Honestly, I’d love to be remembered as one of the best to ever pick up a mic, but if I’m doing my part to lessen some racial tension I feel good about what I’m doing.
I love the attention but I don’t like too much of it.
I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There’s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
If there’s not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
Say there’s a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter – for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that’s saying is that he’s living a fantasy life of rebellion.
Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.
You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing… It’s tough.
I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert’s Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.
My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.
