Sam Jackson is like the Jeezy of Hollywood: He's for his people.

Honestly, I'm on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.

I always try to go back and check my old stuff. It's like watching the tapes of the game. You want to go back and go as hard as before.

On the real though, just being so young, then coming out of the hood and making it is just crazy to see. Just picking up a microphone and coming from the block, then being able to go around the world and really staying yourself and staying true to who you are.

A lot of things come with fame, whether it's losing friends or losing family.

Anybody that I ever dealt with knows that I'm a very focused individual, and when it comes to my work and what I do, you might have to play the back burner to that.

To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there - and bigger.
