character; I just love people and want to see people having a good time.

My first record wasn't even with the Fugees. I was signed to Big Beat Records, so I was signed back in 1989 to the label that the Knocks are on now. You can always tell which generation had the pulse based on how they see things.

I'm not going away fast; I've been around for a while, and plan to be around for a while more.
