My father being a Caribbean minister, one day I stole the radio. The radio that I stole, I took it to school, showing off how big this boom box was and how bad I was at the time. Once my father figured out where I left the radio, he then got his belt and he walked me, he beat me all the way to where I had hid the radio, and with the boom box.

It will be true work that the kids can follow, as opposed to a facade of you doin' something, and you're doin' nothing.

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

For me, before I go on stage, it all depends. Might be a girl, might be an edible, might be a verse, might be somebody mixing something in my drink without me knowing - hopefully that won't happen tonight.

I'm hands-on with everything, always trying to reach the real people.

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.
