I Want To Hear The Artist. I

I Didn't Really Do Many Business Ventures Throughout My Career Because I Would Have An Idea And Then Before I'd Have A Chance To Make Something Of It, I'd See Someone Else Do It. I Just Liked To Watch My Fellow Artists Become Entrepreneurs And Be People Who Can Inspire The Next Generation. I Did That More With My Songs.

I Love The Art World, I Love Art Galleries, I Love What It Means - I Love Art.

When I Write A Story, I Just Wanna Tell You What's In My Head. It Can Come From Real Life And Then Turn Into Fantasy, Stuff Just Rhyming. And Write About What You Know. I Just Like To Tell Stories That Have Not Been Told Or [told] From My Perspective.

Anybody I'm Dating, I Don't Want Them To Talk About My Music. I Don't Talk About My Music To Them.

I Want You To Know Who I Am: What The Streets Taste Like, Feel Like, Smell Like. What The Cops Talk Like, Walk Like, Think Like. What Crackheads Do - I Wanted You To Smell It, Feel It. It Was Important To Me That I Told The Story That Way Because I Thought That It Wouldn't Be Told If I Didn't Tell It.
