I represent the Democratic party... I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter. I support Barack Obama.

I guess now music is so saturated and so microwaved. It's, like, 15 minutes in the microwave and boom, you've got something. Nobody's putting passion or any thought behind it anymore.

I feel like I'm married to what I do, to the streets. And I feel like when the streets are mad, it's serious.

That's why I like to read a lot. That's why I try to keep up on current events, what's going on in the world with the elections and the politicians and business people, because I feel like it's my duty to spread that. I feel like it's my duty to speak on that even if I'm never asked, because I'm representing the people. I don't want to be in a position where I have no knowledge.

Music is all about leadership and there ain't really a lot of leaders.

As long as I'm not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I'm glad I'm not an MC. I'm a motivational speaker. I'm not that rapper dude.

I ain't a rapper; I'm a motivational speaker. I don't do shows; I do seminars. I really talk to people.
