It wasn't necessary to speak on the recession, you know what I mean, but I just though it made a lot of sense. I was like, "okay, cool," I'm going to go with this approach for the name of the album [ The Recession].

The craziest thing is that the song ["My President"] is real but you can still hear it in the club.

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

I've pretty much done records with everybody.

Anything that looks good makes you feel better.

I don't just do music for the clubs, I do music for the struggle. I do music for everyday niggas, the kids who ain't got no sense of direction. I'm trying to restore some of the morals back into the game, as far as the street.

Real recognize real, I suppose.
