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.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.

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.

Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.
