You don't want to get stuck with a record that you've done with someone that you feel obligated to put out - that's not really dope, just because you made an effort to get together and work.

I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.

I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.

Yeah, I have animosity, a chip on my shoulder. But I love, too.

I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.

Skateboarding is a part of Hip-Hop culture. I think it's the fifth element of Hip-Hop - emceeing, deejaying, b-boying, graffiti, and skateboarding. Skateboarders live and die on the streets. It's expression - it's everything that Hip-Hop is.

I can tell you that when you're willing to give your life up to see a dream through, the reward is great.
