I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.

Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small and tight. I'm kind of funny about making new friends.

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.

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.

It feels good to have your work respected again.
