As Far As My New York Influence,

Hip-hop Is A Vehicle.

You Can Have Your Own Opinion, But Not Your Own Facts.

I Feel Like People Mislead Themselves When They Tell Themselves They're Into Me Because Of The Lyrics. From My Vantage Point, People Aren't Into Me Because Of The Content, Because Of The Lyrics. Because There's A Million Of Rappers Who Have Great Content.

If Lyrics Sold Then Truth Be Told/i'd Probably Be Just As Rich And Famous As Jay-z.

When I Was A Teenager, The Way Some Of These Kids Out Here Be Actively Gay, It Would Have Been Ridiculed In The Hood. And Now The Hood Is A Bit More Accepting. Begrudgingly Accepting, But Definitely More Accepting Than 20 Years Ago When I Was A Little Kid. That Doesn't Mean That Anybody Should Stop Fighting For Equality Just Because People Are Begrudgingly A Little More Accepting.
